A highly accurate, guarded series-resistors-type voltage divider has been developed for measuring direct voltages of the range of 10 V to 1000 V. A divider consists of wirewound bobbin resistors which are installed in a temperature regulated oil bath and supplied with 1 mA constant current by the 1000 V of a calibrator. The voltage ratios are determined by a self-calibration technique using 10 V and 100 V reference voltages. Typical relative uncertainty is several parts per 10 7 for self-calibration of voltage ratio of 1000 V to 10 V. A comparison of the voltage ratio calibrations between this system and that of National Metrology Institute of Japan showed a reasonable agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
