ELECTRODYNAMOMETER
WATTMETER'S


These instruments are similar in design and construction to electrodynamometer

type ammeters and voltmeters
...




The fixed coils or “field coils” arc connected in series with the load and so

carry the current in the circuit
...
C
...



The moving coil is connected across the voltage and, therefore, carries a current

proportional to the voltage
...

• Since the moving coil carries a current proportional to the voltage, it is called
the „„pressure coil‟‟ or “voltage coil” or simply called P
...
of the wattmeter
...




They are divided into two halves
...



The fixed coils are wound with heavy wire
...



The fixed coils of earlier wattmeters were designed to carry a current of 100 A

but modem designs usually limit the maximum current ranges of wattmeters to
about 20 A
...

Moving Coil


The moving coil is mounted on a pivoted spindle and is entirely embraced by

the fixed spindle & is entirely embraced b the fixed current coils
...



The use of moving coil as pressure coil is a natural consequence of design

requirements
...

Control
• Spring control is used for the instrument
...




The moving system carries a light aluminium vane which moves in a sector

shaped box
...

Scales and Pointers


They are equipped with mirror type scales and knife edge pointers to remove

reading errors due to parallax
