In this paper, a capacitive voltage divider for the measurement of very high voltage transients in liquid-filled transmission lines has been developed, suitable for pulse lengths in the range 10 nsec to 1 μsec, and peak voltages between 50 kV and 10 MV.
Abstract
A capacitive voltage divider for the measurement of very high voltage transients in liquid‐filled transmission lines has been developed. The probe is suitable for pulse lengths in the range 10 nsec to 1 μsec, and peak voltages between 50 kV and 10 MV. The divider automatically compensates for changes in dielectric constant and loss.
