EXAMPLE OF EQUIPMENT USED AT LARGEST RESEARCH INSTITUTION IN CANADA DURING PERIOD OF ITS MOST RAPID GROWTH, GREATEST PRODUCTIVITY & DURING WHICH IT DEVELOPED WORLD RENOWNED REPUTATION.
Function
CALIBRATED INSTRUMENT USED TO MEASURE ALTERNATING CURRENT VOLTAGE, OR POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS.
Technical
ACCORDING TO ONE DISTRUBUTOR, THIS AC VOLTMETER IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IN CIRCUITS WHERE LIMITED AMOUNT OF POWER IS PRESENT & MAKES EXCELLENT OUTPUT METER WHEN USED WITH PROPER CONDENSER. WIDE VARIETY OF RANGES COVERS BOTH PRIMARY & SECONDARY VOLTAGE RANGES OF TRANSFORMERS USED IN RADIOSETS, TOYS, APPLIANCES (REF 1).
