Dialogue

 Hi Vlad, what`s up?

- Hi, I`m fine but a little bit busy, and you?
 Oh, I`m cool, just finished my affairs. What you busy with, maybe I can help
you?
- Of course, you can help me! I have to make some small report about Solenoid
voltmeter.
 I know a lot of information on this topic.
- Sounds good. Ok let`s start. I want to divide my report into 3-4 parts. There I
will highlight the main information, such as definition, physical meaning, pros
and cons.
 Yeah cool, it`s really good, what do you know about Solenoid voltmeter?
- I know that solenoid voltmeter is a specific type of voltmeter used by
electricians in the testing of electrical power circuits.
 Ok, what about it’s working principle?
- To be honest, I don’t know how does it works.
 It simply uses a spring-loaded solenoid carrying a pointer. Greater voltage
creates more magnetism pulling the solenoid's core in further against the spring
loading, moving the pointer. A short scale converts the pointer's movement
into the voltage reading.
- I remembered that I have listened on lessons about it. A small permanent
magnet rotor is usually mounted at the top of the meter. For DC, this magnet
flips one way or the other, indicating by the revealed colour (red or black)
which lead of the voltmeter (the red or the black lead) is positive. For AC, the
rotor simply vibrates, indicating that the meter is connected to an AC circuit.
 Yeah, you`re completely right. Let me consider some advantages of solenoid
voltmeter. Firstly, solenoid voltmeters are extremely rugged and not very
susceptible to damage through either rough handling or electrical overload.
Secondly, the probes are very sturdy and they can be stored within the meter's
body. A probe may also be extended from the meter's body, allowing one hand
 to both probe and hold the meter in a useful position. Probes are usually
securely or permanently attached to the unit, so leads are unlikely to slip out if
the tester is dropped. Also the solenoid voltmeter has no switches that can be
set incorrectly, simplifying operation.
- About disadvantages I can say that in contrast to multimeters, solenoid
voltmeters have no other built-in functions; they are just simple, easy-to-use
power voltmeters. Solenoid voltmeters are useless on low-voltage circuits (for
example, 12 volt circuits). The basic range of the voltmeter starts at around
90V (AC or DC). They draw a moderate amount of power from the circuit
under test and are meant for intermittent operation and will overheat if used
continuously.
 It`s good, write about it. Let me tell you the last thing. Solenoid voltmeters
usually have a scale on each side of the pointer; one is calibrated for alternating
current and one is calibrated for direct current. Only one "range" is provided
and it usually extends from zero to about 600 volts.
- Ok, I noted it. I think it will be enough for my report.
 Well, don't forget to make the main theses for yourself to make your speech
report easier.
- Thanks, I'll take that into consideration, I appreciate your help!
 Oh don’t warry about it, just put a beer.
- Okay, thanks one more time!
