Prerequisites
Course of Misure Elettriche, as well as basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics, physics and electrotechnics.
Learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to describe in detail the industrial electrical measurement techniques through an experimental approach. We consider either sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal quantities. The most important formative objectives are the knowledge of the concepts of measurement and measurement uncertainty, the knowledge of the main measurement methods for electrical quantities both theoretically and practically, as well as the knowledge of the main measurement instruments for electrical quantities both theoretically and practically.
Course contents
The course can be divided in two parts, the first, more theoretical, devoted to the definition in more detail of the concepts of measurement and measurement uncertainty, as well as to the description of the instruments and the laboratory standards, while the second, more practical, focused on the measurement methods and their application.

First part: Measurement theory and instrumentation
• Laboratory standards
• Referability and repeatability of measurements
• Instrument calibration
• Analog and digital oscilloscopes
• Instrument transformers
• Data acquisition systems and signal conditioning
• Sensors and transducers

Second part: Measurement methods
• Measurement methods for high-voltage systems and use of the instrumentation
• Bridge methods for ac measurements and use of the instrumentation
• Measurement methods for the characteristic quantities of magnetic materials and use of the instrumentation

Reccomended or required readings
The lecture notes (P. Malcovati, Misure Elettriche) and the slides used during classes (both available on-line at http://sms.unipv.it/misure) cover the entire program of the course. Additional informations can be found in:

Assessment methods
There will be a witten test at the end of the lectures. Moreover, the students will prepare reports on the activities carried-out during the experimental laboratory exercises. For the students that will have performed the written test and attended the laboratory exercises, the oral exam will consists in a discussion on the written test and the prepared reports. For the students that will not have performed the written test and/or attended the laboratory exercises, the exam will consist of an oral test on the whole program of the course.
