Analogue Meter

Analogue meters measure voltage, current and resistance by means of a moving needle on a dial. They are useful in applications where there is a need to display the measured value on a control panel. Moving coil instruments are used as panel meters to measure d.c. current in the milliamp range up to one ampere. Moving iron meters can measure both d.c. and a.c., up to several hundred amps directly

Moving coil meters can measure both d.c. and a.c. up to several hundred amps directly, but may also be used in applications where there is a need to display the measured value on a control panel. Moving iron meters are used as panel meters to measure d.c. current in the milliamp range up to one ampere, or for measurement of voltage in the volts range up to hundreds of volts.

Analogue meters are used to measure d.c. current and voltage directly from a source, and can be connected to an oscilloscope for the measurement of both d.c. and ac . They can also be used to display the measured value on a control panel.

Analogue meters are useful in applications where there is a need to display the measured value on a control panel. Moving coil instruments are used as panel meters to measure d.c. current in the milliamp range up to one ampere. Moving iron meters can measure both d.c. and a.c. up to several hundred amps directly, as well as resistances down to a few ohms, inductances from microhenrys to megohms, capacitances from pF/cm2 down to nF/cm2 and more!
