Precision Measurement of High Direct Voltage

Abstract

<p> This thesis describes a new method to measure high direct voltage of the range of 100 KV to 200 KV with very high accuracy. The principle, based on the capacitive divider method, is presented in the first part. </p> <p>This thesis is, however, principally concerned with the design of the low voltage capacitor of the divider and its accuracy. The investigations made lead to an instrument having the accuracy required, which is 0.1 parts per million. </p>
