Specific course objectives
The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to electrical measurements with an experimental approach. We consider dc and 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 programme
The course can be divided in two parts, the first, more theoretical, devoted to the definition of the concepts of measurement and measurement uncertainty, as well as to the description of the basic instruments, while the second, more practical, focused on the measurement methods and their application.
First part
Measurement theory and instrumentation
- General concepts
- Measurement systems
- Measurement units
- Standards
- Measurement uncertainty
- Analog instruments
- Digital instruments
Second part
Measurement methods
- 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
Course entry requirements
Basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics, physics and electrotechnics.

Suggested reading materials
Sono disponibili le dispense (P. Malcovati, Misure Elettriche) e i lucidi utilizzati durante le lezioni (http://sms.unipv.it/misure). Inoltre si puņ fare riferimento ai seguenti testi:
M. Savino. Fondamenti di Scienza delle Misure. La Nuova Italia Scientifica.
G. Zingales. Misure Elettriche: Metodi e Strumenti. UTET.
Testing and exams
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.
