Weston (M.I) Type Frequency Meter Principle: It is a moving iron instrument which operates on the principle of variation of impedance in an inductive circuit with variation of frequency. Weston Frequency Meter Construction: It consists of two coils A and B mounted perpendicular to each other. Each coil is divided into two sections. The connections are as shown in the above fig. The branch of coil has a resistance R 1 connected in the series with it while coil B has a reactance coil L 2 in series with it. Circuit of coil A is in parallel with a reactance coil L 1 while that coil B is in parallel with a resistance R 2 . The moving element is a soft iron needle. The needle is pivoted on a spindle which is also carries a pointer and damping vanes. There is no controlling torque. The series reactance L 0 acts to suppress higher harmonics in the current of instrument and therefore tends to minimize the waveform errors in its indication. Working: When the meter is connected across th...
