    SUBJECT: MEASUREMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION [ELE 306]
    REVISED CREDIT SYSTEM
    Time: 3 Hours 01 JULY 2016 MAX. MARKS: 50

    Instructions to Candidates:
     Answer ANY FIVE FULL questions.
     Missing data may be suitable assumed.

    1A. What is virtual instrumentation? Highlight the main difference between traditional and virtual
    instruments. (use virtual thermometer as an example) (03)
    1B. Three resistances have ratings as 37 Ω ±5%, 75 Ω ±1% and 50 Ω ±3%. Determine the magnitude
    and limiting error in ohms and percentage of the total resistances when all are connected in
    A) series and B) parallel. (03)
    1C. Briefly explain the static and dynamic characteristics associated with an Instrumentation
    system. (04)
    2A. A capacitive displacement transducer uses a differential arrangement with two outer plates
    which are fixed and a central plate which is moveable. The distance between the fixed and the
    moveable plates is 5 mm when no displacement is applied. A voltage of 1000 V RMS is applied
    across the fixed plates. Determine the differential output voltage if a displacement of 0.01 mm is
    applied to the central plate. Also find the sensitivity of the transducer. (03)
    2B. Explain with neat schematics and accompanying graphs, how capacitive transducers can be
    used for sensing applications by variations in:
    i. Distance between the plates
    ii. Overlapping area (03)
    2C. i. An LVDT has an output of 6V RMS when the displacement is . Determine
    the sensitivity of the instrument in V/mm. A 10V voltmeter with 100 scale divisions is
    used to read the output. Two tenths of division can be estimated with ease. Find the
    resolution of the voltmeter. The above arrangement is used in a pressure transducer for
    measurement of deflection of a diaphragm. The diaphragm is deflected through
    by a pressure of 1000N/m2. Find the sensitivity and resolution of this
    instrument.
    ii. A strain gauge is bonded to a steel beam 0.1 m long and has a cross-sectional
    area of . Young’s modulus of elasticity for steel is 207 GN/m 2. The strain gauge has
    an unstrained resistance of 240Ω and a gauge factor of 2.20. When the load is applied,
    the gauge’s resistance changes by 0.013 Ω. calculate the change in length of the steel
    beam and the amount of force to be applied. (04)
    3A What is the importance of signal conditioning in Measurements and Instrumentation? In
    general explain any four functions of a Signal conditioning circuit. (03)
    3B Draw the circuit of, 3 OpAmp - Instrumentation amplifier and derive an expression to determine
    its output voltage. (03)
    3C i. Explain the working of R-2R ladder DAC with neat schematic. Derive the expression for
    its output voltage.
    ii. Prove that analog output voltage corresponding to the binary input 0001 in a R-2R DAC
    logic is Vout = -1/16 Vs. (04)

    4A Derive the equation for measurement of an unknown low resistance using Kelvins Double
    Bridge method using suitable circuit diagram. (03)
    4B With neat circuit diagram, explain the two methods of determining the low value of resistance

    resistance. (03)

    5A Explain in detail the measurements of frequency using Lissajous patterns. Mention the factors
    on which Lissajous patterns are dependent. (03)
    5B In an electrodynamometer instrument the total resistance of voltage coil circuit is 8.2kΩ and
    mutual inductance changes from (-173μH) at zero deflection to (+175μH) at full scale deflection
    of 95°C. If 100V potential difference is applied across voltage circuit, current of 3A at a power
    factor of 0.75 is passed through current coil. What will be the deflection if the spring constant is
    4.63X10-6 N-m/rad. (03)
    5C What is Instrument Transformer? Highlight the three main differences between current
    transformer and potential transformer. (04)
    6A Inductance of moving coil ammeter with full scale deflection of 90° at 1.5A is given by an
    expression μH where, θ is the deflection in radians from zero
    position. Estimate the angular deflection of pointer for a current of 1A. (03)
    6B Design a suitable ladder logic based control for a simple direct-on-line starter system of a 3
    phase AC motor. The starter has one start and one stop switch. The motor has a stop and a run
    indicator lights. Explain the design suitably. (03)
    6C With appropriate I/O waveforms as well as ladder diagrams, explain:
