Voltage in an electrical network can be calculated based on its RMS (Root Mean Square) value. RMS voltmeters are used for measuring the complex waveforms accurately.
A thermocouple is a combination of 2 different metals that are arranged to form a junction in between them. Another thermocouple called as the balancing thermo-couple is also used.
A true RMS reading voltmeter uses two thermocouples in order to “overcome the difficulty that arises due to the non-linear behavior of the thermo-couple”.
The non-linear effects of the balancing thermo-couple cancels the similar non-linearity of the input circuit thermocouple.
