Whoever invented this method must be a genius. This was a portable calibrator for high-voltage partial discharge testing. Because of HV, it was battery powered and insulated from the mains. But sometimes the test signal needs to be phase-locked to the 50/60 Hz AC mains frequency, and the solution was:
