In this project I would tell about how to measure voltages using arduino , we can

measure up to 25V
In this project we will be using upto 12V.

By digital arduino voltmeter we can measure external voltage using ardunio

Voltage sensors can detect magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, and measure
contact voltage
Voltage sensors measure and communicate electric currents in equipment, devices,
batteries or other sensors. This can help maintenance team identify areas that need
immediate alert to the team of a rising problem.

A voltage sensor is a sensor used to calculate and determine the amount of voltage
in an object. Voltage sensors can monitor the AC voltage or DC voltage level. The
input is the voltage, the output is the switches, analog voltage signal, a current
signal.
It can sense the voltage input into it. If the voltage reaches a certain threshold, then
an indicator, such as an LED, will turn on.

Pins of the Voltage Sensor

It has 5 pins in total.
Two are on the two-pin screw terminal and three are male header pins.
The Screw Terminal pins are marked as VCC and GND and they must be connected to
the external source of voltage means the voltage that needs to be measured.

Talking about the three male headers, they are marked as S, + and –. The S pin is the
Sense pin and it must be connected to the Analog Input of the Arduino. The “–” pin
must be connected to the GND of the Arduino. The pin marked as “+” is not

connected to anything.
VCC: Positive terminal of the voltage to be measured (0-25V)
GND: Negative terminal of the voltage to be measured
S: Analog Input of Arduino
+: Not connected (N/C)
–: GND of Arduino

 Voltage Sensor Module (for < 25V)
 16×2 LCD Display [Buy Here]
 Connecting Wires
 Mini Breadboard
Voltage sensors are wireless tools which can be attached to any number of assets,
machinery or equipment. They provide 24/7 monitoring, constantly watching for
voltage data that could indicate a problem. Low voltage may detect a potential issue,
while other equipments may be in danger when voltage is too high.

It is basically a Voltage Divider consisting of two resistors with resistances of 30KΩ

and 7.5KΩ which is 5 to 1 voltage divider. Hence the output voltage is reduced by a
factor of 5 for any input voltage .

connect vcc of the module to 5v of the Arduino GND to ground of the Arduino and
vout to analogue pin 0 of the Arduino. Once all the connections are made we just
need to upload the code to the Arduino and open the serial monitor and the voltage
will be displayed.

With a slight modification in the code, we can now measure 0 to 12V. Analog value is
read as before, the voltage between 0 and 12V is measured.
value = analogRead(A0); voltage = value * (5.0/1023) * ((R1 + R2)/R2)

Three phase AC voltage

Features of Three Phase AC Voltage Measurement using Arduino:

 Can measure AC voltage of any amplitude.
 Show individual phase voltage.
 LED indication for individual phase voltage.
 For the protection of the control board (Arduino Board), a variable resistor is
used i.e. output voltage must not be more than 4.5V even when Zener diode
burnout.
Applications of Voltage Sensors

 Power failure detection

 Load sensing
 Safety switching
 Temperature control
 Power demand control
 Fault detection

Conclusion

Voltage sensors are inexpensive tools that can make a huge difference in improving
your predictive maintenance program. Voltage sensors are included in many of the
best Arduino starter kits.When used in combination with a reliable CMMS solution,
sensors can provide a wealth of data for your organization. This information can then
help your maintenance management team make strategic decisions about repair,
investments, and process changes.
