MEASURING DEVICES

Ammeters and Voltmeters. Ammeters measure the current flowing in a circuit and normally have scales, which are graduated or calibrated in amperes, milliamperes or microamperes. Voltmeters are used to measure the potential difference between two points in a circuit. The calibration of voltmeters is usually in volts, millivolts, or microvolts. The main difference between the two instruments of the same type or design is in the resistance of the operating coil; identical moving units may be used for either meter. An ammeter is connected in the positive or negative lead in series with a circuit and, therefore, must have a low resistance coil; otherwise the readings would be incorrect, as the coil would absorb an appreciable amount of power. A voltmeter is connected in parallel across the points of a circuit where the difference of potential is to be measured. The resistance of the operating coil must, in this instance, be as high as possible, to limit the amount of current consumed by it, or else a drop in potential due to the meter would occur and the pointer indication would not represent the true potential difference across the circuit. Wattmeters. The measurement of the power in a D. С circuit at any instant can be achieved by means of an ammeter and voltmeter, as the power in watts is the product of the current and the voltage. With A. С circuits, however, the instantaneous values are always changing. To measure A. C. power correctly,therefore, it is necessary to use the third instrument to measure the phase difference. The normal practice, however, is to combine these three instruments in one which will give a direct reading of power in watts. The most commonly used apparatus for measuring insulation resistance is the megohmmeter or "megger". The device is easy to handle. It consists of a hand-driven generator in a permanent magnet frame, which causes a moving coil to register the insulation resistance in ohms or megohms, the amount of which is indicated by a pointer. The "megger" is also used for continuity, ground, and shot-circuit testing in general electrical power work.
