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.
