Voltage Transmitters & Transducers
Voltage transmitters and transducers are critical parts of electrical systems, performing two key functions. First, they measure the voltage across various applications. Second, they make the voltage levels easier to interpret and manage, sending out standard analog or digital signals that are more convenient to work with. These devices are used in what's called "power quality" applications—places where the consistent and accurate measurement of voltage is absolutely vital for safety and operational efficiency. They monitor the performance of power distribution systems and electric motors, and they figure prominently in "energy management" applications where the aim is to keep both electrical systems and the businesses that run them safe and profitable.
In long-distance data transmission or within intricate systems, the input voltage and proportional output of a voltage transmitter are usually well isolated. This good isolation renders the transmitter safe to use and minimizes the chances of data being misinterpreted in a way that could cause any operational problems. Transducers, like transmitters, incorporate good isolation, but they do more than just protect sensitive components from interfering voltages. They condition the signals to make the output of the system much more reliable. Voltage transducers, therefore, help not only in accurately measuring the system variables but also protect the downstream equipment from those same high-voltage signals.
