Electrical Measurements and Measuring Instruments

0.0

Electrical Measurements And Measuring Instruments seeks to meet the curriculum requirements of the students of Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering courses. The use of MKS system of Units has been made in the contents. The contents commence with the fundamentals and explain Electrostatic and Electromagnetic Theory and Unit Dimensions and Standards. Further, the Circuit Analysis, Capacitors, Capacitance, and Dielectrics and Inductance have been elaborated upon. The topics on Measurements commence with the measurement of Inductance, Capacitance and Resistance. The working of Potentiometers has been covered in a separate chapter. Magnetic Measurement, Illumination, High-Voltage Measurements and Testing have been explained in the subsequent chapters. Topics that pertain to electrical Engineering such as Localization of Cable Faults, Electrical Methods of Measuring Temperature, and Eddy Currents are discussed in the later chapters. Wave-Forms and Their Determination, Transient Phenomena, Measuring Instruments and Ammeters and Voltmeters are explained in separate chapters. The topics in the concluding chapters are Extension of Instrument Range, The Measurement of Power, The measurement of Energy, Measurement of Speed, Frequency, and Phase Difference and Electronics, and Electronic Measuring Devices.
