  • Publication number: 20180316347
    Abstract: A switching circuit includes a bridge rectifier to receive voltage inputs and an optical isolator to receive a logic input signal and generate an output signal based on the logic input signal. The high speed switching circuit also includes a field effect transistor (FET) with a source connected to a negative output of the bridge rectifier, a drain connected to a positive output of the bridge rectifier through a load, and a gate driven by the output signal of the optical isolator. First and second resistors connect the voltage inputs to the gate of the FET through first and second diodes. The first and second resistors and the first and second diodes limit current flowing to the gate of the FET. A Zener diode connected to the gate of the FET limits voltage to the gate of the FET below a maximum voltage rating of the FET.

  • Publication number: 20180136259
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring alternating current (AC) voltage of an insulated conductor are provided, without requiring a galvanic connection between the conductor and a test electrode. A non-galvanic contact voltage measurement device includes a conductive sensor, an internal ground guard, and a reference shield. A reference voltage source is electrically coupleable between the guard and the reference shield to generate an AC reference voltage which causes a reference current to pass through the conductive sensor. Sensor subsystems may be arranged in layers (e.g., stacked layers, nested layers, or components) of conductors and insulators. The sensor subsystems may be packaged as formed sheets, flexible circuits, integrated circuit (IC) chips, nested components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), etc. The sensor subsystems may be electrically coupled to suitable processing or control circuity of a non-contact voltage measurement device to allow for measurement of voltages in insulated conductors.

  • Publication number: 20180136257
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide measurement of alternating current (AC) electrical parameters in an insulated wire without requiring a galvanic connection between the insulated wire and a test probe. Measurement systems or instruments may include a housing that includes both a non-contact voltage sensor and a non-contact current sensor. The measurement system obtains measurements from the voltage sensor and the current sensor during a measurement time interval and processes the measurements to determine AC electrical parameters of the insulated wire. The AC electrical parameters may be presented to an operator via a visual indicator device (e.g., display, lights). The AC electrical parameters may additionally or alternatively be communicated to an external device via a wired and/or wireless communications interface.
