Measurements
Measurement is essentially the act, or the result, of a quantitative comparison
between a given quantity and a quantity of the same kind chosen as a unit.
The physical embodiment of the unit of measurement is called astandard.
The device used for com arin the unknown uantit with the unit of
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 20132
measurement or a standard quantity is called ameasuring instrument.
As a fundamental principle of science, Lord Kelvin statedWhen you can measure what you are speaking about and express them annumbers, you know something about it and when you cannot measure it or where
you cannot express in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactorykind. It may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thought
advanced to the stage of science.

Primary Sensing Element
Measurand,the physical quantity under measurement, makes its first contact withtheprimary sensing elementof a measuring system.Good instruments are designed to minimise the disturbance by the act ofmeasurement.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 20134
The transducer is defined as a device, which when actuated by one form ofenergy, is capable of converting it into another form of energy.Certain operations are to be performed on the signal so that the signal may not getdistorted.
The process may be linear such as amplification, attenuation, integration,differentiation, addition and subtraction or non-linear such as modulation,detection, sampling, filtering, chopping and clipping etc.
The process is called thesignal conditioning.So signal conditioner follows the
primary sensing element or transducer.

Methods of Measurements
The methods of measurements may be broadly classified into two categories
direct methodsandindirect methods (directorindirect measurement)
Indirect measurementmethods the unknown quantity is measured directly suchas measurement of current by an ammeter, voltage by voltmeter, resistance by

In indirect measurement methods the unknown quantity is determined bymeasuring other functionally related quantities and calculating the desired quantityrather than measuring it directly such as resistance of a conductor may be
determined by measuring voltage across the conductor, V and current flowingthrough the conductor, I and then calculating it by Ohm's lawi.e.,R=V/I.

Comparison methods include the null method, differential method and other
methods.
In null method of measurement the action of the unknown quantity upon theinstrument is reduced to zero, such as measurement of weight by a balance,

Electronic Instruments
Electronic instruments make use of semiconductor devices.
The response time of such instruments is extremely small as the movementinvolved in electronic devices is only that of electrons and electrons have very

small inertia.
Electronic instruments are gradually becoming more reliable due to improvementsin design and manufacturing processes of semi-conductor devices.
Another advantage of electronic devices is that very weak signals can be detectedby employing pre-amplifiers and amplifiers.
Electronic instruments are light, compact and have a high degree of reliability.
Their power consumption is very small.

Dynamic Characteristics
On application of an input to an instrument or measuring system, it cannot attainits final steady-state position instantaneously.
The fact is that the measurement system passes through atransient statebefore itreaches its final steady-state position.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201334
Some measurements re carried out in such conditions that allow sufficient time forthe instrument or measurement system to settle to its final steady state position.
Under such circumstances the study of behaviour of the system under transientstate, known astransient responseis not of much importance; onlysteady-state
responseis to be considered.
On the other hand, in many measurement systems it becomes imperative to studythe system response under both transient-as well as steady-state conditions.

In many cases the transient response of the system is more important than itssteady-state response.

the system.
The system exhibits a characteristic sluggishness due to the presence of theseelements.
In measurement systems having inputs dynamic in nature, the input varies frominstant to instant, so does the output.
The behaviour of the system under such conditions is dealt by the dynamicresponseof the system, and its characteristics are given below in brief.

In the definition of fidelity any time lag or phase difference is not included.

5- Measuring LAG.It is defined as the delay in the response of an instrument to a change in themeasurand. This lag is usually quite small but it becomes quite significant wherehigh speed measurements are required.
Measurement lag is of two types. In retardation type, the response of theinstrument begins immediately after a change in the measurand has occurred.
Intime delay type,the response of the system begins after adelay timeafter theapplication of the input.

Loading Effect
The ideal situation in a measurement system is that when on introducing an
element, used for any purpose into the system, the original signal remainsundisturbed.
However, in practical conditions it has been found that when an element is

and, therefore, original signal is distorted.
Such distortion may take the form of attenuation (reduction in magnitude),waveform distortion, phase shift and many a time all these undesirable featuresput together.
Thus ideal measurement is not practicable. This is known as theloading effect.

While the first stage detector-transducer loads the input signal, the second stageloads the first stage and finally the third stage loads the second one.
In fact, the loading problem may be carried right-down to the basic elementsthemselves.

However, the load impedance is not infinite and therefore when a voltmeter withan input impedance ZL is connected across terminals A and B, it draws somecurrent, say IL amperes.

This causes a voltage drop of ILZ0across the output impedance of the source.

Ratio of actual voltage appearing across the load to the voltage under open-circuited conditions (ideal in this case) is given as

Thus the voltage, which is measured, is modified both in phase and magnitude.
This means that the original voltage signal is distorted due to connection ofmeasuring device across it.

It is obvious that in order to keep original signal E0undistorted:
the value of the instrument input impedance ZLshould be infinite, or
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201343
the value of output impedance of the source, Z0
should be equal to zero which
cannot be attained in practice.
So to have distortion, as small as possible, the input impedance of-the instrument(ZL) should be very large in comparison with source output impedance (Z0).
Since Z0 and ZL depend upon the frequency, the indicated voltage value willdepend upon the frequency of operation.

Due to input capacitance effects of the instrument, the value of input impedance ZLbecomes low at high frequencies with the result that the input signal issubstantially distorted at high frequencies.

Thus not only the magnitude of input signal is affected but also its phase at highfrequencies.

Nature Of Units
In engineering, quantities of different kinds are involved, including physical,
chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical and physiological ones.In order to record or to compare magnitude of quantities, some one magnitude ofeach kind must be taken as basis or unit.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201349
Each unit, either must be represented by a physical standard of some kind, natural
or artificial or must be derived from a combination of other units represented bysuch standards.
So the number of times the unit occurs in any given amount of same quantity isthe number of measure.
For example when it is said that length A is 5 metres, it indicates that the metre isthe unit of length and that the number of units of length is five.
So the physical quantity, length is defined by the unit metre. Without unit, thenumber of measure has no physical meaning

Measure of certain physical quantities in the thermal, electrical, and illuminationscience are also represented by fundamental units and these are used only whenthese particular physical quantities are involved and so these units are called
auxiliary fundamental units.

Systems Of Electrical Units
Whereas, three basic concepts and three fundamental units are sufficient for
description and measurement in mechanical science, experience shows that, inelectrical science, four concepts or dimensions and four arbitrarily definedfundamental units are necessary to obtain a complete system of dimensions andunits.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201352
At least one of these four units must be electrical in character.
the various electrical unit systems used are:1. The CGS Electrostatic System of Units (CGS ESU).2. The CGS Electromagnetic System of Units (CGS EMU).
3. The Practical System of Units.4. The MKS System of Units5. Rationalized MRS System of Units6. The Rationalized MKSA System of Units

1- The CGS Electrostatic System of Units (CGS ESU).
It is an absolute system based on the centimetre, gram and second as the
fundamental mechanical units and permittivity () of the media as fourthfundamental unit.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201353
The unit of permittivity () is of such a size that the measure number of permittivityfor free space is unity,i.e.0= 1.
These units are commonly designated by using the prefixstatwith the name ofcorresponding practical unitse.g. statvolt.

2- The CGS Electromagnetic System of Units (CGS EMU).
It is another absolute system based on the centimetre, gram and second as thefundamental mechanical units and permeability () of the media as fourthfundamental unit.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201354
The unit of permeability is of such a size that the measure number of permeability
for free space is unityi.e.0=1.
These units are commonly designated by using ab with the name of thecorresponding practical unitse.g. abvolts.
The electro magnetic system is more convenient from the point of view of mostelectrical measurements, and is, therefore, much more generally used than theelectrostatic system .

3- The Practical System of Units.
Since neither CGS electrostatic units nor CGS electromagnetic units were ofconvenient size for the purpose of practical work, a practical system of units inwhich unit current (ampere) = 1/10 cgs emu of current and unit of potential
= 8

.
Though the practical system is sufficiently extensive to deal with the vastproportion of every day calculations of electrical engineering, but it has gotfollowing defficiencies:(i) The absence of recognised units for magnetic and electrostatic relations,
therefore, some or all the magnetic units used to be expressed in cgs emusystem.
(ii) The practical units are related by conversion factors to those systems of units(cgs esu and cgs emu) in which theoretical relations of the science have beencommonly developed in the past.

4- The MKS System of Units
It is an absolute system based on the metre, kg and second as fundamentalmechanical units and permeability of the media as fourth unit.
The unit of ermeabilit is of such a size that measure number of ermeabilit for
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201356
free space is 10-7.
Its great advantage is that its units are identical with those of practical system andare the same whether built up from the electromagnetic or electrostatic theory.
The value of permittivity for free space, 0in mks system can be determined from
the relation

5- Rationalized MKS System of Units
The above unrationalized system has been further rationalized by assigningdifferent values to r0and e0. Rationalization means the removal of quantity it from
the places, where its appearance is unnatural, irrational and geometrically
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201357
.
By doing so, most of the equations and formulas in electrical engineering havebecome simple and logical.
In RMKS system, the permeability of free space, 0 = 4x10-7 H/metre and
permittivity of free space 0= 8.854 x 10-12 F/metre. The change in the values of
0and 0does not change the values of electrical units but does change the unitsof mmf, magnetizing force etc.
It was Prof. G. Giorgi, who first of all, suggested this system in 1901. After thename of Prof. Giorgi, it is also known asGiorgi system of units.

The important characteristics of the system are given below:1- A single set of units covers all electrical and magnetic quantities and is
applicable to both electromagnetic and electrostatic effects.

4- In cgs systems, the numerical values of magnetizing force H and flux density Bare equal in vacuum, but in rmks system the values of B and H in vacuum are
not equal but are linked through a constant0. B=0Hwhere 0 is named as permeability of free space and its value has beenapparently chosen as 4x 10-7
In magnetic materials B = 0rH, where ris the relative permeability of thematerial and is equal to permeability value in cgs system.

5- Rationalized MKS System of Units
The important characteristics of the system are given below:5- Similarly in a dielectric flux density, D = o rE (field strength) where oand r
are the permittivity of free space and relative permittivity of the medium.
Ebrahim A. Badran Spring 201359
6- The relation ( ) = velocity of light holds good numerically as well as
dimensionally.
Since these properties (permeability and permittivity of free space) althougheminently suitable as physical reference standards, are less easilycomprehended than such concept as ampere, charge, potential difference or
resistance, therefore, it has been agreed to make, ampere defined from itsmagnetic effect as fourth fundamental quantity and the system developed soi.e. employing metre, kilogram, second and ampere as fundamental units iscalled as RMKSA system

(vi) Candela. The candela is the luminous intensity in the perpendicular direction,
of a surface of 1/600 000 square metre of a black body at the temperature offreezing platinum under standard atmosphere pressure.
(vii) Mole. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains asmany elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg carbon 12.
When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may beatoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of suchparticles
