TRANSDUCER FOR AC VOLTAGE
(True RMS)

The transducer converts an AC voltage into a load independent DC current or voltage signal which may be used to drive a number of remotely installed instruments.

The measuring principle is "true RMS" and this transducer is therefore suitable for distorted and undistorted AC wave measurements.

The normal response time is suitable for indicating instruments and recorders. A lower ripple - slower response version for data loggers can be supplied.

The output is protected against over-voltages due to surges or accidental contact with insulation testers or the mains supply.

MODE OF OPERATION

The voltage to be measured is transformed in VT (1) and converted to DC in the RMS/DC converter(3). The auxiliary supply is transformed in VT (2), rectified and smoothed in (4) and is used to power the convertor (3), output amplifier (5) and to provide the offset voltage for the live zero version. The output amplifier (5) provides either a load independent current (with maximum burden) or a load independent voltage (with minimum burden) signal.
