Potentiometer

It is an electronic device which is operate on low voltage. It has three resistor terminal with sliding & rotating contact form that voltage regulate by resistor. This device used for measurement purpose in programming card & display.

Use of potentiometer

Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant amounts of power. Instead they are used to adjust the level of analog signals and as control inputs for electronic circuits. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the switching of a TRIAC and so indirectly to control the brightness of lamps.

Preset potentiometers are widely used throughout electronics wherever adjustments must be made during manufacturing or servicing.

User-actuated potentiometers are widely used as user controls, and may control a very wide variety of equipment functions. However they remain in many applications, such as volume controls and as position sensors.

multimeter

What is a digital multimeter? A  digital multimeter  is a test tool used to measure two or more electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). It is a standard diagnostic tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries. Digital multimeters long ago replaced needle-based analog meters due to their ability to measure with greater accuracy, reliability and increased impedance. Fluke introduced its first digital multimeter in 1977. To better  understand  digital  multimeters,  it’s  helpful  to  become  clear  on  the  basics  of electricity.                       After  all,  digital multimeter  always  measure  some  aspect  of  electricity. In  the  case  of electricity,  that  force  might  be  a...

Zoomlion Qy 50v Load chart free pdf download

A Chinese construction machinery manufacturer, having taken on the mission of contributing to our motherland through industry and through the great ambition of "broadening our vision by aiming high" for more than fifty years, we have taken one firm step after another on our way towards allowing "Made in China" to challenge the world standard. With steps restlessly marching forward and with a long, winding path covered by single individual strides for over half a century, each and every footprint made, burdened under heavy loads, demonstrates nothing but the strong demeanor and ambition that a climber shows while looking down upon everything from mountain peak. We have experienced innumerable glorious moments over the past fifty years, such as: showing our strength in the centennial Three Gorges Project, being highly praised for building the Antarctic Scientific Exploration Bases, challenging the extreme construction conditions on the Qinghai-Tibet Platea...

Ammeter

It's Electronic device in which we measure current in amperes (A)in close Circuit. It is connected in series with circuit. The effective resistance of ammeter is low The Resistance of an ammeter is zero. A moving coil of galvanometer is converted in to an ammeter by connected a suitable low resistance in parallel to it. Circuit must be disconnected in order to attach the ammeter. Ammeter considered as less accurate value. Type of ammeter There are 7 type of ammeter. 1.Moving coil  2-Moving magnet  3-Electrodynamic  4-Moving iron  5-Hot wire  6-Digital  7-Integrating Moving coil ammeter:                                   The D'Arsonval galvanometer is a moving coil ammeter. It uses magnetic deflection, where current passing through a coil causes the coil to move in a magnetic field. The modern form of this instrument was devel...
