Schematic representation of measurement categories. Measurement category is a method of classification by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) [1] of live electric circuits used in measurement and testing of installations and equipment, usually in the relation within a building (residential or industrial).
A typical residential water meter A typical residential digital electric submeter Before submetering, many landlords either included the utility cost in the bulk price of the rent or lease , or divided the utility usage among the tenants in some way such as equally, by square footage via allocation methods often called RUBS (Ratio Utility ...
In electrical engineering, characteristics like current or voltage can be measured by an ammeter, a voltmeter, a multimeter, etc. The ammeter is used in series with the load, so the same current flows through the load and the ammeter.
High-precision laboratory measurements of electrical quantities are used in experiments to determine fundamental physical properties such as the charge of the electron or the speed of light, and in the definition of the units for electrical measurements, with precision in some cases on the order of a few parts per million. Less precise ...
This would be considered a type of fixed network system—the network being the distribution network which the utility has built and maintains to deliver electric power. Such systems are primarily used for electric meter reading. Some providers have interfaced gas and water meters to feed into a PLC type system.
Below is the list of measuring instruments used in electrical and electronic work. Name Purpose Ammeter (Ampermeter) Measures current Capacitance meter:
A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A typical multimeter can measure voltage , resistance , and current , [ 4 ] in which case can be used as a voltmeter , ohmmeter , and ammeter .
σ T is the electrical conductivity at the temperature T, σ T cal is the electrical conductivity at the calibration temperature T cal, α is the temperature compensation gradient of the solution. The temperature compensation gradient for most naturally occurring samples of water is about 2%/°C; however it can range between 1 and 3%/°C.
