MEASURMENT OF HIGH DC VOLTAGE
1- Very High resistance (few hundred of Mega-ohm) is
connected in series with micro-meter. 2- small amount of current flow in the circuit due to high resistance (range from 1 to 10 mA). 3- the high voltage is 4- the meter resistance is negligible due compared to hundred megaohm resistance. 5- protective device connect in shunt with micro-ammeter to protect the meter from flashover 1- Voltmeter based on voltage dividing principle is used to measure high DC voltage as shown Below. 2- dc voltage voltmeter is connected across low arm resistance High Voltage magnitude is 1- with sudden change in voltage due to switching, short circuit or subject flash over of test object may damage divider elements. 2- voltage controlling capacitor is across the element to avoid sudden change I voltage. 3- Potential divider suitable for 100KV with 0.05% accuracy , 300KV with 0.1% accuracy and 500KV with 0.5% accuracy 1- Used when source loading is to be avoided or there is no way for direct connection. 2- generator voltmeter is variable capacitor electrostatic generator which produce current proportional to applied external voltage. Operation Principle cathode ray oscillograph • MEASURMENT OF HIGH AC VOLTAGE 1- the series impedance may be pure resistance, capacitance or reactance. 2- Pure resistance involve power losses, its value vary with temperature, has residual reactance and may also has residual capacitance.
3 -the impedance of resistance is
4- the ground and stray capacitance influence current flowing in the circuit and may effect meter reading. 5- The equivalent circuit of high resistor elements neglecting inductance and including the ground and stray capacitance is shown in next slide. 6- The circuit of compensated series resistor using guard and tuning resistance is shown in next slide. 1- capacitor divider + matching transformer. 2- C1 made of series equivalent capacitors (100 pF)
High voltage winding rating range (10-
30KV). Low voltage winding rating range (100- 500). the AC voltage value is obtained by combine With capacitive nature test objects (insulator, cable) voltage rise occur in the load side and PT give voltage less than actual voltage across the test object
