  2. Wattmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wattmeter

    A wattmeter reads the average value of the product v(t)i(t) = p(t), where v(t) is the voltage with positive reference polarity at the ± terminal with respect to the other terminal of the potential coil, and i(t) is the current with reference direction flowing into the ± terminal of the current coil.

    "Sq" current of one daytime vortex within the ionospheric dynamo region: 180 kA Typical current used in electric arc furnace for ferroalloys [11] 10 6: 1 MA High range of Birkeland current: 5 MA Flux tube between Jupiter and Io (moon) [12] 26 MA Sandia National Laboratories, Z machine approximate firing current [13] since 2007 256 MA

  4. 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 ...

  5. Megohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megohmmeter

    Megohmmeter M1101M. A Megohmmeter or insulation resistance tester, is a special type of ohmmeter used to measure the electrical resistance of insulators. [1] Insulating components, for example cable jackets, must be tested for their insulation strength at the time of commissioning and as part of maintenance of high voltage electrical equipment and installations.

  6. 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.

    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

  8. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...

  9. Rogowski coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogowski_coil

    A Rogowski coil is a toroid of wire used to measure an alternating current I(t) through a cable encircled by the toroid. The picture shows a Rogowski coil encircling a current-carrying cable. The output of the coil, v(t), is connected to a lossy integrator circuit to obtain a voltage V out (t) that is proportional to I(t).
