MeasuringWhy do engineering college labs use old MC and MI instruments? Why not
digital meters?

My counter argument:First of all , you cannot be remain outdated.Second thing is you measure only voltage/current/power with those instruments and hence there is no scope of learning lot from them .Just for the sake of academic purpose , one or two experiments can be done using such instruments.We are in age where things are shrinking.Hence there is no point in having bulky instruments anymore.

Disadvantages of Using Analog instruments:Less accuracyPoor resolutionCan be easily damaged if mishandledHigh costLarge sizeInternal impedance is low in case of voltmeter. For example , a (0-30V) MC voltmeter’s internal resistance is only 30kΩ which increases the chance of loading effect.

Advantages of using digital instruments
Highly accurateHigh resolutionLow costAuto-ranging feature in some multimetersSmaller sizeHigh internal impedance(commonly 1MΩ,occasionally 10M Ω and sometimes even 40MΩ)

ConnectingThe way we connect measuring
equipments,auxillary equipments,device or machine should change.

Connection designA voltmeter( preferably digital) can be permanently connected across R and Y(Both supply and machine)R and N(Both supply and machine)A1 and A2(+) and (-)
A ammeter can be connected with (+),R,A1,F1 terminals
The obvious reason is that it is frequently required to measure armature voltage , field current , line voltage , phase voltage , supply voltage

This would be better…

Advantage of this connection design
Time is savedMore complicated experiments can be carried outMonotonous connecting work is minimized and hence learning is enhanced

Power supplyWhy not use 100V or 120V AC and 100V DC
for experimental purposes?

Need for lower voltagesLower voltages are saferThe supply voltage in USA is 120V 60HzThe power supply is Japan is 100V(50Hz is Eastern Japan and 60Hz in Western Japan)If phase voltage is 115V,then line voltage is just 200V If supply voltages are lower,you can experiment more with less riskIf supply voltages are higher,the only less experimenting is possible

Miscellaneous(My crazy ideas.Not to be taken seriously)
How about working with smaller motors and generators like thisRated voltage: 115VRated current:2.5 APower: ½ HP…..We could save the scarce power like this!!!Starting and stopping the motor would be easy.
How about using power electronic devices to control voltage, current instead of old 3 point starter , autotransformer , rotor resistance starter??? jω©2013
