Abstract
The present disclosure provides an electric fence voltmeter having a peak detection type voltage divider. The peak detection type voltage divider has an extremely simple configuration composed of two capacitor voltage dividers and two rectifier diodes for detecting the positive and the negative peak voltages of a high voltage pulse with an additional pulse state voltage having information on the moments the high voltage pulse starts and peaks. Thus, the voltmeter has reduced number of parts with simplified circuits, and is able to measure the peak voltage accurately with a reliable and efficient manner using the pulse state voltage. Thereby the voltmeter has benefits of improved measurement accuracy, reduced production cost, and low battery consumption.
