AC/DC Test Systems
The LQ Series Sphere Gap Voltmeters utilize matched-diameter spherical electrodes to form an IEC 60052-compliant measurement and protection system when integrated with:
High-voltage test transformers
Control consoles
Voltage regulators
Water resistors
Key functions in power frequency testing:
✅ Direct high-voltage measurement (50/60 Hz AC)
✅ Overvoltage protection for devices under test (DUTs)
✅ Transient suppression via 1-ohm-per-volt protective resistors
