VOLTAGE MEASURING UNITS (VMU)

Product Details & Applications

VMUs measures voltage with optical isolation mainly applicable for High Voltage systems. It’s primary role in High voltage power supply is to monitor voltage fast dynamics during No Load condition. It provides additional digital event for Over voltage detection. It provides slow and accurate measurement for real time control system.
