TOPICS COVERED
Anderson Bridge
De-Sautys Bridge
ANDERSON BRIDGES
 The Andersons bridge gives the accurate
measurement of self-inductance of the circuit. The
bridge is the advanced form of Maxwells
inductance capacitance bridge. In Anderson
bridge, the unknown inductance is compared with
the standard fixed capacitance which is
connected between the two arms of the bridge.
Construction of Anderson Bridge
The bridge has fours arms ab, bc,
cd, and ad. The arm ab consists unknown
inductance along with the resistance. And the
other three arms consist the purely resistive arms
connected in series with the circuit.The static
capacitor and the variable resistor are connected
in series and placed in parallel with the cd arm.
The voltage source is applied to the terminal a
and c.
.
Theory of Anderson Bridge
Let, L1  unknown inductance having a resistance R1.
R2, R3, R4  known non-inductive resistance
C4  standard capacitor
At balance Condition,
Now,
The other balance condition equation is expressed as
By substituting the value of Ic in the above equation we get,
on equating the equation, we get
Equating the real and the imaginary part, we get
Advantages of Andersons Bridge:
1) In Andersons bridge it is very easy to obtain the balance
point as compared to Maxwells bridge.
2) In this bridge a fixed standard capacitor is used therefore
there is no need of costly variable capacitor.
3) This method is very accurate for measurement of
capacitance in terms of inductance.
Disadvantages of Andersons Bridge:
1)It is more complex as compared with Maxwells inductance bridge. It
has more parts and hence complex in set up and manipulate. The
balance equations of Andersons bridge are quite complex and much
more tedious.
2) The bridge has an additional junction which arises the difficulty in
shielding the bridge.
Hay's bridge for high Q-factor (Q>10) inductance measurement,
Maxwell's bridge for medium Q-factor (1<Q<10) inductance measurement
and Anderson's bridge for low inductance (upto millihenry) measurements.
But, won't it be more convenient if we can have a single bridge
which can measure value of inductance over a wide range ?
This is exactly what an Owen bridge does  Measure inductance over a wide range.
De-Sautys Bridge
Desauty's bridge is the simplest ac bridge circuit
used for the measurement of unknown
capacitance. The bridge gives a fair degree of
accuracy for measuring capacitance over a wide
range. It can be also used for comparing two
capacitance.
Construction of De-sauty's Bridge
The bridge consists of four branches or arms. Two
capacitors C1 and C2 are placed in branches AB and
AD respectively. The branches BC and CD consist
of resistors R3 and R4 respectively. An ac source is
connected between terminals A and C. The circuit
diagram of the bridge is shown in the figure.
A null indicator is connected across terminals B and
D, which indicates null deflection when the bridge is
balanced.

Let,
C1 = Unknown capacitance
C2 = Known standard capacitance
R3 = Known standard non-inductive resistance
R4 = Known standard non-inductive resistance.
From the above figure, the impedances in each arm is
given as
When the bridge is balanced, we have,
It is the easiest method for the measurement of
capacitance as it has a simple circuit and only
one variable element. In order to bring the
bridge into a balanced condition, either R3 or
R4 can be chosen as a variable element.
Advantages of the De-Sautys Bridges
1.The advantage of this bridge is its simplicity to obtain a perfect balance.
2.The calculations are very easy
Disadvantages of the De-Sautys Bridge
1.If both capacitors are not free from dielectric loss then it is not possible to obtain
the balance condition. This method therefore used only for air capacitor, which are
more or less loss free.
Schering bridge
The Schering bridge use for measuring the capacitance of the
capacitor, dissipation factor, properties of an insulator,
capacitor bushing, insulating oil and other insulating
materials. It is one of the most commonly used AC bridge.
The Schering bridge works on the principle of balancing the
load on its arm.
Wiens bridge
The Wiens bridge use in AC circuits for determining the value
of unknown frequency. The bridge measures the frequencies
from 100Hz to 100kHz. The accuracy of the bridges lies
between 0.1 to 0.5 percent. The bridge is used for various
other applications like capacitance measurement, harmonic
distortion analyser and in the HF frequency oscillator.
