Best Answer

Full Scale Deflection is equal to the max value on a scale or meter. If a thermometer reads from -20 degrees to +100 degrees, the full scale deflection = 100 degrees and the range = 120 degrees

How do you multiply current transformer output?

There are many ways but never can you multiply the power. <<>> A current transformer is specifically designed, by amp turns, to only output 5 amps. Meters that are connected to CT's have a full range deflection (scale) of 5 amps. To do what you are asking seems pointless as there are no meters with 10 amp full scale deflection.

What is steady deflection?

When battery key and galvanometer key are pressed together ..throws comes out on the meter scale which goes on either side and stop there..that is steady deflection...


If you want to measure a current greater than the full scale deflection of the constructed ammeter in this case should the resistance in parallel with the galvanometer be increased or decreased?

A: the resistance should be decreased to 1/2 its value for half scale reading or use any ratio [ decrease] to obtain a correct reading.


How do you use analog multimeter?

A: Using analogue or digital meters is simple but dangerous for the meter if set on the wrong scale and/or function. Trying to measure 100v on an scale that reads ohm can destroy the meter. Analogue meters usually have a coil that requires only 50 micro amps for full deflection

How much amp draw does amp gauge versus volt meter?

A meter that you find in large distribution panels only receives part of the supply voltage. The volt meters have a full scale deflection of 5 volts. The amp meters have a full scale deflection of 5 amps. These meters are supplied from, for voltage, potential transformers and for amperage, current transformers. The transformers are ratio driven so that the maximum input will always produce a 5 volt or 5 amp output.The legend on the meter is matched to the transformers. For example, if the maximum current applied to a current transformer is 300 amps then the transformer ratio will be 60:1. So for every 60 amps the transformer detects the meter needle will move up to a position on the meter face equalling 60 amps. This is a linear movement all the way up to full scale deflection of 300 amps equalling 5 amps to the meter.
