Course Objectives:
- To develop measurement systems for various electrical circuits.
- To develop measurement systems for various renewable systems.
Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course student will be able to:
- Identify standard tests for measurement of resistance.
- Choose various methods for measuring electric power and energy.
- Apply standard calibration procedures to examine accuracy of electrical meters.
- Identify the experimental procedures for the measurement of solar radiation and wind energy.
Module 1:
- Sketch the front panel of various electrical measuring instruments- Ammeters (MC&MC) ,Voltmeters (MC&MC), Wattmeter and Energy meter
- Develop circuits to measure low and medium resistance using the voltmeter-ammeter method.
- Apply Kelvin’s double bridge method for the measurement of low resistance.
- Apply Wheatstone’s bridge method for the measurement of medium resistance.
Module 2:
- Select wattmeter to measure power consumption of a given load.
- Choose single phase induction type and digital energy meters to measure energy consumption of a given load.
- Develop a circuit arrangement to measure three phase power and power factor using 2 wattmeter method.
Module 3:
- Develop a circuit to calibrate wattmeter at UPF by direct loading.
- Develop a circuit to calibrate single phase Energy Meter at UPF by direct loading.
- Develop a circuit to calibrate single phase Energy Meter at UPF by phantom loading.
Module 4:
- Utilize pyranometer, solarimeter, Pyrheliometer and sunshine recorder for measuring Solar radiation.
- Experiment with digital anemometer & cup anemometer to measure wind speed.
- Develop a circuit to plot the V-I characteristics of a solar cell.
- Develop a circuit to plot the V-I characteristics of solar cells in series and in parallel combinations

Student Activity
Suggested Open-ended Experiments:
Students can do open ended experiments as a group of 3-5. There is no duplication in experiments in between groups. This is mainly for the purpose of continuous internal evaluation. Students should prepare a separate report on an open ended experiment of their choice.
- Example 1: Calibrate instruments in the laboratory and prepare error charts.
- Example 2: Calibrate Wattmeter/ Energy meter at 0.5 pf lag/lead, 0.866 pf lag/lead by phantom loading.
- Example 3: Conduct an experiment to measure the efficiency of solar cell and check the effect of wavelength and angle on efficiency.
