DC Voltage Divider

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the design and specifications of compensated resistive voltage dividers (RC-Divider) used in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. These dividers are crucial for measuring high DC voltages with high accuracy and stability.
Specifications: The RC-Divider is designed to handle a primary voltage range from 1 kV to 800 kV and a rated current of 1 mA or 0.5 mA. It offers a typical accuracy of 0.4% to 1% measured, with a calculated accuracy of 0.1%. The temperature coefficient is 15 ppm/°C, and the voltage coefficient is 1 ppm/°C. The device maintains long-term stability with an accuracy drift of 0.002% per year.
Design Features: The RC-Divider uses high-precision, low-inductance resistors connected in series, with grading capacitors parallel to the resistors for transient protection and ripple measurement. It features a fast response time and a wide frequency response up to 10 kHz. The divider is available in different configurations, including composite and porcelain insulators, and can be mounted indoors or outdoors.
Testing and Standards: The RC-Divider undergoes various routine and type tests, including resistance and capacitance measurement, DC and AC voltage withstand tests, and impulse voltage tests. Although there is no standard for RC dividers, tests are defined based on experience and customer collaboration.
Applications: The RC-Divider is used for precise voltage measurement in HVDC systems, offering features like long-distance signal transmission, fine calibration, and protection against electromagnetic waves. It supports multiple independent measurements and is insensitive to guided electromagnetic interference.
