INDUCTION TYPE INSTRUMENT
The ammeters which employ the induction effect as their mode of operation are suitable for
A.C. measurements only.
In the induction type ammeter the current to be measured is split-up into two parts. This is done by adopting suitable methods, producing a phase- shift of 90 between such two
A Second method which produces necessary two fields out of phase with each other without
splitting the current is by Shaded pole' system. It is shown in Fig. a1. he current to be
measured is passed through the coil of an electromagnet, which has an air gap in one limb. Hal
of each of the pole faces so formed is surrounded by a copper band. By transformer action thne
two bands have currents induced in them, which cause the flux in that part of the iron so
Surrounded, to be 45° or 50° out of phase with that in the 'unshaded' portion of the poles. The
moving system is the copper or aluminium disc, pivoted with its periphery in the air gap in the
electromagnet.
The eddy currents induced in it by the two fields react with these fields to produce motion. The
control torque is produced by a control spring. The scale is normally cramped at its lower end,
similar to other instruments, where the deflecting force is proportional to the square of current
For obtaining a more uniform scale a cam-shaped disc is used. Damping is provided by a
permanent magnet, positioned opposite to the electromagnet and operating on the main disc.
