    This document summarizes several types of bridges used to measure electrical components: - The Carey Foster/Heydweiller bridge can measure capacitance or mutual inductance depending on its configuration. - The Similar Angle bridge is used to measure the impedance of a capacitive circuit by comparing an unknown capacitor to a standard capacitor. - Hay's bridge is similar to the Similar Angle bridge but replaces the capacitance with an inductance, allowing it to measure inductance. - Kelvin's bridge modifies Wheatstone's bridge to measure resistances below 1 ohm by reducing the effect of lead resistance on measurements.

    • CAREY FOSTER / HEYDWEILLER BRIIDGE:

    This bridge was basically designed and used by Carey Foster and, was
    Later on modified by Heydweiller for use in ac. Hence this bridge has both
    their name associated. The two bridges are used for opposite purposes.
    • If it is used for measurement of capacitance in terms of a standard mutual
    inductance, the bridge is known as Carey Foster's bridge.
    • It can also be used for measurement of mutual inductance in terms of a
    standard capacitance. Then the bridge is known as Heydweiller's bridge.
    The bridge circuit is as shown in fig. The bridge has a special feature, that
    one of its arms 'ad is short circuited and, therefore, the potential drop across this arm is zero.
    In order to achieve balance, the potential drop across arm 'ab' should also be zero. Hence for this
    reason negative coupling is required for the mutual inductance.
    • SIMILAR ANGLE BRDIGE (CAPACITANCE COMPARISON BRIDGE):
    Figure is a simple form of Similar–Angle Bridge, which is used to measure
    the impedance of a capacitive circuit. Sometimes called the capacitance
    comparison bridge or series resistance capacitance bridge.
    The ratio arms R1, R2 are resistive. The known standard capacitor C3 is in
    series with R3. R3 may also include an added variable resistance needed to
    balance the bridge. C; is the unknown capacitor and R; is the small leakage
    resistance of the capacitor. In this case an unknown capacitor is compared
    with a standard capacitor and the value of the former, along with its
    leakage resistance, is obtained. Hence.

    • OPPOSITE ANGLE BRDIGE (HAY’S BRIDGE ):


    This bridge is from Similar-Angle Bridge but the capacitance is replace with the
    inductance, Figure. It is used to measure inductance. Sometimes called a Hay
    bridge. It differs from Maxwell's bridge by having a resistance R] in series with a
    standard capacitor C1 instead of a parallel. For large phase angles, R I needs to be
    low; therefore, this bridge is more convenient for measuring high-Q coils. For Q =
    10, the error is ± 1%, and for Q = 30, the error is ± 0.1%. Hence Hay's bridge is
    preferred for coils with a high Q, and Maxwell's bridge for coils with a low Q.

    KELVIN BRIDGE: Kelvin's bridge is a modification of


    Wheatstone’s bridge and is used to measure values of resistance
    below 1Ω. In low resistance measurement, the resistance of the
    leads connecting the unknown resistance to the terminal of the
    bridge circuit may affect the measurement.
