How voltmeter and ammeter work Measuring Voltage Measuring the voltage between two points of an electrical current can be done with an instrument called a voltmeter. One type of voltmeter is a direct-current voltmeter. When taking a voltage reading the instrument is placed across the portion of the circuit that is to be measured. Direct-Current Voltmeter The direct-current voltmeter has a horseshoe shaped magnet‚ with a semicircular piece of soft iron attached to each end of the magnet. The iron

A.C current meters Introduction An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A)‚ hence the name. Neither type of basic dc PMMC meter movement will correctly indicate an alternating current. There are‚ however‚ four basic types of meter movement that will indicate ac values:- Thermocouple Hot wire Electrodynamometer Iron-vane Electrodynamic ammeters An electrodynamic meter uses an electromagnet instead

ABSTRACT The objective of this project is to design LCD digital oscilloscope for practical use. The basic concept for the project involves reading the voltage signal at the input and displaying it on the screen of an alphanumeric LCD. The input analog signals are supplied to the ADC(Analog to Digital Converter)‚ which are then sampled by it and the amplitude of the signal(voltage) is displayed on the LCD. Device Components: Microcontroller or processor: We used Atmega16- an Atmel AVR series

CONSTRUCTION HARSH KUMAR A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring the electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog to digital converter. Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable

of the System The process of circuit design begins with the specification‚ which states the functionality that the finished design must provide‚ but does not indicate how it is to be achieved. The initial specification for this project is a dc voltmeter with an input voltage range of 0 to 300 volts. Although there are many parameters that a design specification should contain‚ such as size‚ weight‚ moisture resistance‚ temperature range‚ thermal output‚ vibration tolerance and acceleration tolerance

PIC based digital voltmeter author: Rajendra Bhatt - rajbex[pic]yahoo.com Introduction This project describes how to make a digital voltmeter using a PIC microcontroller. A HD44780 based character LCD is used to display the measured voltage. The PIC microconotroller used in this project is PIC16F688 that has 12 I/O pins out of which 8 can serve as analog input channels for the in-built 10-bit ADC. The voltage to be measured is fed to one of the 8 analog channels. The reference voltage for
