Electrical and Electronics Measurements

  1. A current of – 8 + 6√2 (sin ωt + 30°) A is passed through three meters. They are a centre zero PMMC meter, a true rms meter and a moving iron instrument. The respective readings (in A) will be
    1. 8, 6, 10
    2. 8, 6, 8
    3. – 8, 10, 10
    4. – 8, 2, 2
Correct Option: C

PMMC instrument reads only DC value and since it is centre zero type so it will give – 8 value. RMS meter will read rms value of the current, so

RMS = √(8)² +
6√2
² = 10A
2

A. Moving iron also reads rms value, so its reading will also be 10 A.
Hence ultimately it will be – 8, 10, 10.
