The converter has been designed to convert the true R.M.S. value of
an AC signal into a unified-range DC voltage/current. The converter input includes a measuring transformer. It isolates
the input circuit from the converter itself and converts the input signal into a voltage, which is suited for further
processing. After full-wave rectification, R.M.S. value calculation and subsequent smoothing out, a DC voltage is created
at the output. An optocoupler is used to isolate the voltage input. The R.M.S. value is calculated in a monolithic
converter made by Analog Devices. Both the input and the output circuit are overload-protected.
This converter is also suited for handling the inputs whose waveforms are heavily
distorted. It can even be applied in control systems including frequency converters or other non-linear control elements.
Mean value converters may generate errors amounting to several tens of percent when distorted waveform signals are measured.
The table below shows a comparison between the mean and true R.M.S. value measurements for waveforms showing various
distortion factors. |
