What is Multiplier Voltmeter?

A multiplier voltmeter is a type of voltmeter that extends its measurement range by incorporating external multiplier resistors or capacitors. These components are connected in series or parallel with the voltmeter to increase its sensitivity or range. This method allows the voltmeter to measure higher voltages than its intrinsic sensitivity would normally permit, making it versatile for various measurement applications where a wide range of voltages need to be measured accurately.
