PMMC Experiment

The document describes four experiments using a 1mA PMMC ammeter: 1. Design a 0-10V DC voltmeter using the ammeter and calibrate it against a DMM. 2. Design a series Ohm meter with a half scale of 10kΩ, test it on resistors at voltages of 12V, 11V and 13V after compensation. 3. Design a 0-3V AC voltmeter and calibrate it using a 100Hz function generator. 4. Build a 0-3V AC voltmeter using feedback and calibrate against a DMM, comparing it to the meter from experiment 3. Determine the maximum allowed input voltage.

Experiment 2

Indicating Instruments Using PMMC Mechanism

A 1 mA full-scale PMMC ammeter will be provided to you. You are required to perform the
following experiments.

1. (a) Measure the resistance Rm of the given PMMC meter using DMM.
(b) Design a (0-10) V DC voltmeter using the given PMMC. Calibrate the meter. Use
comparison method of calibration with a 3½ digit multi-meter (DMM, will be
provided) serving as the reference.
(c) What is the sensitivity of the voltmeter?
2. (a) Design a series type Ohm meter for a half scale reading, Rh = 10 kΩ. Set the
voltage E shown in Fig. 1 to 12 V. Check the meter reading by connecting 4
appropriate unknown resistors, Rx and verify their values using DMM.
(b) Repeat the same for E = 11 V and E = 13 V, after compensating appropriately
using R2.
Note: design equations are given below for your convenience. Im is the full scale
current of the meter.
R2 Rm I m Rm Rh I m Rm Rh
Rh  R1  ; R2  ; R1  Rh 
R 2  Rm E  I m Rh E

3. Design a (0 − 3) V AC voltmeter as shown in Fig. 2 and calibrate it. Use the function
generator as the input source to generate a sinewave at 100 Hz.
Note: 3 V represents RMS value.

4. (a) Build a (0 – 3) V AC voltmeter as shown in Fig. 3 based on the feedback concept.
Calibrate the same against the DMM. Verify the operation and compare it with the
meter given in Section. 4. Use the function generator for generating the sinusoidal
input signal at 100 Hz. Note: 3 V represents RMS value.
(b) What is the maximum allowed input voltage for the system? (Note : You may
choose any appropriate value for RB.)
