Type 1454-AH is a four-stage voltage divider using the [[wikipedia:Kelvin–Varley divider|Kelvin–Varley divider]] circuit. The use of four special [[510|Type 510 resistance units]] achieve this. It features a constant 100 kΩ input resistance with a maximum input voltage 700 V at audio frequencies. | |||
Applications for the 1454-AH include voltmeter calibration, measurements of gain and attenuation, and turns ratio of transformers. | Applications for the 1454-AH include voltmeter calibration, measurements of gain and attenuation, and turns ratio of transformers. | ||
Type 1454-AH is identical to the Type [[1454-A]] except that all resistance values are increased by a factor of 10. Ungrounded or grounded operation is possible with a link at the input terminals. | |||
