Phasing voltmeter using capacitive reactance

A voltmeter for indicating voltage and phase difference between two power lines, said voltmeter comprising:

• (a) a first probe having a first resistor with a resistance;
• (b) a second probe having a second resistor, said second resistor being in electrical series with said first resistor and having a resistance matched to said resistance of said first resistor;
• (c) a first and a second metering resistor in an electrical series with each other and with and between said first and second resistors, said first metering resistor having a resistance and said second metering resistor having a resistance matched to said resistance of said first metering resistor;
• (d) shielding surrounding said first and second probes and said first and second metering resistors, said shielding being in electrical contact with said electrical series;
• (e) a meter being in electrical connection with said electrical series and having
• (i) a first electrical connection between said first resistor of said first probe and said first metering resistor, said first electrical connection having a first electrical input to said meter,
• (ii) a second electrical connection between said second metering resistor and said second resistor of said second probe, said second electrical connection having a second electrical input into said meter, and
• (iii) a third electrical connection between said first and said second metering resistors, said third electrical connection having a third electrical input to said meter, wherein said meter receives said first, second and third electrical inputs, determines differences in
• (i) said first electrical input and said second electrical input,
• (ii) said first electrical input and said third electrical input, and
• (iii) said third electrical input and said second electrical input, and produces outputs proportional to said differences, so that, when said first probe contacts a first power source and said second probe contacts a second power source, said meter produces said outputs.
