what are the types of electrical meters???

Question

voltmeter(0-300)v MC.what does MC imply???

Answer 1

If it said 300 MC it might be MegaCycles. However, the question says 0 - 300v MC.

My guess is that it refers to Moving Coil. This is an older type of meter with a needle that swings through an arc, like most speedometers on cars.

Answer 2

MC! MC!
I just had an inspiration during lunch!!

It could mean Maximum Current. If I am right it will have two needles or hands. one will indicate your current load at present. The other will indicate the Maximum Current drawn for this period (the meter reader will reset this each reading).
If your maximum load has exceeded a certain agreed amount then there will be a surcharge in adition to the kWhrs you have used for the billing period.

OLD IDEAS BELOW.
I will hazard a guess that you are looking at a meter board or switch board or perhaps an electrical diagram. The MC may not be a meter it may be a Main Contactor or Main Circuit breaker. Now my attempt to list meters is below.

Volt meters (volts)
Amp meters (amps or current)
Power meters (Wattage)
Ohm meters (resistance or sometimes impedance)
Energy meters (say kWhr the meters most of us are billed on)
and many more specialised types.
There are two main classess being electronic (newer) and magnetic movement (older technology but still valid)

Answer 3

In this case, the MC and the fairly low voltage suggests a modest volt/hertz product making the MC stand for Megacycles, the old abbreviation for MHz. I'm guessing it's also got a meter movement and there are some other markings close to the center of the meter telling you the input impedance (e.g.- 1000Ω/V, etc.)

Answer 4

I'm afraid your question isn't totally clear. But the main types of electrical meters are voltmeters, which measure voltage (electrical potential); ohmmeters, which measure electrical resistance (in units called ohms); and ammeters, which measure electrical current (in units called Amperes).

Answer 5

Hrmm....
an uppercase M usually implies Mega as opposed to m for milli, and the only thing that comes to mind when talking electricity that could be represented with a C is coulomb. A coulomb [named after I think it was Charles Coulomb] is a unit of measurement of electrical charge.

how do i know??????
