Moving Iron Instrument

  • MI instruments are used for the measurement of the RMS value of current and voltage.
  • These instruments have a non-uniform scale.
  • It works on the principle of attraction of a single piece of soft iron into the magnetic field.
  • In the MI instrument, when the current is passed through the solenoid, a magnetic field is set up inside the solenoid. Then the iron piece gets magnetized which in turn deflects the pointer. 
  • The deflecting torque produced is directly proportional to the square of the current.
  • The controlling torque is provided by the spring control.
  • The damping torque is provided by air friction damping.
