Abstract

See full text

A voltage measuring circuit includes a rectifier to receive an alternating current (AC) voltage to be measured and to provide a rectified output; a comparator for comparing the rectified output and producing therefrom a square wave having a pulse width indicative of the rectified output exceeding a threshold; a calculation circuit for converting a measurement of the pulse width into a measurement of the voltage and optionally an opto-isolator interconnecting the comparator to the calculation circuit. The rectifier may provide operating power to the comparator and an input side of the opto-isolator, from the AC voltage signal being measured. The remainder of the measuring circuit may powered by a source isolated from the voltage to be measured.
