  2. Wattmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattmeter

    The traditional analog wattmeter is an electrodynamic instrument. The device consists of a pair of fixed coils, known as current coils, and a movable coil known as the potential coil. The current coils are connected in series with the circuit, while the potential coil is connected in parallel.

  3. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    The current value may be directly displayed by an instrument, or converted to digital form for use by a monitoring or control system. Current sensing techniques include shunt resistor, current transformers and Rogowski coils, magnetic-field based transducers and others.

    A coil intended for connection to a polyphase power supply. polyphase system An alternating current power transmission system using three or more wires, each of which carries a current that is displaced in time with respect to the others. Pontryagin's minimum principle A mathematical principle used in the theory of optimal control. port

  7. Blondel's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blondel's_theorem

    The 2S meter includes one potential measuring device (a coil or a voltmeter) and two current measuring devices. The current measuring devices provide a measurement equal to one half of the actual current value. The combination of a single potential coil and two so called half coils provides highly accurate metering under most conditions.

    Ammeter and Voltmeter on a power supply. Electrical measurements are the methods, devices and calculations used to measure electrical quantities. Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system.

  9. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    The meter comprised a moving coil meter, voltage and precision resistors, and switches and sockets to select the range. The first Avometer had a sensitivity of 60 Ω/V, three direct current ranges (12 mA, 1.2 A, and 12 A), three direct voltage ranges (12, 120, and 600 V or optionally 1,200 V), and a 10,000 Ω resistance range. An improved ...
