Abstract
In many instances the values of electrical quantities (voltage, current and power) are too large or too small to be connected directly to the available instrument. It therefore becomes necessary to suitably reduce, or amplify, the magnitude of the measurand so that it has a value compatible with the measuring instrument to be used. In addition to these requirements, the effects of the instrument’s impedance must always be considered for this may effect the value indicated for the measurand.
