ELECTRIC TRANSDUCER

The art of electric measurmentas been chiefly used for measurment of electric quantities its
value in making measurment of non electric quantities in this new area of automation in
rapidly growing. in order to measure non-electric quantities a detector is used which usually
converts the physical quantities into displacement. this displacement actuates an electric
transducer, which acting a secondly transducer gives an output that is electric in nature. the
electric quantity so produce is measured by standard methods used for electric
measurments. the result gives the magnitude of physical qor condition being measured
quantity.
The electric signal may be a current or a vol tage or a frequency and production of these
signal is based upon electrical effect which may be resistive, capacitive, conductive etc in
nature.
The first stage of measurment system may simply be called a transducer stage instead of
detector transducer stage by redefining a transduer. A transducer in general form may be
defined as a device which converts energy from one form to another form. However this
definition restricted, many a time especiallly in the field of electrical instrumentation.
Keeping this restriction in view, a transducer may be defined as a device which converts a
physical quantity or physical condition into electrial signal. Another name for a transducer is
pickup.

 
Advantage of electrical transducer
The advantsge of converting physical quantity into analogous electric
quantity are:-

1. Electrical amplification and attenuation can be done easily and that too
with static device.

2.The effect of friction is minimised.

3. The electric or electronic system can be controlled with a very small


electrical power.

4. The electric power can be easily used, transmited & process for the
purpose of measurment.
The advantage of these over another transducers are:-
• More compact instrumentation.
• Good frequency and transient and recording.
• Feasibility of remote indication and recording.
• Possibility of mathematical processing of signals
like summation, integration.
• Minimum of friction and mass inertia effects.
• Possibility of non-compact measurments.
• Less power consumption and less leading on
system to be measured.
• Amplification greater than that of produced by
mechanical contrivance.
