AC-DC transfer standard overload protection circuit

摘要

An overload protection circuit for an AC-DC transfer standard employing a thermoelement comprising a heater element and a temperature sensor. A first differentiator provides an output that is a function of the voltage across the heater element. A second differentiator produces an output that is a function of the output of the first differentiator. Further including a circuit creating an overload signal provided, which is responsive to the outputs of the first and second differentiators.
