How does an LCR bridge work?

LCR meters are measuring instruments that measure a physical property known as impedance. Impedance, which is expressed using the quantifier Z, indicates resistance to the flow of an AC current. It can be calculated from the current I flowing to the measurement target and the voltage V across the target’s terminals.

What is LCR Q Bridge?

Product description. DIGITAL LCR Q METER OR DIGITAL INDUCTANCE METER is Useful for measurement of winding inductance and resistance of coil, transformer, motors, wires, cables, relays, chokes etc. and capacitance of capacitors, wire, cables etc. Superior performance employing LSI IC’s.

What are the uses of digital LCR bridge?

Digital LCR meter type measures I(through DUT) and V (across DUT) and phase angle between measured I and V. From these measured parameters useful impedance parameters are calculated. LCR meter can also be used to measure impedance which is later converted to L, C or R for display.

Why oscillator is used in LCR bridge?

The significant component of LCR meter is the Wheatstone bridge and RC ratio arm circuits. The component whose value is to be measured is connected in one of the arms of the bridge. For providing AC excitation, the oscillator is used in the circuit. It generates the frequency of 1 kHz.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Hartley oscillator?

Disadvantages. It cannot be used as a low-frequency oscillator since the value of inductors becomes large and the size of the inductors becomes large. The harmonic content in the output of this oscillator is very high and hence it is not suitable for the applications which require a pure sine wave.

Why Hartley oscillator is not suitable low-frequency range?

The Hartley oscillator can’t be used as a low-frequency oscillator because the size of the inductor and the value of the inductor is large.
