Electrical Measurements and Measuring Instruments

Electrical Measurements and Measuring Instruments (Wheeler's Students Edition) By E.W. Golding and F.C. Widdis

First published in 1949 and revised and updated several times since, this is a classic, standard work for degree and IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) students, also intended for the use of practicing electrical engineers who need a firm grasp of the ever-increasing importance of electrical measurements. The text is expressed in the rationalized MKS system of units, with a significant historical change being the adoption of that system in place of the older CGS system — a comprehensive comparison between the formulae in both systems is included for readers in transition between the two, alongside numerous worked examples illustrating the points covered throughout. The book connects theoretical measurement principles directly with real-world instrumentation, tracing the evolution of measurement precision from classical electrometers through to more advanced instruments.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Electrostatic and electromagnetic theory

• Units, dimensions, and standards

• Circuit analysis

• Capacitors, capacitance, and dielectrics

• Inductance, and measurement of inductance and capacitance

• Measurement of resistance

• Potentiometers

• Magnetic measurement

• Illumination

• High-voltage measurements and testing, cable fault localization, and temperature measurement

Key features:

• Long publication history since 1949, continuously revised across editions

• Comprehensive CGS-to-MKS unit conversion guidance for readers transitioning systems

• Numerous worked examples illustrating theoretical concepts throughout

• Broad coverage spanning fundamental theory through specialized measurement techniques (high-voltage testing, cable faults, temperature)

• Long-standing status as a classic standard reference for electrical measurement education

Perfect for:

• Electrical engineering degree and IEE students studying measurement fundamentals

• Practicing electrical engineers needing a comprehensive measurements reference

• Students transitioning between CGS and MKS/SI unit systems

• Anyone needing both theoretical grounding and practical instrument knowledge in electrical measurement
