The detailed syllabus for Electrical Measurements & Instrumentation B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year first sem is as follows.

B.Tech. III Year I Sem.       L/T/P/C
Course Code:EE501PC         4/1/0/4
Pre-requisite: Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Network theory & Electromagnetic fields.

Course objectives:

1. To introduce the basic principles of all measuring instruments
2. To deal with the measurement of voltage, current, Power factor, power, energy and magnetic measurements.

Course Outcomes: After completion of this course, the student

• Understand different types of measuring instruments, their construction, operation and characteristics
• Identify the instruments suitable for typical measurements
• Apply the knowledge about transducers and instrument transformers to use them effectively.

UNIT- I: Introduction to Measuring Instruments: Classification – deflecting, control and damping torques – Ammeters and Voltmeters – PMMC, moving iron type instruments – expression for
the deflecting torque and control torque – Errors and compensations, extension of range using shunts and series resistance. Electrostatic Voltmeters-electrometer type and attracted disc type – extension of range of E.S. Voltmeters.

UNIT– II: Potentiometers & Instrument transformers: Principle and operation of D.C. Crompton’s potentiometer – standardization – Measurement of unknown resistance, current, voltage. A.C. Potentiometers: polar and coordinate type’s standardization – applications. CT and PT – Ratio and phase angle errors

UNIT –III: Measurement of Power & Energy: Single phase dynamometer wattmeter, LPF and UPF, Double element and three element dynamometer wattmeter, expression for deflecting and
control torques – Extension of range of wattmeter using instrument transformers – Measurement of active and reactive powers in balanced and unbalanced systems. Single phase induction type energy meter – driving and braking torques – errors and compensations – testing by phantom loading using R.S.S. meter. Three phase energy meter – tri-vector meter, maximum demand meters.
