Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A measurement device for measuring voltages along a linear array of voltage sources, such as a fuel cell stack, includes at least one movable contact or non-contact voltage probe that measures a voltage of an array element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of testing a fuel cell stack, comprising: moving at least one voltage probe along the fuel cell stack; and sequentially measuring a voltage of fuel cell stack elements, wherein the at least voltage probe includes at least one contact voltage probe, and wherein moving at least one voltage probe along the fuel cell stack comprises actuating a screw mechanism to impart a vertical linear motion to a carriage to vertically move the carriage along a…
