MIST-ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS LAB MANUAL
Procedure:
Initial calibrations Fixing working current 1. Connect the battery, galvanometer in the kit as shown in the circuit diagram. 2. Put the switch ‘S’ in the standard cell position and connect the
standard cell to the standard knob. 3. Rotate the main dial and slide wire in order to get the same voltage of the
standard emf. 4. Now press the key and observe the galvanometer deflection. 5. If the galvanometer does not show the balance position, adjust the rheostat
and make it to read zero.
To find unknown emf: 1. Connect the unknown battery across the knob marked ‘X’ 2. Put the switch ‘S’ in the unknown emf position. 3. Adjust the main dial slide wire to get the null position in the
galvanometer. 4. The reading in the main dial and slide wire gives the voltage of the
unknown cell.
CALIBRATION OF AMMETER: 1. Made the connections as per the circuit diagram. 2. A standard resistance of suitable value and sufficient current
Carrying capacity is placed in series with the Ammeter under calibration.
3. The voltage across the standard resistance is measured with the help of potentiometer and the current through the standard resistance can be compound current I= Vs / S amps.
5. Since the resistance of standard resistor is accurately known and the voltage across the standard resistor is measured by a potentiometer, this method of calibrating an Ammeter is very accurate.
6. A calibration curve indicating the errors at various scale reading of the ammeter may be plotted
Page | 30
CALIBRATION OF VOLTMETER: 1. Made the connections as per the circuit diagram. 2. The first and foremost requirement in this calibration is that a Suitable
stable DC voltage supply is available since any changes in the supply voltage will cause a corresponding change in the voltmeter calibration.
3. The figure given is a potential divides, consisting of two rheostats, One or course and the other for fine control of calibrating voltage.
4. These controls are connected to the supply source and with the help Of these controls it is possible to adjust the voltage so that the pointer coincides exactly with a major division of the voltmeter.
7. The voltage across the voltmeter is stepped down to a value suitable for application to a potentiometer with the help of a volt- Ratio Box for accuracy of measurement, it is necessary to measure voltages near the maximum range of the potentiometer, as for as possible.
8. Thus the potentiometer has a maximum range of 1.6V. To achieve high accuracy we will have to use low voltage ranges for voltages less than 1.6V and use appropriate tapping’s on volts ratio box for voltages higher than 1.6V.
Precautions:
1. There should not be any loose connections. 2. Meter readings should not be exceeded beyond their
Ratings 3. Observe the ammeter reading. Apply the voltage slowly
So that the current is within the limited range of ammeters 4. Handle the Bridge carefully.

1. Connect the power supply chord at the rear panel to the 230V ,50Hz supply switch on the instrument by pressing down the toggle switch . the display glow to indicate the instrument is ON.\
2. Allow the instrument in ON position for 10 minutes for intial ware-up. 3. Rotate the micrometer till reads 20.0. 4. Adjust the CAL potentiometer at the front panel so that the display reads 10.0. 5. Rotates the core of micrometer till micrometer reads 10.0 and adjust the ZERO
potentiometer till the display reads 00.0. 6. Rotates back the micrometer core upto 20.0 and adjust once again CAL
potentiometer till the display reads 10.0 . Now the instrument is calibrated for +/-10.0mm range. As the core of LVDT moves the display reads the displacement in mm.

17..MEASUREMENT OF EARTH RESISTANCE
Aim : Electrical equipment at all voltage levels must be earthed i.e. connected directly to an electrodedriven or buried in the ground. The resistance between the earth electrodes is critical to the safety of equipment and personnel. Usually it must be less than 100 ohms. This is not always possible because of the high resistivity of some earthy materials. Measuring the earth resistanceis to be done the fall-of-potential method EQUIPMENT and PARTS LIST: 1.Digital earth resistance tester . 2.Earthing rods. 3.Auxiliary earth associated with tester 4.Cables associated with tester

Page | 63
PROCEDURE:
1.For each earthling electrodes perform the following: 2.Fit an existing earth electrode into the ground to be measured 3.Connect the earth to be measured X and auxiliary earth Y and Z to the corresponding terminalsof the tester. 4.Select rang of ohm as appropriate. 5.On the power of the tester. 6.For each distance between Y and X, press the push button control, read the displayed resistanceand then turn off the tester. 7.Tabulate the resistance values as shown in table 1 8. Note: All distance should be taken in straight line direction. 9.Joint the two earthling electrodes and then repeat the procedures. 10.Plot the results of on an graph paper.

18.Measurment of insulation resistance Aim:-Measurment of insulation resistance EQUIPMENT and PARTS LIST: 1.Digital insulation resistance tester . 2.Cables associated with tester Procedure:-:-
1.You have seen that good insulation has high resistance; poor insulation, relatively low
resistance. The actual resistance value
2.s can be higher or lower, depending upon such factors as the temperature or moisture
content of the insulation (resistance decreases in temperature or moisture). With a little record-
keeping and common sense, however, you can get a good picture of the insulation condition
from values that are only relative.
3.The Megger insulation tester such as a Megger or a small, portable instrument that gives you
a direct reading of insulation resistance in ohms or megohms. For good insulation, the
resistance usually reads in the megohm range.
4.The Megger insulation tester is essentially a high-range resistance meter (ohmmeter) with a
built-in direct-current generator. This meter is of special construction with both current and
voltage coils, enabling true ohms to be read directly, independent of the actual voltage applied.
This method is nondestructive; that is, it does not cause deterioration of the insulation.
5.The generator can be hand-cranked or line-operated to develop a high DC voltage which
causes a small current through and over surfaces of the insulation being tested
Page | 65
6.. This current (usually at an applied voltage of 500 volts or more) is measured by the
ohmmeter .
7.which has an indicating scale. typical scale, which reads increasing resistance values from
left up to infinity, or a resistance too high to be measured.
