In the real world, microcontrollers like Arduino can only handle up to 5V (or 3.3V) on their analog pins. To measure higher DC voltages or AC mains, you need a sensor to "step down" that voltage. Simulating this helps you:
Proteus components can simulate up to 1kV theoretically, but voltage dividers must handle power dissipation. Stick to <50V for accuracy.
This configuration uses a 5:1 ratio. It steps down a 0–25V input into a safe 0–5V output, making it perfectly compatible with an Arduino analog pin. Interfacing a Voltage Sensor with Arduino in Proteus voltage sensor proteus library
Since Proteus doesn’t include every third-party module, you often need to download a .LIB and .IDX file. 1. Downloading the Files
Connect the VCC and GND of the sensor to the 5V power supply.
: Copy both the .LIB and .IDX files and paste them directly into the LIBRARY folder.

: If the library component is purely visual and lacks a underlying SPICE or VSM model, Proteus will throw an error upon clicking play. To fix this, build an ideal equivalent circuit using an internal DC Voltmeter or a manual Resistor Divider network to drive the simulation logic.
Use the VSINE generator tool to simulate standard AC mains. Set the amplitude to 311V (for 220V RMS) and frequency to 50Hz or 60Hz .
The INA219 is an I2C-based sensor that measures both high-side current and voltage, making it perfect for complex Proteus simulations.
