IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT
I. OBJECTIVE
1. To know LCR Meter and its function 2. To know the construction of LCR Meter and how LCR Meter works
II. BASIC THEORY
LCR meter is an electronic electrical measurement to measure resistance, inductance
and capacitance value. The utilization is relatively easy since today, a digital LCR meter is
already in the market, and it makes the user easier to use it. Here is a brief explanation about
resistor, inductor and capacitor
Resistor is an electronic component that has the function to control and limit electricity.
It is also used to limit the amount of current flowing in a circuit. According to its name, resistor
is resistive and mostly is made from carbon. The unit of resistance is Ohm and symbolized by
omega. Type of resistors mostly has the shape of tube with two copper legs. There are colored
circles in the body to make the user know about the resistance without measuring it using
measurement device. (example: ohm meter)
Figure 1. Resistors types
![Page 6: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Inductor is symbolized by L. Usually in a form of coil, but sometimes has other forms
too. Inductor or coil is one of passive components that is made up by coils and usually save
up energy in form of magnetic field. The unit for inductance is called Henry (H=Henry, mH
= millihenry, etc). An inductor is called as ideal if it has inductance, but has no resistance or
capacitance and does not waste much energy.
Figure 2. Inductors Types
Capacitor is an electronic component that can store electric charge in a certain time. The
definition of capacitor is electronic component that save electrical current charge in electric
field until a certain time by collecting internal inequity from electric current charge. Capacitor
was invented by Michael Faraday (1791-1867). The unit of capacitance is Farad (F). One farad
is equal to 9×1011 cm2.
Figure 3. Capacitors Types
LCR Meter is a part of electronic measurement device to measure inductance (L),
capacitance (C) and resistance (R) in component. In the simpler form of this device, the real

value of these units is not measured; so that impedance will be measured internally and
converted to be shown to capacitance that match or inductance value. The reading will be
accurate if capacitor and inductor of device tested do not have impedance significant resistive
component.
The basic resistor measurement principle with LCR-740 is WHEATSTONE bridge.
Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit consisting of two parallel circuit branches connected
with the galvanometer with the aim to measure an unknown electrical load. Wheatstone bridge
has four resistance arms, a source and a detector, usually in the form of galvanometer.
Wheatstone bridge can be used to determine the unknown resistance value, for example (see
figure 4), suppose R4, we determine the value of the resistor until current through the
galvanometer indicates the value of zero. Wheatstone bridge is said to be in equilibrium if the
voltage delta in galvanometer is zero volt, in this case there is no current flowing through
galvanometer. At Figure 4, I of Wheatstone bridge will happen if voltage at C to A is equal to
voltage from D to A, or if voltage from C to B is equal to D to B. In this case:
Figure 4. Wheatstone bridge
![Page 8: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

If galvanometer shows zero, hence:
By substituting equation (1-1),(1-2) and (1-3), we have:
If I2 from equation (1-1) is inserted, we got:
Equation 1-4 is a form of Wheatstone bridge equality. If three of the resistances are known
and one of resistance is unknown, for example R3= Rx, hence:
![Page 9: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Principally, alternating current bridge is used to measure unknown inductance by comparing
it with standard known inductor. Figure 5 describes inductance comparator bridge; R1 and R2
are the comparator, and the standard arm is LS in series with RS, whereas LS is high quality
inductor and RS is variable resistance. Lx is unknown inductance and Rx is the resistance.
Figure 5 Inductance Comparator Bridge
If the arm of the bridge is stated in complex form, therefore:
In equality:
![Page 10: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Two complex numbers are the same, if its real and imaginary are the same. By equating real
part of equation (1-5), hence:
For the imaginary,
Principle that is used for capacitance measurement is Capacitance Comparator Bridge,
which is similar to Inductance Comparator Bridge. Figure 6 describes capacitance comparator
bridge. R1 and R2 as comparator arms, and the standard arm is Cs (high quality capacitor)
which is series with Rs (variable resistance). Cx is capacitance whose value is unknown, and
Rx is capacitor leaking resistance.
Figure 6. Capacitance Comparator Bridge.
If the arms of inductance comparator bridge are stated in complex form, therefore:
![Page 11: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

In equilibrium, hence:
The same with inductance comparator bridge, two complex number is the same if its real
and imaginary are the same. By equating the real part of above’s equation, we have:
Hence the imaginary is:
Equilibrium is obtained by controlling the value of variable load, and variation of load
R2 and R1 to obtain minimum current flow in the galvanometer. After that the current that
flows through Galvanometer is reduced by varying variable load Rs and keeping R2 and R4
constant. And then keep load Rs constant and change load R2 and R4, repeat the process above
until the bridge is in equilibrium. After reaching equilibrium, capacitance can be obtained from
the equation above.
If the bridge circuit is not in equilibrium, then the current that flows to the galvanometer
causes a deviation of the galvanometer needle. The magnitude of the deviation is a function of
the galvanometer’s sensitivity. Hence, the sensitivity is calculated as current per unit(ampere).
![Page 12: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The galvanometer needle deviation can be expressed linearly or the angle per unit. The
sensitivity S can be stated as
Thus the total deviation D is :
D = 𝑆 × 𝐼

SINGLE PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT
I. OBJECTIVE

alternating current circuit with different type of loads.
2. To know the working principle of single phase wattmeter, cos phi meter, amperemeter and
voltmeter.
3. To understand the variation of power type in alternating current system circuitry.

II. BASIC THEORY
Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is
transferred in an electrical circuit in a time unit (energy per time). Different with direct current
direct current circuit, in alternating current circuit, there are 3 kinds of power; True Power,
Reactive Power and Apparent Power. The three has tight relation to one another and it is
represented by a triangle, and called as power triangle.
Figure 1. Power Triangle
![Page 15: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The difference between these kinds of power in alternating current circuit is caused by the
characteristics of impedance inductive and capacitive component. In alternating current circuit,
inductive and capacitive component has a certain impedance value due to frequency. These
inductive and capacitive components create lagging and leading of current with respect to
voltage, which will affect the multiplication between voltage and current, and as a result, there
are three kinds of power in AC circuitry.
The shape of power triangle is determined by the type of loads in the circuit; whether it
is resistive, inductive, capacitive or combined. The resultant of these loads is called by
impedance, and impedance has the combined characteristics based on which components
composing it. The characteristic of load means the type of power that is absorbed, and the
leading or lagging of the current with respect to voltage. The usage of inductive /capacitive load
will affect the current position with respect to the voltage, which usually the difference is
symbolized by phi, and the amount of cos phi is called as power factor. Power factor is the ratio
between active power and apparent power.
Hence, considering the angle shifting between current and voltage, power can be stated
as S = V x I*= P + Jq With: S → in Volt-Ampere, apparent power
P → in Watt, active power
Q → in VAR, reactive power
V → in Volt, voltage
I* → in Ampere, current
Notice in I, there is a star symbol (*). This symbol states that the value of current utilized
is conjugated mathematically. This equation also states that angle that is formed by voltage and
current is the subtraction between angle that is formed by voltage and angle that is formed by
current. Here is the illustration:

In this experiment, analog measurement device will be utilized to measure current,
voltage, power and power factor. Analog measurement device mainly has similarities in having
firm and rotating coil that has been calibrated so the movement of its hand matches with the
amount that being read. There are some construction types of analog measurement device, for
example:
a. Moving Coil Type
How moving coil works is that it used 2 permanent magnets that will induct coil that
has current and connected with the hand of the measurement device. The bigger the
induction, the coil will rotate until the hand hits the damper. Moving Coil utilizes Lorentz
Force principle.
Figure 3. Moving Coil Construction

b. Moving Iron Type
It uses two soft steels; one is mounted in the coil and the other is connected to the hand of
the measurement device. When current flows to the coil, electromagnetic field will happen
and those two steels will have permanent field. • Attraction type: pair of steels will have different poles when facing one another.
• Repulsion type : pair of steels will have the same poles when facing one another. Figure 4. Repulsion type Figure 5. Attraction type

d. Induction Type
If inducting coil has current flowing through it, an alternating magnetic field will
happen. This magnetic field will create rotating current in the metal disk, and the current
will generate magnetic field too hence interaction with magnetic field from inducting coil
creates rotating force in metal disk.
Figure 7. Induction type construction
e. Electrostatic Type
There are two plates, both in half circle shape, that is set to be next to each other, but
one of them is not moving. These two plate is connected to an axis. The plate that can move
has a hand to show the measurement result. These two plate will have current flowing
through it and create electrostatic field that works based on coulomb law. The moving plate
will move due to the two force on the two plates that have different potential.

f. Thermocouple Type
Two conductors that differs will be united in one end and separated in the other end.
The united end will convert heat energy that is received and will be flown to the other end. Due
to the different of conductor type, there is a potential different in the tip of the conductor.
Usually this type is combined with moving coil type by replacing its source from heat energy.

single phase wattmeter. 4. Understanding the power factor measurement of RLC load of three phase circuit. 5. Understanding how wattmeter works.
II. BASIC THEORY
Power quality is a condition between electricity source and the supplied electrical
appliances. The power quality describes how good or bad the quality of electricity due to some
disturbances that may happen in electricity system.
Usually what are talked about in power quality is the disturbances that happen.
Generally, the quality of power has three important parameters, which is voltage, current and
frequency. Every deviation from voltage, current and frequency from its normal condition that
can make the quality of power delivered and system performance worse, and it could create
failure of system or the wrong electrical load operation from consumer side. Here are the problems of power quality: a) Voltage Drop, voltage that disspates due to impedance of the circuit
b) Transient, a phenomenon that involves variable change (voltage, current, etc) that occurs
during transition period from steady state to another state, transient is divided into : • Impulse transient : transient that only has one direction of polarity
• Oscillatory transient : transient that has two directions of polarity

Based on the voltage change value, SDV consist of 3 types, which are
• Interruption : reduction of voltage or electrical current until it is below 0.1 pu for a
period of time not exceeding 1 minute
• Sag : reduction of voltage or electrical current 0.1-0.9 pu in a period of 0.5 cycles - 1
minute

LIGHTING MEASUREMENT
I. OBJECTIVE
1. Understanding lighting concept 2. Understanding units in lighting measurement 3. Understanding lighting measurement device 4. Knowing application and usage of lighting measurement.
II. BASIC THEORY
Light is an electromagnetic radiation that can be caught by eyes and has wavelength from
0.4 x 10-4 -~ 0.75 x 10-4 cm. Light also can be defined as the amount of lighting on a working
plane that is needed to do activity effectively. Based on the sources, lighting is divided into 2
kinds : a. Natural lighting Natural lighting is lighting that is based on sun rays. b. Artificial lighting Artificial lighting is lighting that is based on any other sources, except sun rays.
Beside its source, a lighting system can be divided into 3 kinds, based on the distribution : a) Distributed lighting system
In this system, light illumination is spread evenly with the same strong light intensity
on the entire horizontal surface in the room. b) Localized lighting system
In this system, light is provided to provide highly selective illumination in a relatively
wide place or field. Usually installed with common lighting, where localized lighting is
used as lighting for work and distributed lighting is used as basic lighting.
![Page 30: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

c. Directed lighting system
In this system, light is concentrated from a particular direction to the work plane within
the space/limited area or directed to specific object such as painting.
One of the most common artificial lighting sources that utilized by human is lamp. Lamps
can be categorized into several types, according to the method that is used to emit light. These
lamps also has differences in shapes, power consumption, and also the heat/brightness. : a. Light Bulb
Light in light bulb is resulted from tungsten made-filament that shines due to heat. Only
8-10% of the energy is converted to light; the rest is converted to heat form. Halogen lamp is
included to this group.
Basically, filament in light bulb is a resistor. If an electrical current goes through it, the
filament turns extremely hot, and its temperature will be approximately 2800 K until 3700 K in
its peak. This causes the light color from light bulb is in yellow reddish. In that extremely high
temperature, filament will produce light in a visible wavelength.
b. Fluorescent lamp
The light in this lamp comes from phosphoric powder which covers the inner part of
lamp’s tube. The powder determines the color of the light produced. More than 25% of energy
consumed by this lamp is converted into light.
When a 220 volt of AC voltage is connected to one set of fluorescent lamp, the voltage
of the tip of starter is enough to cause neon gas in starter tube to be ionized and it will cause the
starter from normally open to closed, hence the neon gas inside will be deionized. In this closed
starter condition, a current will flow to heat filament of fluorescent lamp tube and the gas inside
the tube will be ionized. Once the neon gas in the starter tube is cooled enough, the bimetal in
starter tube will be opened again so the ballast will produce a high voltage spike and causes
electron jump from the two electrodes and shines the fluorescent layer on the lamp’s tube.
c. HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamp
The light in this lamp is caused by electrical prod using metal vapor. Mercury lamps and metal
halide lamps are some examples of HID lamp.
![Page 31: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

d. LED (Light-Emmiting Diode) lamp
This lamp is composed by a set of LED to emit light. The LED light will appear without
heating of the components. LED needs DC source to energize it with low voltages. Due to that
reason, a step down transformer circuit is also equipped to decrease source’s voltage that goes in
to the circuit.
In lighting measurement, some specific terms are used, for example:
a. Light intensity
It is the strength of light from a light source. The amount is measured in candela (cd) unit.
b. Lumen
Lumen (SI unit, symbolized by lm) is a unit for light flux that is emitted in a solid angle unit
by a source with light intensity of 1 candela. One lumen is equal to the amount of light
uniformly emitted of 1 candela in 1 steradian solid angle. It is written 1 lm= 1 cd sr.
c. Illumination
Illumination or lighting intensity is the amount of light exposing a surface. Illumination has
unit of footcandles (fc) or in lux form; 1 lux= 1 lumen /m2
a. Steradian
Steradian is a unit of space angle for a ball area in radius distance
Figure 1. Relationship of steradian, ball area, and radius distance.
![Page 32: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Here is the conversion of units above:
From To With data Equation
Candela (Iv) Lumen (Φv) angle α Φv=2πIv (1−cosα2)
Lumen (Φv) Candela (Iv) angle α Iv=Φv2π (1−cos½α)

Candela (Iv) Lux (Ev) Measurement distance D (m)
Ev=IvD2
Lux (Ev) Candela (Iv) Measurement distance D (m)
Iv=Ev⋅D2
Measurement tool utilized is luxmeter. Luxmeter has lux unit, which is defined as a metric
unit of light on a surface. Luxmeter has light intensity range from 1 to 100,000 lux. Luxmeter is
constructed by three main components; case, LED and photodiode. The working principle of
luxmeter is to convert light energy to electrical current and it will be shown on LED screen.
Illumination measurement basically is a measurement that uses the approach of point source.
Illumination measurement is done in a dark place where there is no reflected light received by the
luxmeter sensor. There are three illumination measurements:
1. General measurement
It is a measurement that is done in one whole room. This measurement is done by dividing
the room into several measurement points with the same distance from one point to another.
2. Local measurement
It is done on a specific object. The object will be divided into several measurement points.
3. Reflectant measurement
It is a measurement of reflectant by doing twice of measurement. First measurement is to
measure lighting intensity on the surface by putting photo cell facing the light source. The second
measurement is by turning over the photocell facing the surface, and pulling photo cell until the
number on display shows highest number. The amount of reflectant is formulated here:
Reflectant= (Measurement 2/ Measurement 1) x 100%

GROUNDING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
I. OBJECTIVE
1. Knowing the amount of grounding resistance of a place.
2. Knowing and understanding the function and usage of grounding resistance measurement
and its application daily.
3. Knowing the earth ground tester working principle
II. BASIC THEORY
Grounding resistance is a resistance of a grounding system that aims to divert lightning
current to the ground so there will be no loss happened due to grounding current. The aim of
grounding: a. Safety and security
b. The tunnel for leakage current
c. Protection of device.
In an electrical installation, there are four parts that need to be grounded, they are: a. Every installation part that is made from conductor (metal) and can be easily touched by
human. This is necessary so that the potential of those metals will always be the same
with ground potential, where human stands, so it is not going to be dangerous for human
to touch it.
b. The lower part of lightning arrester.
This is necessary so lighting arrester can function well, which is to divert the electricity
from lightning to the ground directly.
![Page 36: LABORATORY MODULES ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT · Power in electrical engineering, is defined as the amount of electrical energy that is transferred in an electrical circuit in a time](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0c22457e708231d433e7dd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

c. The lightning rod on the upper part of transmission line.
This rod acts as lightning arrester. Since it is located along the transmission line, all of the
legs of transmission poles has to be grounded so the lightning can be diverted to the ground
via the poles’ legs.
d. Neutral point of transformer or generator.
This relates with the protection necessity.
Lightning happens due to potential difference between cloud and earth or between cloud and
another cloud. If the potential difference between cloud and ground is huge, there will be an
electron disposal from cloud to ground or vice versa, to reach equilibrium. The mechanism of
lightning is started by downward leader. This movement will reach the ground, so the negative
charge brought by downward leader will increase positive charge induction on ground surface.
Then the positive charge in a huge amount will move upward by upward leader, responding
downward leader movement, and a contact from the two happens, as a lightning.
Grounding system is related to lightning protection. Lightnng protection is dvided into: a. Internal protection system
Its objective is to protect objects from indirect lightning flash which is magnetic
field induction. Here are the types of internal protection system: 1. Bonding 2. Surge Protection Devices 3. Shielding 4. Safe Distance
b. External protection system
External protection system is used to protect object from direct lightning flash. The types are:

A. Dissipation Array System (DAS)
Dissipation Array System enables lightning flash not to happen in a location.
Point discharge that has sharp point is placed in several places of buildings’ roof, to
move electric charge of that object to air. The charge released by point discharge will
decrease the potential difference between ground and cloud, and reducing the cloud’s
ability to release charge to earth.
B. Charge Transfer System (CTS)
Charge Transfer System is the most common external lightning protection. In
this system, lightning will strike but the position of the strike had been predicted, so it
will not strike the other parts. The methods of CTS are: 1. Franklin Rod 2. Faraday Cage 3. Radioactive (Early Streamer Emission Air Terminal)
In grounding system, several important parts are: a. Air terminal b. Down conductor c. Grounding electrodes d. The soil
The wellness of grounding system is determined
by the amount of grounding resistance, where the
value will influence the grounding resistance.
The standard for good grounding is not more than
5 Ohm.
Factors that influenced grounding resistance value: a. Soil condition b. Humidity

to measure the power consumption on a consumer. kWh meter is basically divided as analog
type and digital type:
On analog kWh meter:

a. Driving System
This part is consisted of 2 electromagnets called as shunt magnet and series magnet.
The voltage coil that is connected with supply is put in the center of shunt magnet. The
current coil is in series with load. The coil will carry load’s current and producing
proportional flux with load’s current.
b. Moving System
The moving system in analog kWh meter consists of aluminum plate that is
perpendicular with the rotating axis. The shaft of this plate is connected with the hand in
the front part of kWh meter to show the information of energy consumption. The aluminum
plate is driven by torque coming from magnetic field that is inducted from eddy current in
aluminum plate.
c. Braking System
The braking system in analog kWh meter is controlled by a permanent magnet that
is located across the driving system’s magnet. This permanent magnet will create magnetic
field that opposes the direction of magnetic field that drives aluminum plate and as a result,
braking torque happens.
d. Registering System
The registering system consist of a gear that directly interact with aluminum plate
and hand on kWh meter to show the number, hence the amount of plate rotation will be
read.
In digital kWh meter, the working principle uses microprocessor to get the value of energy
consumption. In this type, the measurement is more accurate. But this kWh meter has more complex
component such as IC, display, voltage sensors, etc. The components of digital kWh meter is:
