This document discusses various instruments used to measure power and energy in electrical circuits. It describes how power can be measured in direct current circuits using a voltmeter, ammeter and Ohm's law, and in alternating current circuits using voltage, current and power factor. Several types of instruments are introduced for measuring power at low levels or specific wavelengths, including bolometers, calorimeters and wattmeters. Energy measurement is also covered, defining energy as power over time and describing various meters used to measure energy in direct and alternating current circuits.
4. POWER MEASUREMENT
In a direct current circuit it can be
done with the help of a voltmeter,
ammeter and is computed by using a
derivative of Ohm's law
P = VI = I2R = V2/R
In an AC circuit ,the average power is
given by
Pavg = VI cosφ

5. BOLOMETER
A device for measuring the power of
incident electromagnetic radiation via
the heating of a material with a
temperature-dependent electrical
resistance.
APPLICATIONS:
It is used to measure very low
powers.
It is used to measure radiation of sub
millimeter wavelengths.Danish Tanvir (2008-chem-05) 5
8. HOT ELECTRON BOLOMETER
The hot electron
bolometer (HEB)
operates at cryogenic
temperatures,
typically within a few
degrees of absolute
zero. At these very
low temperatures, the
electron system in a
metal is weakly
coupled to the phonon
system.

9. CALORIMETER
A device used to measure the quantity
of heat flow in a chemical reaction.The
calorimeters are the most accurate of all
instruments for measuring high power.

12. BOMB CALORIMETER
Danish Tanvir (2008-chem-05)
It is used to measure heat flows for gases an
high temperature reactions.

13. THROTTLING
CALORIMETER
An instrument utilizing the principle of
constant enthalpy expansion for the
measurement of the moisture content
of steam; steam drawn from a steam
pipe through sampling nozzles enters
the calorimeter through a throttling
orifice and moves into a well-insulated
expansion chamber in which its
temperature is measured

14. WATTMETER
An instrument for measuring the
electric power in watts of any given
circuit.

WATTMETER
ELECTRODYNAMOMETER ELECTRONIC WATTMETER
15. ELECTRODYNAMIC
WATTMETER
It consists of two coils, a current is
allowed to flow through one coil that
generates an electromagnetic
field around the coil. The strength of
this field is pointed by the needle
attached with the other coil that has a
high-value resistor connected in series
with it to reduce the current that flows
through it.
Danish Tanvir (2008-chem-05) 15
16. ELECTRODYNAMOMETER
It has a fixed coil which is surrounded at
right angle by the second coil i.e
suspended by silk fibres, and to the coil
is also attached a spiral spring the other
end of which is fastened to
a torsion head. If then the torsion head is
twisted, the suspended coil experiences
a torque and is displaced through an
angle equal to that of the torsion head.

17. ELECTRONIC WATTMETER
Electronic wattmeters are used for
direct, small power measurements or
for power measurements at
frequencies beyond the range of other
types of wattmeters.

19. ENERGY MEASUREMENT
Energy creates the power to drive
tools and machines, to process
materials into manufactured products
and to create structures.
Energy= power × time
Where power is equal to the product
of voltage and current.So,
Energy=V×I×t

20. ENERGY METERS
Energy meters are the instruments
basically used to measure the quantity
of electric energy supplied to a circuit
in a given time.
Basically, there are two types of
energy meters:
D.C. meters
A.C. meters

22. ELECTROLYTIC METERS
Electrolytic meters are exclusively
ampere-hour meters, measuring
electric quantity directly and electric
energy only indirectly, on the
assumption that the pressure of the
supply is constant. It has further some
types:
Edison meter
C. O. Bastian's meter

23. MOTOR METERS
An integrating meter which has a rotor,
one or more stators, a retarding
element which makes the speed of the
rotor proportional to the quantity (such
as power or current) whose integral
over time is being measured, and a
register which counts the total number
of revolutions of the rotor.

24. CLOCK METERS
Suppose there are two pendulum clocks,
geared to a single counting mechanism
which records the difference in the rates
of going of the two clocks,one having an
ordinary pendulum and the other having
a pendulum consisting of a fine coil of
wire through which a current is passed
proportional to the potential difference of
the supply. Below this pendulum let there
be placed another coil through which
passes the current to be measured

25. INTERMITTENT REGISTERING
METERS
A clock motion electrically driven is
made to take readings at definite
intervals - say, every five minutes -
and to add up these readings upon a
set of registered dials. The
arrangement therefore integrates the
ampere-hours or watthours.

26. A.C. INDUCTION METERS
These meters only apply in case of
alternating current supply.
There are two types of induction
meters:
SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION
METER
THREE PHASE INDUCTION
METER

28. THREE PHASE INDUCTION
METER
Use of additional voltage and current
coils.
The amount of energy represented by
one revolution of the disc is denoted
by the symbol Kh which is given in
units of watt-hours per revolution.
P=3600*Kh/t
