Figure 4-2 : Automatic DCC Bridge Balance
4.1.3. Automatic direct-current-comparator bridge balance.
With reference to Figure 4-2 , at the ampere-turn balance point, if:
Nx = number of turns in variable comparator winding
Ns = number of turns in slave fixed comparator winding
Is = current in the slave winding and Rs
Ix = current in the variable comparator winding and Rx
Vd = bridge voltage imbalance
Ic = core offset current
and:
Vos = the combined offset due to thermal voltage
