Full Description

Scope

The methods given here relate to measurements, as made with either analog or digital indicating or integratinginstruments, of power, energy, voltage, and current, in dc or ac rotating machines, transformers, induction apparatus,arc and resistance heating equipment, mercury arc, thermionic, or solid-state rectifiers and inverters. Measurementsmade with supplementary instruments and devices are also included. This guide does not deal with measurements ofresistance or temperature that are often included in determining the performance characteristics of electric machinery.Instruments for these latter measurements will be found in the specific publications dealing with the particularmeasurement, such as IEEE Std 118-1978, IEEE Standard Test Code for Resistance Measurements [4]1, and IEEE Std119-1974, IEEE Recommended Practice for General Principles of Temperature Measurement as Applied to ElectricalApparatus [5].

Purpose

It is the purpose of this guide to give instructions for those measurements of electrical quantities that are commonlyneeded in determining the performance characteristics of electric machinery and equipment. The choice of themeasurement method and instrument systems to be used depends on the purpose of the measurement, the accuracyrequired, the time and testing equipment available, and the nature of the circuit.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Active.Instructions are given for measuring electrical quantities that are commonly needed to determine the performance characteristics of electric machinery and equipment. Methods are given for measuring voltage, current, power, energy, power factor, frequency, impedance, and magnetic quantities, with either analog or digital indicating or integrating instruments, in DC or AC rotating machines, transformers, induction apparatus, arc and resistance heating equipment, mercury arc, thermionic, or solid-state rectifiers and inverters. Ancillary instruments and equipment are discussed. Computer-based techniques and the use of optical fibers in instrumentation are considered.
