Design of a Two Levels Self-Integrating Capacitive Divider

A ims . A kind of two levels self-integrating capacitive voltage divider is designed to online measure high voltage nanosecond pulse. Methods. The circuit principle of capacitive divider is analyzed, and the theoretical voltage ratio is calculated. The calibration is carried out by using a low voltage pulse source. The divider with a primary voltage divide ratio 601 has been tested to frequency response exceed 1GHz. The second voltage divide ratio can be set flexibly using different ratio attenuators according to the different voltage level of the source. Result. Finally, this divider is used in measuring 600kV high voltage pulse source, and the experimental results show that the present coaxial capacitive divider is reliable and satisfactory for the measuring requirement in time domain and frequency domain.
