ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring and displaying the sag and surge voltage values of an AC power supply. Two inputs are attenuated, filtered and the peak difference is converted to a binary number by an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. A digital comparator compares these conversions with the values stored in a maximum and minimum register. If the output of the A/D is larger than the contents of the maximum register, the previous maximum register's contents are replaced by the A/D output. If the output of the A/D is smaller than the contents of the minimum register, the previous minimum register's contents are replaced by the A/D output. Dual light emitting diode displays provide a numerical readout of the contents of the maximum and minimum registers.
