Why moving iron is used in both AC and DC current?

A moving iron instrument works by means of a coil that attracts a moving iron mass that is attached to a pivoted pointer which moves across a graduated scale. The iron mass will be attracted towards the coil, regardless of the magnetic polarity of the coil. So, as an AC current continually reverses the magnetic polarity of the coil, the iron mass is always attracted towards the coil, never repelled by it. Similarly, a moving iron instrument doesn't care in which direction a DC current is flowing. So the instrument works equally well with both AC and DC currents. Moving iron instruments, however, are not as accurate as moving coil instruments which, of course, are sensitive to the direction of current.


Is Voltmeter is a moving iron Instrument or moving coil instrument?

If this is a homework related question, you really should consider trying to solve it yourself before looking at this answer. Otherwise, the value of the lesson, and the reinforcement provided by the assignment, will be lost to you.A moving coil measuring instrument has a coil attached to the indicator, surrounded by a magnet.A moving iron measuring instrument has a magnet attached to the indicator, surrounded by a coil.In both cases, the indicator is driven by magnetic torque caused by current flow in the coil.

Why moving iron or hot wire types meters can be used for measuring both AC and DC quantites?

Hot Wire hot wire is a resistive device ir drop is the same regardless of frequency hot wire can measure power true power regardless of frequency or phase angle two wires for power current and voltage both to convert to a measured temperature integration speed depending on the mass of the wire(s) hot wire can be a bimetal spiral connected directly to the pointer on the scale Moving Iron: the moving iron has a spring connected to an iron bar in a coil dc or ac will cause the iron to be magnetized the amount of current will increase the deflection normal 50hz 60hz and dc differences are very small the iron will have induced eddy currents causing higher frequency to have less deflection 400hz on airplanes for lighter transformers... need a different calibration see "Wigginton voltage tester" simplest moving iron i know of one moving part, the iron well 2 if you count the little compass on top to tell dc polarity large solid core so different for 60Hz then dc by perhaps 10%


What is the Difference between moving coil and moving iron meter?

moving coils will only respond to dc current moving iron will respond to both ac and dc current moving Ion meters tend to be read on a logarithmic scale, are slightly cheaper to manufacture, and are less accurately read. moving coil meters are read on a linear scale, and are more accurate to read. To read AC it must have a capacitor across its terminals and a diode in series to read AC.

Why are moving iron test instruments not used with DC although they can work in DC?

For moving-iron instrument magnetic field is caused when the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle. When the current (voltage) passes the fixed circle,the two iron plates are magnetized ,rotational torque is resulted, the deflection angle indicate measured current. Because the magnetized polarity is same for AC or DC, moving-iron instrument can be used in AC and DC circuit. For permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument magnetic field is caused by the permanent-magnet, When the DC current passes the moving coil, rotational torque is resulted,so the deflection angle indicate measured DC current. As AC current passes the moving coil ,because inertia of moving parts of meter the deflection angle indicate rotational torque average, but rotational torque average is zero in cycle, moving parts of meter is´t deflec,so permanent-magnet moving-coil instrument only is used in DC circuit.
