The importance of measurements is well known in the field of engineering. This book has been designed as a basic text for the undergraduate students of Electrical Engineering. This book meets the requirements of the syllabus of JNTU and other universities in India. The primary objective of this book is to present the concepts of Electrical Measurements in a clear and interesting manner so as to make an average student understand the subject independently. The extract and clear representation of various diagrams of measuring instruments is a distinguished feature of this book. With all these features this book would be extremely useful not only for the undergraduate engineering students but also for AMIE and GATE candidates.

The author has been teaching the subject for quiet a long time. The interaction of the students and the problems initiated in the class rooms were under taken and well answered while writing this book. The importance of measurements is well known in the field of engineering. In this context it gives us great pleasure which covers the concepts of the subject Electrical Measurements. The primary objective of this book is to present the concepts of electrical measurements in a clear and interesting manner so as to make an average student understands the subject independently. The extract and clear representation of various diagrams of measuring instruments is a distinguished feature of this book.

In this direction the basics concepts of measurements were introduced in the First Chapter in a phased manner.
The Chapter 2 deals with various types of indicating instruments.
The Chapter 3 explains a detailed analysis of instrument transformers with phasor diagrams. In this chapter various testing methods of instrument transformers has also been discussed.
The Chapter 4 explains the various methods adopted for measurement of power.
The Chapter 5 explains the supply meters and errors associated with the meter.
The Chapter 6 explains in detail various types of potentiometers and their applications.
The Chapter 7 explains the methods adopted for the measurement of resistance, inductance and capacitance using various types of bridges.
The Chapter 8 explains the analysis and applications of various types of AC bridges.
The Chapter 9 explains about the magnetic measurements including the methods for the measurement of magnetic field intensity, iron losses etc.

In brief this book addresses various methods for the measurement of electrical quantity with solved numerical examples. Many worked out examples were presented at the end of each chapter, so as to give confidence to the student to solve all sorts of problems of electrical measurements.
