Hi Guys,
I had a really weird question asked to me this morning. I know it's not about PLC's but I was wondering if any of you guys may have some knowledge of this. Anyways here is the email.
I want to find out what the voltage reading is across the two electrodes of a Cattle Prod (the kind used to control animals, static charge on contact type) or even a Bark Control Collar device which operates on the same principle, when applied to the animals skin. This of course is a low current, high voltage resultant application. The manufacturer of these items will not divulge this information citing that it is part of the device design confidential information. I have no idea just how high this reading might be but I know that regular volt meters will probably not have a high enough range to handle it. I figure that with all your lab experience you could tell me either how to actually measure the actual voltage on these electrodes......
I told you it was a weird question. I am in no way condoning this type of animal control. It's just a question that was posed to me.
Any thoughts?
