Fig 2. The schematic of the secondary-voltage tester includes an array of voltage dividers (r3-r11) that can be switched in or out of the circuit to test for a range of voltage deviations.

The tester features a pair of powerpole connectors, which are used quite often for connecting HAM gear. A PIC12F675 runs the show, acting as an adjustable comparator for detecting voltage levels.

These variable resistors allow the output voltage to change in response to environmental conditions, such as light or temperature. This makes potential dividers versatile for various applications.

A voltage divider is one of the easiest circuits in the world to analyze. Consider two resistors Ra and Rb in series. Voltage comes in at the top of Ra and the bottom of Rb is grounded.

Voltage and Current divider arrangements are the common in electronic circuits. Before selecting the value of resistors, it is necessary to calculate the voltage and current from the output of a ...

Stackpole recently introduced its RVCU Series high voltage chip resistors, providing design engineers, machine builders and ...

Voltage testers shouldn’t help send electricity flowing into the user. That’s why Klein Tools recalled about 1,757,000 Non-Contact Voltage Testers in the United States and Canada.

This can be measured using a vector network analyzer. Many voltage regulators are of the fixed output variety and include the voltage divider internal to the regulator. There are definite advantages ...

Stackpole Electronic's RVCU high-voltage chip resistors are designed for high-voltage applications that demand precise measurements. Unlike many high-voltage resistors that lack a specified VCR, which ...
