Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE Questions All Questions carry equal marks

Max Marks: 80

1. (a) Discuss the following types of errors in moving iron instruments. i. ii. iii. iv. Hysterisis error Temperature error Errors due to stray magnetic elds Errors due to change of frequency.

(b) Describe the working and constructional details of repulsion type moving iron instrument. Discuss its advantages and disadvantages [8+8] 2. (a) Discuss with neat diagrams, the theory and working of an electro static voltmeter of the quadrant type. Draw the connections for i. heterostatically connected ii. ideostatically connected instruments. (b) Derive an expression for the force of attraction between the plates in a parallel plate electrostatic voltmeter. [10+6] 3. (a) Explain how power can be measured by using instrument transformers (b) The total resistance of the pressure coil circuit and the inductance of a wattmeter the 4000 and 6.5mH. respectively Given the shunted capacitor method of compensating the inductance error and also determine across what portion of the series resistane a 0.1F capacitor should be shunted to eect compensation. [8+8] 4. (a) Draw a neat sketch showing the construction of a single phase induction type energy meter. Give the theory & operation of the instrument (b) An energy meter is designed to make 100 revolutions of the disc for one unit of energy. Calculate the no. of revolutions made by it when connected to a load carrying 20A at 230volts at 0.8 pf for an hour. If it actually makes 360 revolutions, nd the percentage error. [8+8] 5. (a) Explain the reasons why a separate standard cell dial circuit is provided in modern d.c. potentiometers. (b) A slide wire potentiometer has a battery of 4V and negligible internal resistance. The resistance of slide wire is 100 and its length 200cm. A standard cell of 1.018V is used for standardizing the potentiometer and the rheostat is adjusted so that balance is obtained when the sliding contact is at 101.8cm. [8+8] 1 of 2

6. Describe the construction and working of a polar type potentiometer. How is it standardized? What are the functions of the transfer instrument and the phase shifting transformer? [16] 7. (a) In Maxwells Inductance-capacitance bridge the dial of variable capacitor can be made to read the value of unknown inductance directly? How is it done? (b) A Maxwells inductance capacitance bridge is used to measure an unknown inductance in comparison with capacitance. The various values at balance : are R2 of arm ad =400 R3 of arm bc = 600 R4 and C4 of arm Cd = 1000, 0.5 Calculate the values of R1 and L1 arm ab calculate also the value of storage () factor of coil if requency is 1000Hz.
