Electrical Potential Analog To Digital Converter

A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure voltage between two points in a circuit. Analog voltmeters use a moving pointer on a scale proportionate to voltage, while digital voltmeters provide a numerical voltage reading using an analog-to-digital converter. Voltmeters come in various styles including portable multimeters for electrical work and fixed panel meters for monitoring equipment. They can measure a wide range of voltages with differing accuracies depending on the intended use.

A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in

an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the
circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog to digital converter.
A voltmeter in a circuit diagram is represented by the letter V in a circle.
Voltmeters are made in a wide range of styles. Instruments permanently mounted in a panel are
used to monitor generators or other fixed apparatus. Portable instruments, usually equipped to also
measure current and resistance in the form of a multimeter, are standard test instruments used in
electrical and electronics work. Any measurement that can be converted to a voltage can be
displayed on a meter that is suitably calibrated; for example, pressure, temperature, flow or level in a
chemical process plant.
General purpose analog voltmeters may have an accuracy of a few percent of full scale, and are
used with voltages from a fraction of a volt to several thousand volts. Digital meters can be made
with high accuracy, typically better than 1%. Specially calibrated test instruments have higher
accuracies, with laboratory instruments capable of measuring to accuracies of a few parts per
million. Meters using amplifiers can measure tiny voltages of microvolts or less.
