8、的量程，以便按期望的单位读取数值。 2. A basic knowledge of the construction and operation of meters will aid the user in making proper connections and maintaining them in safe working order. 关于仪表的基本构造知识和操作方法将帮助使用者正确地连接和维护这些仪表，以使它们处于安全的工作状态。 注：长句在科技英语中极为常见，在翻译时，应当适当断句将其拆分为数个短句，使句子更易于理解。难句参考翻译 3.CAUTION: Never allow a

9、 meter to exceed its rated maximum limit. The importance of never allowing the actual value to exceed the maximum value indicated on the meter can not be overemphasized. Exceeding maximum values can damage the indicating needle, interfere with proper calibration, and in some instances may cause the

10、meter to explode, resulting in injury to the user. Some meters are equipped with over current protection. However, a current many times greater than the instruments design limit may still be hazardous. 警告：绝对不要让仪表（工作于）超出其额定最大值（的状态）。不允许仪表的测量值超过其标注的最大值，这一点怎么强调也不过分，超过最大测量值将损坏指针、影响仪表的校准状态，在某些情况下仪表甚至可能爆炸，

11、导致用户受伤。一些仪表配备有过流保护装置，但是，电流大于仪表的设计极限值多倍依然是有害的。4.The larger the amount of current, the farther the needle will move. 电流越大，指针移动越多。5.The conductor is formed into coil, which is placed on a pivot between the poles of the permanent magnet. The coil is connected to the terminals of the instrument through t

12、wo spiral springs. These springs supply a reacting force proportional to the deflection. When no current is flowing, the springs cause the needle to return to zero. 导体在支架上被绕成线圈，并被置于永久磁铁磁极之间，线圈通过两个螺旋型的弹簧连接至仪表的接线端，弹簧提供一个与指针偏移成正比的恢复力（反作用力）。当没有电流时，弹簧使得指针回归零位。 6.The meter scale is designed to indicate th

13、e amount of current being measured. The movement of the coil (and thus the movement of the indicating needle) is proportional to the amount of current flowing in the coil. If it is necessary to measure larger currents than the coil can safely carry, a bypass circuit, or shunt, is included. The shunt

14、 many be contained within the meter housing or connected externally. 仪表的刻度被设计成能显示待测电流大小，线圈的移动（也就是指针的偏移）正比于线圈中电流的大小。如果必须测量大于线圈所能安全承载的电流值时，就会接入一个分流电路，也就是旁路器，它可能置于仪表内部，也可以外接。 7.Note: Regardless of the design, the distance the needle moves is determined by the amount of current flowing in the coil. 注意：不

15、管如何设计，指针移动的距离由流过线圈中的电流大小决定。注：注意祈使句的翻译，应当简洁、明了、有力。8.A slight change must be made in the design in order to use this type of meter on AC. A rectifier is a device which changes AC to DC. It must be incorporated into the meter and the scale must be drawn to indicate the correct value of AC voltage. Rect

16、ifier-type AC meters cannot be used on DC and are generally designed as voltage meters. 为了让这种仪表能工作在交流，必须对设计进行小小的改变：在仪表内加入整流器，即将交流转换为直流的装置，并且刻度应该被标刻成能正确显示交流电压。整流型交流仪表不能用于直流，而且通常被设计成电压表。 注：适当调换次序，可以使文章更流畅。9.The electrodynamometer, Fig.1.2 is another design for both ammeters and voltmeters that can be

17、used on alternating current. This instrument consists of two stationary coils and one movable coil. The three coils are connected in series with each other through two spiral springs. The spring also support the movable coil. When current flows through the coils the movable coil moves in a clockwise

18、 direction. 电测力计，如图1.2所示，是另一种可以用于交流的设计方案，且既可以用作电流表，又可以用作电压表。这种仪器由两个固定线圈和一个动线圈组成，这三个线圈通过两个螺旋型弹簧相互串联，弹簧还起到支撑动线圈的作用。当电流流过线圈时，可动部分沿顺时针方向移动。 clockwiseanti clockwise10.In the electrodynamometer. The sacle is not divided uniformly, as it is in permanent magnet-type meters. The force on the movable coil var

19、ies with the square of the current flowing through the coils. This requires that the divisions near the beginning of the scale be made closer together than those near end. The greater the distance between the divisions, the more accurately one can read the meter. It is important to strive for an acc

20、urate reading. 电测力计的刻度不是均匀划分，由于它是一种永磁型仪表，作用于动线圈的力与流过该线圈的电流的平方成正比，所以要求靠近起点的刻度分隔比靠近终点的要密。分隔之间的距离越宽，仪表的读数就越准确，应当尽量获得精确的读数。 11.The voltage tester is used to check common voltages, to identify the grounded conductor, to check for blown fuses, and to distinguish between AC and DC. The voltage tester is sm

21、all and rugged, making it easier to carry and store than the average voltmeter. Fig.1.3 and 1.4 depict methods for testing fuses with a voltage tester. 电压测试器用于检查常见电压、识别接地导体、查找损坏的熔断器、区别交、直流，它小而坚固，与其它电压测量装置相比便于携带和收藏。图1.32和图1.4图示了用电压测试器测试熔断器的方法。注：注意中文翻译时的标点符号的使用。12.CAUTION: Always read and follow the i

22、nstructions that are supplied with the voltage tester. 警告：总是阅读电压测试器的说明书并按照其指示进行操作。 注：注意follow的翻译13.The voltmeter is a much more accurate measurement than the voltage tester. Because voltmeters are connected in parallel with the circuit or the component being considered, it is necessary that they hav

23、e relatively high resistance. The internal resistance keeps the current through the meter to a minimum. The lower the value of current through the meter, the less effect it has on the electrical characteristics of the circuit. 电压表比电压测试器更为精确，因为它与电路或待测部件相并联，所以必须有相对较高的内阻，使得通过仪表的电流最小。通过仪表的电流越小，对电路特性的影响就

24、越小。14.The average meter used by the electrician is generally between 95 percent and 98 percent accurate. This range of accuracy is satisfactory for most applications. It is very important, however, that the electrical worker strive to obtain the most accurate reading possible. An accurate reading ca

25、n be obtained by standing directly in front of the meter face and looking directly at it. If the meter has a mirror behind the scale, adjust the angle of sight until there is no reflection of the indicating needle in the mirror. For extreme accuracy, a digital meter may be used. 电工所使用的电压表的平均精度在95到98

26、之间，这样的精度对于大多数的应用是令人满意的。但是，电工力求获得更高的精度，这一点很重要。通过如下方法可以得到更精确的读数：站在仪表的正前方并且直视面板，如果仪表在刻度后面有一面镜子，调整视角直到在镜子中看不到指针的影子为止。若要得到很高的精度，可以使用数字仪表。 15.When using voltmeters on DC, it is very important to maintain proper polarity. Most DC power supplies and meters are color coded to indicate the polarity. Red indic

27、ates the positive terminal; black indicates the negative terminal. If the polarity of the circuit or component is unknown, touch the leads to the terminals while observing the indicating needle. If the indicating needle attempts to move backwards, the meter lead connections must be reversed. 使用电压表时一定要注意连接极性的正确性。很多直流电源和直流仪表约定了以色彩代表极性
