Types of measuring instruments

The measuring instruments are divided into four major parts:

1.) Indicating Instrument

  • The indicating Instrument displays only the value of the electrical quantities per time of measurement.
  • This instrument gives the reading only when connected to the electrical supply. Otherwise, it goes to the zero position.
  • Ammeters, Voltmeters, Wattmeters, etc are examples of indicating instruments.

2.) Recording Instrument

  • The recording Instrument displays and records the reading of the electrical quantities per time of measurement.
  • This instrument is generally used in the generating Station and substation.
  • ECG and X-Rays are examples of recording instruments.

3.) Integrating Instrument

  • The Integrating Instrument displays, record, and add the numerical value of the reading of the electrical quantities per time of measurement.
  • The energy meter and Ampere-hour meter are examples of integrating instruments.

4.) Null Deflection Instrument

  • The Null Deflection Instrument shows the reading of the electrical quantities without the deflection angle at per time of measurement.
  • The potentiometer is an example of a null deflection instrument.
