Preface
This book doesnt make promise but provides complete satisfaction to the readers. The market
scenario is confusing and readers dont find the optimum quality books. This book provides
complete set of problems appeared in competition exams as well as fresh set of problems.
The book is categorized into units which are then sub-divided into chapters and the concepts
of the problems are addressed in the relevant chapters. The aim of the book is to avoid the
unnecessary elaboration and highlights only those concepts and techniques which are absolutely
necessary. Again time is a critical factor both from the point of view of preparation duration
and time taken for solving each problem in the examination. So the problems solving methods
in the books are those which take the least distance to the solution.
For a wide collection of problems, for a variety of problems and the efficient way of solving
them, brief theory and problem solving methodology what one needs to go through is there
in the book. Each unit (e.g. electrical and electronic measurement) is subdivided into average
seven number of chapters on an average each of which contains 40 problems which are selected
so as to avoid unnecessary redundancy and highly needed completeness. As well as, a brief
theory with problem solving methodology and some important points has been introduced at
the starting of each chapter, which helps in solving the problems.
We shall appreciate and greatly acknowledge the comments and suggestion from the users of
this book.

Measurement of Translational displacement

Translational displacement transducers are instruments that measure the

motion of a body in a straight line between two points. Many different types
of translational displacement transducer exist and these, along with their
relative merits and characteristics, are discussed in the following sections.

3.2.1 Resistive Potentiometer

Figure 3.1 shows the different types of potentiometer circuits. Circuit (a)
provides dc output currents of range 420 mA or any other desired range;
Circuit (c) is the usual variable potential divider, also known as singleended potentiometer circuit, Circuit (d) is a push-pull potentiometer circuit.

Loading Effect

If the voltmeter is electronic in nature, and has high input impedance, the
loading effect will be negligible, with the ratio of Vo /Ei of Figure 1.1(c)
being the same as Rx /R p . For a linear transducer, Rx /R p is the same as
the fractional value x , which is the ratio of the displacement given to the
contactor, to its full-scale value. Hence under no-load conditions,

x = Rx = Vo
Rp
Ei
For the same position of contactor, the output voltage will be lower if RL , the
resistance of voltmeter forming the load, is finite and this new value of Vol, if
taken to represent the displacement, is given by
Vol = xl

Ei
With the true value being x , the error is given by

Representing R p /RL by m , the percentage error can be obtained as

3.2.2 Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT)

LVDT is a passive inductive transformer. It works on the principle of variableinductance.
Construction of LVDT

Figure 3.2 shows the basic construction of an LVDT. The transformer

consists of a single primary winding P1 and two secondary windings S1 and
S2 wound on a hollow cylindrical former. The secondary windings have an
equal number of turns and are identically placed on either side of the primary
windings. The primary winding is connected to an ac source.

Figure 3.2: Construction of LVDT

A movable soft iron core slides within the hollow former and therefore
affects the magnetic coupling between the primary and the two secondaries.
The displacement to be measured is applied to an arm attached to the soft
iron core. The whole assembly is placed in a stainless steel housing and the
end lids provide electrostatic and electromagnetic shielding. The frequency of
the ac applied to the primary winding ranges from 50 Hz to 20 kHz.

Operation of LVDT

i. n

Since the primary winding is excited by an ac source, it produces an

alternating magnetic field which in turn induces ac voltages in the two
secondary windings. In order to convert the output from S1 to S2 into a
single voltage signal, the two secondaries S1 and S2 are connected in series
opposition, as shown in Figure 3.3. Let the output voltage of the secondary
winding S1 is VS1 and that of secondary winding S2 is VS2 . Hence the output
voltage of the transducer is the difference of the two voltages. i.e.

Vo = VS1 VS2

Advantages of LVDT

i. n

o
.c

1. Linearity: The output voltage of this transducer is practically linear

for displacement upto 5 mm.
2. High output: It gives a high output, and therefore intermediate
amplification devices are not required.
3. Infinite resolution: The change in output voltage is stepless. The
effective resolution depends more on the test equipment than on the
transducer.
4. Ruggedness: These transducers can usually tolerate a high degree of
vibration and shock.
5. Less friction: There are no sliding contacts.
6. High sensitivity: The transducer possesses a sensitivity as high as 40
V/mm.
7. Low power consumption: Most LVDTs consume less than 1 W of
power.
8. Low hysteresis: This transducer has a low hysteresis, hence repeatability
is excellent under all conditions.

1. Large displacements are required for appreciable differential output.

2. They are sensitive to stray magnetic fields.
3. The receiving instrument must be selected to operate on ac signals, or
a demodulator network must be used if a dc output is required.
4. The dynamic response is limited mechanically by the mass of the core
and electrically by the applied voltage.
5. Temperature also affects the transducer.

3.2.3 Capacitive Displacement Transducers

The capacitive displacement transducer is fundamentally a proximity

transducer, in the sense that the movable plate or electrode may be the
conducting surface of any object in the vicinity of the fixed plate. If the
transducer has a solid insulating material of dielectric constant , as shown
in Figure 3.4(a), the capacitance is given by

When the core slides within the hollow former, the output voltage Vo will also
change. The amount of voltage change will be proportional to the amount of
linear motion.

a

Differentiation of position measurements obtained from any of the

translational displacement transducers described in previous section can be
used to produce a translational velocity signal. Unfortunately, the process of
differentiation always amplifies noise in a measurement system. Therefore,
if this method has to be used, a low-noise instrument such as a d.c. excited
carbon film potentiometer or laser interferometer should be chosen. In the
case of potentiometers, a.c. excitation must be avoided because of the problem
that harmonics in the power supply would cause.

3.3.2 Integration of the Output of an Accelerometer

Where an accelerometer is already included within a system, integration
of its output can be performed to yield a velocity signal. The process of
integration attenuates rather than amplifies measurement noise and this is
therefore an acceptable technique.

3.4

Measurement of Translational Acceleration

The only class of device available for measuring acceleration is the

accelerometer. Most forms of accelerometer consist of a mass suspended by a
spring and damper inside a housing, as shown in Figure 3.5. The accelerometer
is rigidly fastened to the body undergoing acceleration. Any acceleration of

In steady state, when the mass inside is accelerating at the same rate as
the case of the accelerometer, then we have

This is the equation of motion of a second order system, and in the absence
of damping, the output of the accelerometer would consist of non-decaying
oscillations. A damper is therefore included within the instrument, which
produces a damping force, Fd , proportional to the velocity of the mass M

Measurement of Rotational Displacement

Rotational displacement transducers measure the angular motion of a body

about some rotation axis. The various devices available for measuring
rotational displacements are described in following sections.


NOTE
Rotational transducers are important not only for measuring the rotation of bodies such as
shafts, but also as part of systems that measure translational displacement by converting the
translational motion to a rotary form.

linearly proportional to the angular displacement of its input shaft. When
energized with a fixed ac source, the output signal is linear within a specified
range over the angular displacement.

Construction of RVDT

The RVDT is similar in construction to the LVDT, except that a cam-shaped

core replaces the core in the LVDT as shown in Figure 3.6. Most RVDTs are
composed of a wound, laminated stator and a salient two-pole rotor (core).
The stator, containing four slots, contains both the primary winding and the
two secondary windings. Some secondary windings may also be connected
together.

Operation of RVDT

Basic RVDT operation is provided by rotating an iron-core bearing supported

within a housed stator assembly. A fixed alternating current excitation is
applied to the primary stator coil that is electromagnetically coupled to the
secondary coils. This coupling is proportional to the angle of the input shaft.
The output pair is structured so that one coil is in-phase with the excitation
coil, and the second is 180c out-of-phase with the excitation coil. Now, we

CASE
I

When the rotor is in a position that directs the available flux equally in both
the in-phase and out-of-phase coils, the output voltages cancel and result in
a zero values signal. This is referred to as the null position.

CASE
II

If the core is turned anticlockwise, the flux linking with one winding S1 ,
increases while the other S2 decreases. Hence the output can be considered
as a positive value.



CASE
III

If the core is turned in clockwise direction, the flux linking with winding S1
reduces, while that linked with winding S2 increases, hence producing an out
of phase output that is in the opposite direction that is a negative value.

Digital tachometers are usually non-contact instruments that sense the

passage of equally spaced marks on the surface of a rotating disc or shaft.
As each mark is sensed, a pulse is generated and input to an electronic
pulse counter. Instantaneous velocity can be calculated at each instant of
time that an output pulse occurs, using the scheme shown in Figure 3.7. In
this circuit, the pulses from the transducer gate the train of pulses from a
1 MHz clock into a counter. Control logic resets the counter and updates
the digital output value after receipt of each pulse from the transducer. The
measurement resolution of this system is highest when the speed of rotation
is low.

Digital tachometers with optical sensors are often known as optical

tachometers. Optical pulses can be generated by photoelectric techniques
Optical tachometers yield better accuracy than other forms of digital
tachometer but are not as reliable because dust and dirt can block light
paths.

Induction Tachometers
Induction tachometers are a form of digital tachometer that use inductive
sensing. They are widely used in the automotive industry within anti-skid
devices, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control.

the full magnetic field from the magnet passes through it. Later, as a tooth
approaches the sensor, the tooth diverts some of the magnetic field, and so
the field through the sensor is reduced. This causes the sensor to produce an
output voltage that is proportional to the rotational speed of the gear wheel.

Analogue tachometers are less accurate than digital tachometers but are
nevertheless still used successfully in many applications. The a.c. tachometer
has an output approximately proportional to rotational speed like, the d.c.
tachogenerator. Mechanical structure of an analogue tachometer takes the
form of a two-phase induction motor, with two stator windings and (usually)
a drag-cup rotor, as shown in Figure 3.7.

One of the stator windings is excited with an a.c. voltage and the
measurement signal is taken from the output voltage induced in the second
winding. The magnitude of this output voltage is zero when the rotor is
stationary, and otherwise proportional to the angular velocity of the rotor.
The direction of rotation is determined by the phase of the output voltage,
which switches by 180 as the direction reverses. Therefore, both the phase
and magnitude of the output voltage have to be measured.

Angular velocity measurements can be obtained by differentiating the output
signal from angular displacement transducers. Unfortunately, the process of

In measurement systems that already contain an angular acceleration
transducer, it is possible to obtain a velocity measurement by integrating
the acceleration measurement signal. This produces a signal of acceptable
quality, as the process of integration attenuates any measurement noise.

Measurement of vibration

Vibrations are very commonly encountered in machinery operation, and

therefore measurement of the accelerations associated with such vibrations is
extremely important in industrial environments. Vibrations normally consist
of linear harmonic motion that can be expressed mathematically as

X = X 0 sin (t)

where X is the displacement from the equilibrium position at any general

point in time, X 0 is the peak displacement from the equilibrium position, and
is the angular frequency of the oscillations. The velocity v of the vibrating
body can be obtained as

v = wX 0 cos (wt)

in
.
o

and expression for the acceleration can be given as

= w20 sin (wt)
It is apparent that the intensity of vibration can be measured in terms of
either displacement, velocity or acceleration. Acceleration is clearly the best
parameter to measure at high frequencies. However, because displacements
are large at low frequencies, it would seem that measuring either displacement
or velocity would be best at low frequencies. In next section, we will learn the
technique of vibration measurement.

A vibration measurement system requires other elements, as shown in Figure

3.8, to translate the accelerometer output into a recorded signal. The three
other necessary elements are
1. Signal-conditioning element: It amplifies the relatively weak output signal
from the accelerometer and also transforms the high output impedance
of the accelerometer to a lower impedance value.
2. Signal analyser: It converts the signal into the form required for
output. The output parameter may be either displacement, velocity or
acceleration and this may be expresses as either the peak value, r.m.s.
value or average absolute values.
3. Signal recorder: It must be chosen very carefully to avoid distortion of
the vibration waveform.

a housing that is attached to the accelerating, rotating body. Rotation of

Figure 3.10: Force Balance Type Seismic Device

These types of motion measuring devices are used in inertial navigation

systems. It is possible to get higher accuracy and increased stability as
effects like hysteresis, non-linearity, temperature effects, etc. associated with
mechanical springs are absent here.

Shock

.
o

Shock describes a type of motion where a moving body is brought suddenly

to rest, often because of a collision. This is very common in industrial
situations and usually involves a body being dropped and hitting the floor.
An instrument having a very high-frequency response is required for shock
measurement, and for this reason, piezoelectric crystal-based accelerometers
are commonly used.

Correct option is (C).
The setting of the gating period for this measurement is 10 4 s and this gives
a reading of 0030 on a four digit display. It is seen that out of four digit
places only two are utilized. For optimum setting of gating period, all the
four digits places should be utilized. This requires that the gating time be
increased by a factor 102 , i.e.

Optimum gating time setting = 10 4 # 102 = 106 s

Change in resistance of potentiometer from its normal position is

= 2500 1850 = 650
Hence, linear displacement is

y = 650 = 6.5 mm
100
Correct option is (D).
The resistance of the potentiometer at its normal position is

Resistance of potentiometer per unit length is

= 1000 = 200 /mm
50
For first case, change of resistance from its normal position is

= 5000 3850 = 1150
So, displacement of wiper from its normal position is

x = 1150 = 5.75 mm
200
For second case, change of resistance from its normal position is

= 7569 5000 = 2560
So, displacement of wiper from its normal position is

y = 2560 = 12.80 mm
200
Since, one of the displacements represent a decrease and other represents an
increase in resistance of potentiometer from its value at the normal position,
the two displacements are in the opposite direction.
