  2. Class of accuracy in electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_accuracy_in...

    Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i.e., the internal impedance of the ammeter should be zero (no voltage drop over the ammeter) and the internal impedance of the voltmeter should be infinite (no current through the voltmeter). However, in actual case, ammeters have a low but non zero impedance and voltmeters ...

  3. Load regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_regulation

    The values of the resistors are selected such that R 1 gives the highest load resistance, R 1 ||R 2 gives the nominal load resistance and either R 1 ||R 2 ||R 3 or R 2 ||R 3 gives the lowest load resistance. A voltmeter is then connected in parallel to the resistors and the measured values of voltage for each load state can be used to calculate ...

  4. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel . It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.

  5. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    The Voltage Regulation formula could be visualized with the following: "Consider power being delivered to a load such that the voltage at the load is the load's rated voltage V Rated, if then the load disappears, the voltage at the point of the load will rise to V nl."

  6. Voltage drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_drop

    The voltage drop across the load is proportional to the power available to be converted in that load to some other useful form of energy. For example, an electric space heater may have a resistance of 10 ohms, and the wires that supply it may have a resistance of 0.2 ohms, about 2% of the total circuit resistance. This means that approximately ...

  7. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    Alternating-current electric motors and transformers may draw several times their normal full-load current when first energized, for a few cycles of the input waveform. Power converters also often have inrush currents much higher than their steady-state currents, due to the charging current of the input capacitance .

  8. Input impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_impedance

    The input admittance (the reciprocal of impedance) is a measure of the load network's propensity to draw current. The source network is the portion of the network that transmits power, and the load network is the portion of the network that consumes power.

  9. Electrostatic voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_voltmeter

    An electrostatic voltmeter uses the attraction force between two charged surfaces to create a deflection of a pointer directly calibrated in volts. Since the attraction force is the same regardless of the polarity of the charged surfaces (as long as the charge is opposite), the electrostatic voltmeter can measure DC voltages of either polarity.
