Abstract :
A system for the precise measurement of electrical quantities by means of the rms value of ac voltages or currents is described. The system is implemented by a multijunction thermal converter and low cost electronic circuits. As a first application the system can both carry out ac voltage comparisons and ac and dc voltage measurements.
