Unit 2 ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS

Induction type energy meters-megger (Basic construction & principles


of operation only). – Single phase and three phase wattmeter for
power measurement – Measurement of energy- speed- frequency and
phase difference – Measurement of resistance- inductance and
capacitance by Bridge method – Magnetic measurement.
Induction Type Meters
The principle of working and construction of induction type meter is very
simple and easy to understand that’s why these are widely used in measuring
energy in domestic as well as industrial world.
In all induction meters we have two fluxes which are produced by two
different alternating currents on a metallic disc.
Due to alternating fluxes there is an induced emf, the emf produced at
point P1 interacts with the alternating current I2 of the other side resulting in
the production of torque.
Similarly, the emf produced at the point P2 interacts with the
alternating current I1 at point one, resulting in the production of
torque again but in opposite direction. Hence due to these two torques
which are in different directions, the metallic disc moves.
Now there are two types of induction meters and they are
written as follows:
 Single phase type
 Three phase type induction meters.
Single phase induction type meter
Single phase induction type energy meter consists of four important
systems which are written as follows:

Driving System:
Driving system consists of two electromagnets on which pressure coil
and current coils are wounded, as shown above in the diagram. The coil which
consisted of load current is called current coil while coil which is in parallel with
the supply voltage (i.e. voltage across the coil is same as the supply voltage) is
called pressure coil. Shading bands are wounded on as shown above in the
diagram so as to make angle between the flux and and applied voltage equal to
90 degrees.
Moving System:
In order to reduce friction to greater extent floating shaft energy meter is
used, the friction is reduced to greater extinct because the rotating disc which is
made up of very light material like aluminium is not in contact with any of the
surface. It floats in the air.
One question must be arise in our mind is that how the aluminium disc
float in the air?
To answer this question we need to see the constructional details of this
special disc, actually it consists of small magnets on both upper and lower
surfaces. The upper magnet is attracted to an electromagnet in upper bearing
while the lower surface magnet also attracts towards the lower bearing magnet,
hence due to these opposite forces the light rotating aluminium disc floats.
Braking System:
A permanent magnet is used to produce breaking torque in
single phase induction energy meters which are positioned near the
corner of the aluminium disc.
Counting System:
Numbers marked on the meter are proportion to the revolutions
made by the aluminium disc, the main function of this system is to
record the number of revolutions made by the aluminium disc. Now let
us look at the working operation of the single phase induction meter.
In order to understand the working of this meter let us consider the
