MALCOVATI PIERO (titolare) - 6 ECTS

Basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics, physics and electrotechnics.

The course goal is to introduce to the electrical measurement techniques through an experimental approach. The most important formative objectives are the knowledge of some general concepts: measurement and measurement uncertainty, as well as the knowledge of analog and digital instrumentation. The main measurement methods for quantities of interest in the electrical field will be then considered.

The course can be divided in two parts, the first devoted to the definition of the concepts of measurement and measurement uncertainty, while the second focused on electrical measurements.

First part: Basic metrology
• General concepts
• Measurement systems
• Measurement units
• Standards
• Measurement uncertainty

Second part: Electrical Measurements
• Analog instruments
• Digital instruments
• Measurement methods for dc electrical quantities and use of the instrumentation
• Measurement methods for ac monophase electrical quantities and use of the instrumentation
• Measurement methods for ac polyphase electrical quantities and use of the instrumentation
• Bridge methods for dc measurements and use of the instrumentation

Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 38
Practical class (hours/year in lecture theatre): 5
Practicals / Workshops (hours/year in lecture theatre): 12

The lecture notes (P. Malcovati, Misure Elettriche) and the slides used during the lectures are available. Moreover, it is possible to refer to the following books:

M. Savino. Fondamenti di Scienza delle Misure. La Nuova Italia Scientifica.
Ernest O. Doebelin. Strumenti e Metodi di Misura. McGraw-Hill.

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.
