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%

Which radiation detection device is the best to use for measuring the presence of radiation in large moving objects where constant monitoring is impossible?

A gamma ray spectrometer is a suitable device for measuring radiation in large moving objects as it can provide detailed information about the types and levels of radiation present. It allows for quick and accurate identification of radioactive materials, making it effective for continuous monitoring in such situations.


What are the different types of multi-tester?

Multi-testers, also known as multimeters, come in several types, including analog and digital multimeters. Analog multimeters use a needle gauge to display readings, while digital multimeters provide a numerical readout, often with more functions and features. Additionally, specialized multimeters exist, such as clamp meters for measuring current without breaking the circuit and LCR meters for measuring inductance, capacitance, and resistance. Each type serves specific purposes in electronics, electrical work, and troubleshooting.
