Abstract:
An apparatus for determining potentiometer indexed position is disclosed. The apparatus (100) comprises at least one potentiometer having a resistance R, a resistance R1 from a first end of the potentiometer to its wiper, and a resistance R2 from a second end of the potentiometer to its wiper; a capacitor (C); and a microcontroller (M) adapted to alternately put said resistances R1 and R2 in a circuit to obtain time (t 1 ) required for said capacitor to charge and time (t 2 ) required for said capacitor to discharge, to determine said potentiometer indexed position using equation [t 1 /(t 1 i+t 2 )]*total number of said potentiometer indexed positions.

Abstract:
A current transformer system with characterization is disclosed. The current transformer system (100) comprises at least one current transformer unit (102) generating a secondary current output (112) relative to a primary current input (110), and a characterizing circuit (104) storing a set of characteristics measured under test conditions in a memory of the characterizing circuit which characteristics represent the relation between the primary current input (110) and the secondary current output (112) of the current transformer unit (102) under various operating conditions, the characterizing circuit (104) further communicating at least one of the characteristics via the communication interface (106) to an onward device to allow dynamic compensation for any errors in the characteristics of the at least one current transformer unit (102) at the device.
