Construction of PMMC Instrument

FAQ Related to PMMC

The full form of PMMC is Permanent Magnet Moving Coil.

A PMMC instrument works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a moving coil in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet experiences a deflecting torque proportional to the current flowing through it.

The main components of a PMMC instrument include a permanent magnet, moving coil, pointer, scale, spring, pivot, jewel bearings, and a damping mechanism.

Errors in a PMMC instrument can be caused by temperature changes, aging of the permanent magnet, mechanical friction, and eddy currents.

The advantages of using a PMMC instrument include high accuracy, good sensitivity, a linear scale, low power consumption, and stable performance.
