Abstract

See full text

A relatively large protection resistor is connected between the measurement in-out terminal and the internal circuitry of a digital multimeter. A clamping circuit at the input to the internal circuitry insures that any voltage applied to the input terminal will be dropped across the protection resistor, thereby avoiding an over-voltage condition which could damage the internal circuitry. A resistive divider network used to make measurements is connected between the protection resistor and the clamping circuit and is designed to take the protection resistor into account during measurements.
