2.1 Basic Meter Movement
• The action of most commonly DC meter is based on the
fundamental principle of motor.
• The motor action is produced by the flow of a small current
through a moving coil which is positioned in the field of a
permanent magnet .
• The basic moving coil system is called “D‟ Arsonval meter”.
• The coil (rotor) moves in a rotary fashion. The amount of rotation
is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the coil.
• A pointer attached to the coil indicates the position of the coil on
a scale calibrated in terms of current or voltage.

2.2 Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC)
2.2.1 Principle Operation of PMMC Meter
• A coil is suspended in the magnetic field of a permanent
magnet in the shape of a horse-shoe.
• A spring is attached to the coil. The function of springs are
To make electrical connection to the coil
To return the coil to its original position when there is no
current through the coil
• The coil is suspended so it can rotate freely in the magnetic
field.
• When current flows in the coil, the developed of torque causes
the coil to rotate.
• The torque is counter-balanced by a mechanical torque of
control springs attached to the movable coil.

• The balance of torque is indicated by a pointer against a fixed
reference called a “scale”.
• The equation for the developed torque
τ = B x A x N x I
where
τ = torque (Nm)
B= flux density (Wb/m2)
A= coil area (m2)
N= no. of turns of wire coil
I = current in the coil (A)

2.2.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of PMMC
• Advantages.
Can be modified using shunts to cover a wide range of
current/voltage
No hysteresis lost
Cheap & robust
Low power consumption
Scale are uniform
• Disadvantages.
Can measure only dc current/voltage
Friction due to jewel pivot suspension
Some errors due to ageing of control springs & the
permanent magnet

2.3 DC Ammeter
2.3.1 Basic DC Ammeter
• Figure shows a basic DC ammeter
• Since the coil winding of a basic movement is small and light,
it can carry only small currents.
• When large currents are to be measured, it is necessary to
bypass a major part of the current through a resistance called s
shunt.
• The shunt resistance is parallel with the meter, so the voltage
drop across the shunt and meter are same.

2.3.2 Multirange Ammeter
• Multirange ammeter extends the current range by a number of
shunt
• Figure below shows a multirange ammeter with 4 shunts R1,
R2, R3 and R4 which are parallel to the meter to give 4
different current range.
• Switch S is made to protect the meter movement from damage
during range changing (make contact to next terminal before
breaking contact with previous terminal).

2.4.3 Loading Effects
• A voltmeter when connected across two points in a highly
resistive circuits, act as shunt for that portion, reducing the
total equivalent resistive of that portion.
• The meter indicates a lower reading than what existed before
the meter connected.
• This phenomena called loading effect.

Quiz 2.1
An AC voltmeter is to be used to measure the voltage across 20 kΩ as
shown in figure below. If the voltmeter uses half wave
rectification and 200 μA d‟Arsonval meter movement se on its 20
V range with an internal resistance of 1.5 kΩ. Identify
i) Reading of the voltmeter
ii) If the loading effect will be reduced by using full wave
rectification for the same d‟Arsonval meter movement.

2.6 Ohmmeter (series type ohmmeter)
2.6.1 Basic Ohmmeter
• A series type ohmmeter is a D‟Arsonval meter connected in
series with a resistance R1 and battery E.
• An unknown resistor Rx is connected across point AB.
• The current flow through the movement meter depends on the
magnitude of the Rx.

2.6.2 Calibration of Series Type Ohmmeter
• To mark „0‟ reading.
Terminal AB is shorted (Rx = 0 Ω)
Maximum current flows in the circuit.
R2 is adjusted until the movement indicates fsd current ,
Ifsd.
The position of the pointer on the scale is marked 0 ohm.
• To mark „∞‟ reading.
Terminal AB is opened (Rx = ∞ Ω)
No current flows in the circuit & no deflection of the
pointer.
The position of the pointer on the scale is marked ∞ ohm.

• To mark other value reading.
Terminal AB is connected with different known value of
resistance.
The position of the pointer on the scale is marked with the
value of known resistor.
• Disadvantages.
Decrease the internal battery voltage, hence the fsd current
drops and meter does not read „0‟ when AB is shorted.
To overcome this problem, a zero adjust resistor can be
added in parallel to the meter to counteract the drop in the
voltage and bring back the pointer to „0‟.
