Abstract

A highly temperature-stable capacitor for taking measurements on a high-voltage line, said capacitor having a high-voltage electrode (HT), an annular printed circuit (CI) surrounding said high-voltage electrode (HT) coaxially and having at least one electrically conductive track that forms a low-voltage electrode (BT), said capacitor being characterized in that the printed circuit (CI) also has at least one temperature-sensitive resistor (TH).

Claims (15)

1. A highly temperature-stable capacitor for taking measurements on a high-voltage line, said capacitor having a high-voltage electrode (HT), an annular printed circuit (CI) surrounding said high-voltage electrode (HT) coaxially and having at least one electrically conductive track that forms a low-voltage electrode (BT), said capacitor being characterized in that the printed circuit (CI) also has at least one temperature-sensitive resistor (TH),

wherein the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) and the track of the low-voltage electrode (BT) are annular tracks that surround the high-voltage electrode (HT).

2. A capacitor according to claim 1 , in which one or more metal screens (EM) is/are interposed between the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) and the high-voltage electrode (HT).

3. A capacitor according to claim 1 , in which the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) is constituted by at least one electrically-conductive track of the printed circuit.

4. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the electrically conductive track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) is a copper track.

5. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (THd, THe) has a shape of the Greek frieze pattern type.

6. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (THb) has long, parallel straight-line segments.

7. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the printed circuit (CI) is a double-sided printed circuit in which at least one track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) is formed on each side of the printed circuit.

8. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the printed circuit (CI) is a multi-layer printed circuit and in which at least one track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) is received on one or more inner layers.

9. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the printed circuit (CI) is a multi-layer printed circuit in which at least one track of the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) is received on one or more outer layers.

10. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the track of the temperature-sensitive resistor and the track of the low-voltage electrode are separated by a guard track connected to a “zero” reference potential.

11. A capacitor according to claim 3 , in which the track of the temperature-sensitive resistor is flanked on either side by a guard track that is connected to a “zero” reference potential.

12. A capacitor according to claim 1 , in which the low-voltage electrode (BT) is coupled to a circuit ( 10 ) which electronically servo-controls its voltage to a reference voltage.

13. A highly temperature-stable capacitor for taking measurements on a high-voltage line, said capacitor having a high-voltage electrode (HT), an annular printed circuit (CI) surrounding said high-voltage electrode (HT) coaxially and having at least one electrically conductive track that forms a low-voltage electrode (BT), said capacitor being characterized in that the printed circuit (CI) also has at least one temperature-sensitive resistor (TH),

wherein one or more metal screens (EM) is/are interposed between the temperature-sensitive resistor (TH) and the high-voltage electrode (HT).
