Electrodynamometer type instruments can be used as ac voltmeter, Ammeters, Wattmeters and p.f. meters. With slight modification, they can also work as analogue frequency metres.<\/p>\n

1. Electrodynamometer Type Ammeter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below figure shows the arrangement of coils of an electrodynamometer ammeter. Two arrangements are shown. One is used for current below 100 mA and the other for current above 100 mA.<\/p>\n

2. Electrodynamometer Type Voltmeter<\/strong><\/p>\n

An electrodynamometer type movement is used as a voltmeter by connecting the fixed and the moving coils in series with a high non-inductive resistance. The connection diagram is shown below in figure.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The voltmeter of electrodynamometer type instruments read rms value of the voltage because deflection, \u03b8 is directly proportional to square of the input voltage.<\/p>\n

3. Electrodynamometer Type Wattmeter
\n<\/strong>
\nBelow figure shows the construction of electrodynamometer type wattmeter<\/p>\n

\"Electrodynamometer<\/p>\n

Thus, deflection is proportional to power measured by wattmeter.<\/p>\n

4. Electrodynamometer Type Power Factor Meter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below figure shows an electrodynamometer instrument arrangement to measure power factor of the load.
\nIt consists of two fixed coils and two moving coils.<\/p>\n

\"Equilibrium\"<\/p>\n

Electrodynamometer, type power factor meter has inherent controlling torque at equilibrium, and do not
\nrequire any spring.<\/p>\n

5. Electrodyanometer Type Frequency Meter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below figure shows the arrangement of frequency meter.<\/p>\n
