2.1 Basic Meter Movement

• The action of most commonly DC meter is based on the

fundamental principle of motor.

• The motor action is produced by the flow of a small current

through a moving coil which is positioned in the field of a

permanent magnet .

• The basic moving coil system is called “D‟ Arsonval meter”.

• The coil (rotor) moves in a rotary fashion. The amount of rotation

is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the coil.

• A pointer attached to the coil indicates the position of the coil on

a scale calibrated in terms of current or voltage.

2.2 Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC)

2.2.1 Principle Operation of PMMC Meter

• A coil is suspended in the magnetic field of a permanent

magnet in the shape of a horse-shoe.

• A spring is attached to the coil. The function of springs are

To make electrical connection to the coil

To return the coil to its original position when there is no

current through the coil

• The coil is suspended so it can rotate freely in the magnetic

field.

• When current flows in the coil, the developed of torque causes

the coil to rotate.

• The torque is counter-balanced by a mechanical torque of

control springs attached to the movable coil.

• The balance of torque is indicated by a pointer against a fixed

reference called a “scale”.

• The equation for the developed torque

τ = B x A x N x I

where

τ = torque (Nm)

B= flux density (Wb/m2)

A= coil area (m2)

N= no. of turns of wire coil

I = current in the coil (A)

2.2.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of PMMC

• Advantages.

Can be modified using shunts to cover a wide range of

current/voltage

No hysteresis lost

Cheap & robust

Low power consumption

Scale are uniform

• Disadvantages.

Can measure only dc current/voltage

Friction due to jewel pivot suspension

Some errors due to ageing of control springs & the

permanent magnet

2.3 DC Ammeter

2.3.1 Basic DC Ammeter

• Figure shows a basic DC ammeter

• Since the coil winding of a basic movement is small and light,

it can carry only small currents.

• When large currents are to be measured, it is necessary to

bypass a major part of the current through a resistance called s

shunt.

• The shunt resistance is parallel with the meter, so the voltage

drop across the shunt and meter are same.

2.3.2 Multirange Ammeter

• Multirange ammeter extends the current range by a number of

shunt

• Figure below shows a multirange ammeter with 4 shunts R1,

R2, R3 and R4 which are parallel to the meter to give 4

different current range.

• Switch S is made to protect the meter movement from damage

during range changing (make contact to next terminal before

breaking contact with previous terminal).

• A series type ohmmeter is a D‟Arsonval meter connected in

series with a resistance R1 and battery E.

• An unknown resistor Rx is connected across point AB.

2.6.2 Calibration of Series Type Ohmmeter

• To mark „0‟ reading.

Terminal AB is shorted (Rx = 0 Ω)

Maximum current flows in the circuit.

R2 is adjusted until the movement indicates fsd current ,

Ifsd.

The position of the pointer on the scale is marked 0 ohm.

• To mark „∞‟ reading.

Terminal AB is opened (Rx = ∞ Ω)

No current flows in the circuit & no deflection of the

pointer.

The position of the pointer on the scale is marked ∞ ohm.

• To mark other value reading.

Terminal AB is connected with different known value of

resistance.

The position of the pointer on the scale is marked with the

value of known resistor.

• Disadvantages.

Decrease the internal battery voltage, hence the fsd current

drops and meter does not read „0‟ when AB is shorted.

To overcome this problem, a zero adjust resistor can be

added in parallel to the meter to counteract the drop in the

voltage and bring back the pointer to „0‟.
