Meter Movement

Meter movements are devices used in combination and miscellaneous instruments within the supply class of Instruments and Laboratory Equipment. These meter movements are responsible for measuring and displaying various electrical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, and frequency.

Meter movements typically consist of a coil and a pointer. The coil is connected to the electrical circuit being measured, and the current flowing through the coil generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the pointer to move and indicate the measured quantity on a scale.

Meter movements can be found in a wide range of instruments, including multimeters, ammeters, voltmeters, ohmmeters, and frequency meters. They are essential components in these instruments, allowing users to accurately measure and monitor electrical parameters.

In addition to their use in electrical measurement instruments, meter movements can also be found in other applications such as audio equipment, where they are used to indicate volume levels or signal strength.

Overall, meter movements play a crucial role in combination and miscellaneous instruments by providing a visual representation of electrical quantities, enabling users to make informed decisions based on accurate measurements.
