SECTION-B
2. Describe the construction and working of a co-ordinate type a.c. potentiometer. How is it
standardized? Explain.
3. A permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC) instrument has a full scale deflection of 90? for
a current of 2 A. The deflecting torque in a PMMC ammeter is directly proportional to
current in the moving coil. Find the value of current required for a deflection of 30? if the
instrument is :
a. Spring controlled
b. Gravity controlled.
4. Describe how an unknown capacitance can be measured with the help of DeSauty bridge.
What are the limitations of this bridge and how are they overcome by using modified form
of DeSauty bridge?
5. What are Permeameters? Explain the working of a Hopkinson Permeameter.
6. Describe the theory and constructional features of potential transformers.
SECTION-C
7. Discuss the following :
a. Self-balancing potentiometer
b. Induction Instruments
8. Explain :
a. Resistance Standards
b. Flux meter
9. a) A current transformer with 5 primary turns has a secondary burden consisting of a
resistance of 0.16 and an inductive resistance of 0.12. When the primary current is
200 A, the magnetizing current is 1.5 A and the iron loss is 0.4 A. Determine the
number of secondary turns needed to make the current ratio 100.1 and also the phase
angle under these conditions.
b) Describe the working of a low voltage Schering bridge. Derive the equations for
capacitance and dissipation factor.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
