How to Make simple Tang Meter
In a closed circuit on the AC voltage, along the Conductor (cable) will form a large electric field is proportional to the electrical load. In the following picture below, on the AB test point if the measured electric field is formed will be even greater if the greater power of the living light. In other words, the greater the current through conductive greater the electrical field.
Our goal here is how to measure electrical current without having to cut the point of AB and then install an ampere meter. But by measuring the current at the point of AB without cutting. At that point the bias measured electric field strength only.
Working Principle.
One way is by changing the electric field into electrical voltage. A simple way of converting an electric field into electric voltage is to use magnetic inductor.
For magnetic inductor consists of a coil of copper wire covered with an iron core.
Bahan2:
1. A former 3A transformer (only taken iron, look for an iron transformer no bolt holes)
2. A 250mA transformer (only taken the coil, should still good).
3A transformer used in the iron bolts dg:
250mA transformer:
Steps:
Unloading all the second iron transformer with hati2. Not to damage the iron and coil wire. 3A transformer will only take iron. Iron transformer is there are 2 kinds, namely in the form of 'E' and 'I'. We will use only the 'I'nya only.
Unloading also with hati2 250mA transformer. We'll take the roll and the wire intact. As the figure below.
Take all the steel 'I' from the transformer 3A, divided into four equal lots, and then forms such as the following figure.
Connect with bolts so strong.
Then take the coil wire from the transformer 250mA and enter the iron 'I'tadi be as below.
In the picture above, the open end of the iron as a way of slipping / insert Conductor / cable that will measure the current. If the cables are inside the circle (box) magnetic iron, clip until the cavity is close to full electric field enclosed in a circle of iron.
Give the load and the flow of electricity in circuits (first picture above). With a multi-meter, try measuring the voltage generated coil. Multimeter on the smallest scale vac. In taking the primary winding coil, namely that there is tension 0-110-220. Measure at the point of 0-110 and 0-220. If successful it will be measured voltage at that point, though small. Voltage will be more readable if the power at the load / lamp greater.
