This book can be used as a textbook for the course in electrical and electronics
measurements and instrumentation. It presents a comprehensive treatment of the subject of
electrical and electronics measurements and instrumentation as taught to the
undergraduate students of B.Tech/BE in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics
Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, and allied branches. The book thus aims at
maintaining balance between these diverse fields of engineering disciplines by drawing
examples from various applications. The prerequisite on the part of the reader is that he or
she should have had introductory courses on linear algebra, basic calculus, vector/phasor
analysis, transform theory, circuit analysis and elementary mechanics. For the students’
interest, appendices on number systems and unit conversions are added at the end.

While conceptualising the text, the authors felt that the scope and method of treatment
could, with advantage, be augmented to suit the requirements of various branches of
engineering. Owing to the rapid advancements taking place in modern electrical and allied
industries, and their interconnection with power systems, the subject of electrical and
electronics measurements is gaining an ever-increasing importance.
As a subject of study, electrical measurement is one of the more traditional fields of
electrical and allied engineering disciplines. However, with progress in technology and
manufacturing expertise, measurements of physical parameters have gained new heights in
terms of state-of-the-art concepts and technologies. This book aims at bridging traditional
concepts with modern technologies of electrical and electronics measurements and
instrumentation.
