Assignment I

1. The control spring of an instrument has the following dimensions:


Length of the strip = 370 mm; thickness of strip = 0.073 mm; width of strip = 0.51 mm.
The Young’s modulus is 112.8 GN/m2. Estimate the torque exerted by the spring when
it is turned through 900.
2. A permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC) instrument has a full scale deflection of 900
for a current of 2 A. The deflecting torque in a PMMC ammeter is directly proportional
to current in the moving coil. Find the value of current required for a deflection of 300
if the instrument is (i) spring controlled, (ii) gravity controlled.
3. A moving coil voltmeter with a resistance of 20 Ω gives a full scale deflection of 1200
when a potential difference of 100 mV is applied across it. The moving coil has
dimensions of 30 mm x 25 mm and is wound with 100 turns. The control spring constant
is 0.0375 x 10-6 Nm/deg. Find the flux density in the air gap. Find also the diameter of
copper wire of coil winding if 30 percent of instrument resistance is due to coil winding.
The specific resistance for copper = 1.7 x 10-8 Ωm.
4. A moving coil ammeter has a fixed shunt of 0.02 Ω. With a coil resistance of R = 1200
Ω and a potential difference of 500 mV across it, full scale deflection is obtained:
(a) To what shunted current does this correspond?
(b) Calculate the value of R to give full scale deflection when shunted current I is
(i) 10 A,
(ii) 75 A, and
(c) With what value of R is 40% deflection obtained with I = 100 A?
5. The inductance of a MI type ammeter with a full scale deflection of 900 at 1.5 A is given
by the expression 𝐿 = (200 + 40𝜃 − 4𝜃 2 − 𝜃 3 )μH, where 𝜃 is the deflection in radian
from the zero position. Estimate the angular deflection of the pointer for a current of 1
A.
6. The coil of a 300 V moving iron voltmeter has a resistance of 500 Ω and an inductance
of 0.8 H. The instrument reads correctly at 50 Hz a.c. supply and takes 100 mA at full
scale deflection.
What is the percentage error in the instrument reading when it is connected to 200 V
d.c. supply.
7. For a certain dynamometer type ammeter the mutual inductance M varies with
deflection 𝜃 (expressed in degrees) as
𝑀 = −6 cos(𝜃 + 300 ) mH
Find the deflecting torque produced by a direct current of 50 mA corresponding to a
deflection of 600.
8. A wattmeter has a current coil of 0.03 Ω resistance and a pressure coil of 6000 Ω
resistance. Calculate the percentage error if the wattmeter is so connected that:
(a) the current coil is on the load side,
(b) the pressure coil is on the load side
(i) if the load takes 20 A at a voltage of 220 V and 0.6 power factor in each case.
(ii) What load current would give equal errors with the two connections?
9. A wattmeter is rated at 10 A and 25 V. The current coil has a resistance of 0.06 Ω and
a reactance of 0.02 Ω. The potential coil circuit may be assumed to be purely resistive
having a resistance of 6250 Ω. Find the error due to the two different connections i.e.
CC at the load side and PC at the load side. The load is 10 A at a power factor of 0.174
lagging. The voltage across the load is 25 V.
10. Write short notes on the following aligned to wattmeter:
(a) Pressure coil inductance
(b) Errors caused due to connections
