    ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION

    25-08-2020 Class Notes Assignment -1 [P.Praneshvar 2018104042]

    Example 1.1: A moving coil ammeter has a uniform scale with 50 divisions and
    gives a full-scale reading of 5A. The instrument can read upto Vth of a scale
    division with a fair degree of certainty .Determine the resolution of the
    instrument in mA.

    Solution:

    Full-scale reading =5A Number of divisions on scale=50

    1 scale division =5/50 =0.1A =100mA

    Resolution=1/4th of a scale division =100/4= 25mA

    Example 1.2: A 0-25A ammeter has a guaranteed accuracy of 1percent of full


    scale reading. The current measured by this instrument is 10A. Determine the
    limiting error in percentage.

    Solution:

    The magnitude of limiting error of the instrument,A= r*A= 0.01*25 =0.25A

    The magnitude of the current being measured is 10A. The relative error at this
    current is r=A/A =0.25/10 =0.025

    The current being measured is A=Am(1±r) = 10*(1±0.025) =10±0.25A

    The limiting error =(0.25/10)*100 =2.5%

    Example 1.3:The inductance of an inductor is specified as 20H± 5 percent by a


    manufacturer. Determine the limits of inductance between which it is
    guaranteed.

    Solution: Relative error, r =Percentage error/100 =5/100 =0.05

    Limiting value of inductance, A=Am±A =Am±r Am=Am (1±r) =20*(1±0.05)=20± 1 H


    Example 1.4: A 0-250V voltmeter has a guaranteed accuracy of 2% of full scale
    reading. The voltage measured by the voltmeter is 150 volts. Determine the
    limiting error in percentage.

    Solution:

    The magnitude of limiting error of the instrument, A= r*V= 0.02*250 = 5V

    The magnitude of the voltage being measured is 150 V.

    The percentage limiting error at this voltage =(5/150)*100% = 3.33%

    Example 1.5: The measured value of a resistance is 10.25 , whereas its value is
    10.22. Determine the absolute error of the measurement.

    Solution: Measured value, Am =10.25 ; True value, A =10.22

    Absolute error, A = Am -A = 10.25-10.22 = 0.03

    Example 1.6: The measured value of a capacitor is 205.3µF, whreras its true
    value is 201.4µF. Determine the relative error.

    Solution: Measured value, Am =205.3*10^-6 F ; True value, A = 201.4*10^-6 F

    Absolute error, 0 = Am -A = 205.3*[10^(-6)] F - 201.4*[10^(-6 )]F =3.9*[10^(-6)] F

    Relative error, r = 0 /A = 3.9*10^-6 /201.4*10^-6 =0.0194 or 19.4%

    Example 1.7: A wattmeter reads 25.34 watts. The absolute error in the
    measurement is -0.11 watt. Determine the true value of power.

    Solution: Measured value, Am = 25.34 W ; Absolute error, A= -0.11 W


    True value, A= Measured value – Absolute error =25.34-(-0.11) = 25.45 W
