Download Solution PDFEnergy meter:
- The energy meter measures electrical energy in a kilowatt-hour.
- It is also known as kilowatt-hour meter or Induction type watt-hour meter.
- It is a type of ''integrating instruments.''
Components:
Driving System:
- The components of this system are two silicon steel laminated electromagnet
- Upper magnet→ Shunt magnet→ behave as potential coil
- Lower magnet→ series magnet→ behave as current coil
Moving system:
In this system, a thin aluminum disk placed in the air gap between the two electromagnets and mounted on a vertical shaft that is free to rotate.
Registering system:
It registers the number of rotations of the disk which is proportional to the energy consumed directly in kilowatt-hour.
Braking system:
This system has a permanent magnet called a brake magnet. It is located near the disk so that eddy currents are induced and a braking toque to the disk.
Solution:
Disc of the energy meter is made of aluminium.
