Master the art of measuring electrical resistance with precision and practical technique.
This classic reference explains how galvanometers, deflection instruments, and bridges work together to produce accurate readings. It covers design choices that affect sensitivity, response, and error, and shows how to select components to fit insulation tests, low‑ and high‑resistance work, and laboratory applications. Clear explanations and real‑world examples help you apply the methods to cables, meters, and measurement setups.
In-depth topics include:
- How to read and interpret galvanometer deflections in different circuits
- The role of coil design, damping, and suspension in achieving high figures of merit
- Practical procedures for insulation resistance testing of cables and long lines
- How to use Wheatstone and Kelvin bridges for accurate resistance measurements
What you’ll experience:
- Hands‑on guidance for choosing instruments and configuring readings
- Discussion of time constants, conductors, and practical limits in measurements
- Illustration of multiple instrument types and their best‑fit uses
- Step‑by‑step tests and careful procedures to avoid errors and leaks
Ideal for readers of electrical testing, cable insulation work, and precision resistance measurement seeking robust, time‑tested methods.
