G01R

MEASURING ELECTRIC VARIABLES; MEASURING MAGNETIC VARIABLES (indicating correct tuning of resonant circuits H03J3/12)

Description

G01R covers instruments and methods for measuring electrical quantities (voltage, current, resistance, power, energy, frequency, phase) and magnetic properties (magnetic field strength, flux density, permeability). This subclass encompasses analog and digital measuring devices, meters, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and associated test equipment used in electrical installations, power systems, and electronic circuits. The classification includes both direct measurement techniques and indirect determination of electrical parameters through calculation or conversion. Adjacent classes G01P (velocity/acceleration measurement) and G01N (materials testing) address mechanical motion and material properties respectively, while G01R focuses exclusively on electromagnetic variables.
