The Design and Self-Calibration of Inductive Voltage Dividers for an Automated Impedance Scaling Bridge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and construction of inductive voltage dividers (IVDs) for use in impedance bridge applications in the 50 Hz to 1 MHz frequency range is described. Two dividers are described; one designed to operate from 50 Hz to 2 kHz and the other designed to operate from 2 kHz to 1 MHz. Preliminary comparison results of the new IVDs over the 100 Hz to 50 kHz frequency range are given. A new bridge to self-calibrate the IVDs is also described. The bridge is based on the straddling method and has been designed to characterize IVDs over the 50 Hz to 100 kHz frequency range.

Electronic compensation of inductive voltage dividers and standard voltage transformers
A new compensating system is proposed to reduce the ratio error and the phase error of inductive voltage dividers and standard voltage transformers, operating at no load. An electronic amplifier reduces the input current, which is the main cause of error in low-frequency applications, while at the same time the input impedance is greatly increased.
متن کاملCalibration of Multi-decade Inductive Voltage Dividers
Abstract: A method for calibrating multi-decade inductive voltage dividers has been developed which makes it possible to determine both the inphase and the quadrature error for ratios of i /11, i = 1, 2, ..., 10 in the frequency range from 400 Hz to 5 kHz. Calibration is made by comparing the divider under test against a reference two-stage divider having a ratio winding with 11 identical secti...

Linear AC power supplies can be replaced by their nonlinear switching counterparts due to the lower voltage drops and higher efficiency and power density of switching-mode inverters. Multilevel cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are the preferred inverter structure because of modular configuration, control, and protection. The output voltage quality in CHB converters depends on the number of ou...
