Operating principle:
The unit of direct current (DC) voltage is generated using the quantum Josephson effect, relying on fundamental physical principles: the electron charge and Planck's constant. DC voltage is generated by converting the microwave signal irradiating a Josephson junction chip according to the Josephson equation:
U=NF/KJ,
where N is the number of Josephson stages, F is the irradiation frequency, and KJ is the Josephson constant.

Unique technical installations as part of the standard:
- The MN-2 quantum voltage measurer uses a superconducting Josephson integrated circuit of the hysteresis type SIS (superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction), implementing the Josephson effect at liquid helium temperatures. It reproduces voltages from 1 mV to 10 V;
- The MN-3 quantum programmable voltage measurer uses a superconducting Josephson integrated circuit of the anhysteresis-free SNS (superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junction), implementing the Josephson effect at liquid helium temperatures. The reproducible voltage ranges from 1 mV to 10 V;
- Microcircuit control units provide control of the microcircuits. The MN_3 control unit enables communication with measuring equipment, enables automated verification and calibration of measuring instruments, and provides the ability to measure alternating voltage up to 7 V with a frequency of up to 1 kHz;
- A shielded chamber to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields and the Earth's magnetic field;
- Dewar flasks for liquid helium with a capacity of 65 and 100 liters to ensure the necessary temperature conditions for Josephson microcircuits (cryogenic temperatures, T = 4.2 K).
