Hi All,
I've been designing some test setups with voltage sensors and I found that many potentiometers and accelerometer can take a range of voltage supplies (5V to 30V). I'm curious as to if there is a significant benefit to using a high voltage supply (30V) or low voltage supply (5V)? So far, the only thing I can tell is that a high voltage reduces the required current and therefore the size of the wires (and maybe safety). But in the context of sensor performance (accuracy, noise, etc.), is there a reason for choosing a low or high voltage supply?
Thanks!
