Product Overview

The Spot Reflective Galvanometer (RG-321) is a highly sensitive optical instrument designed to detect extremely small direct currents with exceptional accuracy. It is widely used as a DC null detector in laboratory and calibration applications, including Kelvin Double Bridge setups, Wheatstone bridges, and potentiometers.

The instrument operates on a reliable mains power supply (220 V AC, 50 Hz) and features a built-in lamp and optical scale. A precision mirror mounted on a taut-band suspended moving coil reflects a bright light beam onto the 150 mm scale, enabling sharp and parallax-free readings. This construction ensures high stability, vibration resistance, and fast response.

Sensitivity can be easily adjusted through a 2-pole, 6-way selector switch, allowing the user to adapt measurements for a wide range of experimental requirements. The center-zero scale with 30-0-30 divisions combined with a convenient zero-adjustment knob ensures fast calibration and precise alignment.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Highly sensitive detection down to 2 µA per small division

  • Clear optical spot display for precise, parallax-free readings

  • Adjustable sensitivity ranges via selector switch

  • Stable taut band suspension for vibration-proof operation

  • Permanent magnetic field for consistent measurement accuracy

  • Built-in lamp and scale system enclosed in a durable bakelite case

  • User-friendly zero adjustment for quick setup


Applications

  • DC null detection in Kelvin Double Bridge (Traditional KDB)

  • Wheatstone bridge measurements

  • Potentiometer calibration

  • Educational laboratories and R&D testing

  • Electrical standards verification

We recommend to use Digital Null Detector instead of Spot Reflecting Galvanometer for checking null detection in Kelvin Double Bridge. As Digital Null Detector comes with 1 year warranty period while for Spot Galvo there is not guarantee due to very sensitive coil.
