Chinese Technology Demonstrated: Handy Voltmeter for the Power Industry.


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 1996--The China-America Technology Corp. (CTC CTC - Cornell Theory Center ) has announced the successful testing today of a new lightweight high voltmeter from China that can measure up to 35,000 volts, both AC and DC, and gives the phase comparator comparator

Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies.

The test was conducted at EPRI's EHV EHV

The voltmeter was invented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) (Simplified Chinese: 中国科学院; Pinyin: Zhōngguó Kēxuéyuàn), formerly known as Academia Sinica  and is one of the first items to be published by CTC in its new ChinaTech Listing. The device has attracted considerable interest because of its uniqueness and numerous potential uses by manufacturers and electric utilities, among others.

The invention combines advances in electronics with insulation material and new technology in electricity, resulting in a lightweight, handy voltmeter probe that can be used safely by the maintenance workers in the field.

The voltmeter gives digital readout (1) A small display device that typically shows only a few digits or a couple of lines of data.

 on the voltage, as well as phase comparators that are vital to the safe operation of generators and transformers. These readings can be taken without having to shut down power lines to protect maintenance workers.

"In this day and age of increasing world competition and limited resources, CTC provides an economical range of services that complement and augment the R&D efforts by U.S. companies," said Professor Chang of City College's Physics Department, who heads CTC. CTC is the outgrowth of a 15 year relationship between City College of CUNY CUNY City University of New York  and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Chang has been Director of the CCNY-China Exchange Program since its inception. Under a new agreement, signed in April, 1995, the two institutions will cooperate to promote technology transfer. CTC was established by CCNY CCNY City College of New York (obsolete)
CCNY Collector's Club of New York (philatelic group) 
 to implement the agreement.

CTC has already published two issues of the ChinaTech Listing, with over 40 innovations and products from China. The listings feature concise non-technical descriptions for busy executives.

Other items in the ChinaTech Listing that have sparked interest include a powerful Helium-Neon Laser, new patch medicine technology with a programmable dosage delivery; a device that removes ozone from duplicating and printing machines; and an improved indoor air cleaning system.
