What type of electrical current is used for three phase 408V?
Alternating current.
What kind of electricity is commonly used today?
AC, or alternating current.
Instrument used to measure length in metric system?
there are many instruments used to measure length depending upon the size of object , Ruler is Metric instrument used to measure length. Screw gauge is also used as an instrument used to measure length in mm.
What type of current is used to power electrical outlets in the US?
AC, alternating current is used to power electrical outlets in the U.S..
What is DC ammeter?
Instrument used to measure dc current
What instrument is used to measure electric current?
A galvanometer or milliammeter.
What is the instrument used for electrical current?
An Ammeter is used to measure electrical current, which is measured in Amperes (or Amps).
Can moving coil galvanometer be used to detect an alternating current in a circuit?
no. it,s only used to measure D.C
Which instrument would be used to measure current flowing in a circuit?
"ammeter"
Is your house alternating or direct current?
Alternating current. Direct current is used in batteries.
Who would need to utilise current transformers?
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
Is an ammeter a device specially designed to measure current?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.
Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
What is the 'job' of an ammeter in a circuit?
It measures the current.
What instrument measures voltage in a current?
Resistance is the name given to something which opposes the flow of an electrical current in a circuit and an ohmmeter is used to measure it.The Ohm is the name of the unit used to measure resistance.Further noteThe most common type of instrument used to measure resistance is a multimeter, which includes an ohmmeter, an ammeter to measure the current flow in amps and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference in volts.
What does an ammeter measure?
amps 'an electrical measure of current.'An ammeter is an instrument used to measure current (amperes), you dont measure ammeters!YEAH
