Question
Q5 (a) The unknown low-value resistance (R,) was measured using an ammeter-voltmeter
method with a voltmeter sensitivity of 150 Q/V and an ammeter resistance of 0 2.
Calculate the actual value of Rx if the voltmeter reading is 2.8 V on its 3-V range and
the ammeter reading is 0.5 A.
(b) A loss and charge method is one of the well-known methods for high resistance
measurement.
(i)
Describe the operation of the loss of charge method with the help of a
schematic diagram.
(ii) An insulation test measures the capacitance of 800 pF between the conductor
and earth. It was observed that after charging the cable with a voltage supply
of 500 V for a sufficiently long time, when the voltage supply is withdrawn,
the voltage drops down to 160 V in 60 seconds. Determine the insulation
resistance of the cable.
