Instrumentation and Control

The document discusses different types of electrical measurement instruments. It describes an ohmmeter as an instrument that measures electrical resistance and mentions its working principle involves a needle and two test leads. It lists three types of ohmmeters: series, shunt, and multi-range. It then provides details about the AEMC 2126.53 Digital Megaohm Meter, including its pros, cons, and features. The document also discusses power factor meters, their uses in measuring power factors of electrical machines and transmission lines. It lists two types of power factor meters - moving-iron and electrodynamic - and provides pros and cons of each type.
