Voltage transducers measure current and voltage in electrical circuits, with different types for AC and DC power sources. They come in various sizes and capacities, from small computer circuits to large transformer circuits, and can be used to regulate energy consumption and identify noise sources. They must comply with national electrical component standards and display a CE symbol.
A voltage transducer is an electrical circuit element that measures and monitors the levels of current and voltage leaking and flowing through the circuit, depending on whether the current is AC or DC. If the power supplied to the circuit is alternating current or AC, the voltage transducer will monitor and measure current more easily than voltage, whereas voltage transducers mostly work in conjunction with DC power sources. The measurement capabilities of different voltage transducers differ widely due to the many ranges of their use, from computer circuits to large transformer circuits.
There are several types of transducers. For example, voltage-to-current transducers work by measuring the amount of voltage sent through the transducer and converting it into a regulated amount of current. The purpose is to prevent any of the components in the circuit from overloading or becoming damaged.
Voltage transducers come in a variety of sizes and capacities. Some are capable of measuring and regulating the amount of energy consumed to operate electronic railroads or are used to measure the amount of voltage traveling through the circuits of a transformer. They can be found small enough to measure and delegate the different amounts of voltage across a personal computer’s power supply, ensuring that each separate outlet is receiving the correct amount of voltage. Voltage transducers can also be used in the filtering process to measure the amount of harmonic noise that may be generated by different components when voltage or current is passed through a circuit, as a means of identifying the source of the noise and reducing it.
When used in most industrial applications or settings, voltage transducers can be used in high volume energy uses such as charging stations for large batteries such as for forklifts or railway substations. They are used to measure and differentiate the separate amounts of energy needed for both high voltage power sources and much smaller electronic circuits. Any electrical component, including any type of voltage transducer, must have a label or stamp somewhere on the housing of the unit itself indicating that that particular unit complies with national electrical component standards. This stamp is shown by the display of a large CE symbol on the voltage transducer housing.
