Q

Absolute instruments (đo lường trực tiếp)

A

no comparison with another
instrument being required (the constants of the instruments and its deflection
=>no calibration of the instrument is required)
e.g. the tangent galvanometer, PMMC

Q

Secondary instruments (đo lường thứ cấp/gián tiếp):

A

Secondary instruments (đo lường thứ cấp/gián tiếp): (being calibrated by
comparison with either an absolute instrument or one which has already been
calibrated), classified by:
1. Indicating instruments: to indicate the magnitude of a quantity being measured
e.g. VOM

  1. Recording instruments: to give a continuous record of the quantity being measured over a specified period.
    e. g. Oscilloscope
  2. Integrating instruments: to record the totalized events over a specified period of time
    e. g. Ampere hour and watt hour (energy) meters

Q

Function of the controlling system:

A
  • To produce a torque equal and opposite to the deflecting torque at the final steady position of the pointer in order to make the deflection of the pointer definite for a particular magnitude of current.
  • To bring the moving system back to its zero position when the force causing the instrument moving system deflect is removed.

Q

Damping torque/force

A

to bring the moving system to rest at the final
deflected position quickly (without oscillation or very small oscillation)

  • Air friction, fluid friction, eddy currents provide the damping torque/force to act

Constructional Details

A
  • Moving System
  • Controlling System
  • Damping System
17
Q

Moving System

A
  • Properties:
    + The moving parts should be light (proportional to the weight of the moving part)
    + The frictional force should be minimum (opposite to the movement)
  • Supports:
    + Suspension (hệ thống giảm xốc)
    + Taut Suspension (hế thống giảm xốc hai bên)
    + Pivot and Jewel bearing (chốt quay và ổ bi loại Jewel)
18
Q

Controlling system

A
  • Spring control

- Gravity control

19
Q

Spring Control

A
  • 2 control springs, graduated scale, spindle, balance weight.
  • formula…
20
Q

advantages of Gravity control

A
  • cheaper
  • independent of temperature
  • does not deteriorate with time
21
Q

Air-friction damping

A

A light aluminum piston is attached to the moving system and moves in an air
chamber closed at one en

22
Q

Fluid-friction damping

A

A light vane attached to the spindle of the moving system, dips into a pot of
damping oil and should be completely submerged by oil. The frictional drag in the
disc is always in the direction opposing motion.

23
Q

Eddy-current damping

A
  • When a sheet of conducting material moves in the magnetic field -> cut through lines of force -> create eddy currents in the material -> induce the damping force against the motion of moving system.
  • The damping force is proportional to the magnitude of current and the strength of
    the field.
  • The damping force is proportional to the velocity of the moving system and is
    ZERO in case of no movement of the system.
24
Q

Eddy current damping, 2 types

A
  • Eddy-current damping torque of metal former

- Eddy-current damping torque of metal disc

25
Q

The moving coil in a PMMC instrument is supported by what ?

A

supported by
+ jeweled bearings
+ 2 flat metal ribbons held taut by springs
=> Taut band suspension is the toughest and the most sensitive of the two

26
Q

the damping force in a PMMC instrument is provided by what ?

A

the damping force in a PMMC instrument is provided by eddy currents induced in the aluminum coil former as it moves thru the magnetic field

27
Q

the damping force is usually provided by what ?

A

A deflection instrument requires a damping force to stop the pointer oscillating about the indicated reading.
The damping force is usually produced by eddy currents in a nonmagnetic coil former. These exist when the coil is in motion.

28
Q

Control torque Tc of PMMC instrument is propotional to ?

A

to the deflection angle theta and to the current => the scale is linear or uniformly divided.

29
Q

describe damping torque in in PMMC

A
  • When the aluminum former moves with the coil in the field of permanent magnet, a voltage is induced, causing eddy current to flow in it.
    -> these current exerts a force on the former
    .=> by Lenz’s law, this force oppose the motion producing it.
30
Q

Advantages of PMMC

A
  1. Sensitive to small current
  2. Very accurate and reliable
  3. Uniform scale up to 270 degree
  4. Very effective built in damping
  5. Low power consumption, varies from 25uW to 200uW
  6. Free from hysteresis and not effected by external fields because its permanent magnet shields the coil from external magnetic fields
  7. Easily adopted as a multirange instrument
