What Is A Voltage Transducer?

 A voltage transducer is a device used to measure the voltage value in a circuit. It can convert the voltage signal to be detected into a signal (such as current, voltage, or frequency) that has a certain relationship with it and is easy to measure and process according to a specific ratio, thereby enabling accurate voltage monitoring.

It is widely used in industrial automation, power systems, electronic equipment testing, new energy vehicles, and other fields.

What are the main categories of voltage transducers?

There are many types of voltage transducers. The following is divided according to the measured voltage type, sensing technology, and output signal type.

Division of measured voltage type

According to the measurement of different voltage types, it can be divided into DC voltage transducers, commonly used in battery systems, solar energy, and electric vehicles, and AC voltage transducers, used in power grids, industrial equipment, and household appliances.

According to sensing technology

Hall effect voltage transducer

The magnetic field generated by the current/voltage is detected by the Hall effect. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the Hall voltage, thereby outputting a voltage signal. It is widely used in industrial automation, power systems, and other fields. For example, the CR5220 DC Hall Effect current transducer is a good choice.


Electromagnetic voltage transducer

Mainly converts high voltage into low voltage through the law of electromagnetic induction, and is only suitable for detecting AC voltage. Mainly used for voltage monitoring and protection in power systems.

Resistive voltage transducer

Resistive voltage transducer is based on physical quantities (such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.), causing resistance changes, thereby detecting voltage through resistance changes and converting them into electrical signals.

Capacitive voltage transducer

Using capacitive coupling technology, voltage can be detected without direct contact (especially for high-voltage AC). It is mostly used in high-voltage lines and smart grid systems.

According to the output signal type

Analog voltage transducer

Analog voltage transducers sense voltage changes through sensing elements and convert them into proportional analog voltage or current signal outputs, which are suitable for power systems, industrial automation, and other fields.

Digital voltage transducer

Through the built-in analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit, the analog voltage signal is converted into digital code (such as binary data) for accurate processing by microprocessors or digital systems.
