    This document discusses moving iron (MI) instruments, which are used to measure alternating current or voltage. [MI instruments have a pointer connected to a soft iron core that moves according to the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying coil. There are two types: repulsion and attraction. Repulsion types have two concentric iron vanes, while attraction types have a single moving iron core. The magnetic field produces deflecting torque on the pointer, which is opposed by control springs or weights. MI instruments are low-cost, robust, and can measure both AC and DC, but have non-linear scales and draw more power than moving-coil alternatives.]

    Measurement
    Presentation on MI Type
    instruments

    By – Rohit Girase
    Rupesh Girase
    Moving Iron (MI) Instruments
    •Generally used to measure AC current
    or voltage (but can measure DC current
    and voltage without any external circuit)

    •Pointer is connected to specially


    designed soft iron that moves
    according to the intensity of magnetic
    field acting on it

    •The magnetic field is produced by


    current carrying coil
    Classification of MI

    1) Repulsion (or double iron) type

    2) Attraction (or single iron) type

    3
    Types of torque in MI

    •Deflecting torque produces movement on an


    aluminum pointer over a calibrated scale

    • Control torque: provided by spring or weight

    •Damping torque: Pneumatic (mechanical


    damping) aluminum vane attached to the shaft

    4
    Constructional details of
    attraction type MI

    •Moving element : Soft


    iron
    •Coil: Produces magnetic
    field & magnetize the iron
    piece
    • Control springs or
    weights, aluminum vane,
    aluminum pointer, shaft,
    calibrated scale, mirror, etc

    5
    Constructional details of
    Repulsion type MI

    6
    Constructional details of
    Repulsion type MI

    7
    Constructional details of
    Repulsion type MI
    •Two concentric iron vanes (Fixed & Movable)
    •Solenoid coil (stationary)
    •Pointer attached to movable vane
    • Movable vane is curved rectangular in shape
    •Fixed vane is tampered
    •Controls springs, Aluminum pointer,
    Aluminum vane, calibrated scale, mirror etc

    8
    Working principle
    •Current flow magnetizes the coil

    •The two iron vanes become magnetized with


    north poles at their upper ends and south poles
    at their lower ends for one direction of current
    through the coil

    •Due to repulsion, the unbalanced component


    of force, tangent to the movable element,
    causes it to turn against the force exerted by
    the springs
    9
    Working principle

    •When no current flows through the coil, the


    movable vane is positioned so that it is
    opposite the larger portion of the tapered
    fixed vane, and the scale reading is zero

    •The amount of magnetization of the vanes


    depends on the strength of the field, which,
    in turn, depends on the amount of current
    flowing through the coil.

    10
    Design for MI Ammeter and MI
    Voltmeter
    Ammeter: Coil with few turns of large wire
    Voltmeter:

    1)Solenoid with many turns of small wire

    2)Portable size: a) self contained series


    resistance b)ranges up to 750 V

    3)Higher ranges are obtained by the use of


    additional external multipliers
    11
    MI for DC purpose

    •Error due to residual magnetism in the


    vanes

    •The error may be minimized by reversing


    the meter connections and averaging the
    readings

    12
    Advantages

    • Low cost
    • used for both ac and dc purpose
    • High accuracy for AC
    • Robust
    • Torque to weight ratio is high (less friction)

    13
    Limitations
    •Non linear scale
    •Draw more power
    •Shielding (laminated iron cylinder)
    should be provided to protect from
    external magnetic fields
    •Deflecting torque is not exactly
    proportional to I2
    •Variation of frequency introduce
    error

    MI and MC
