Abstract

An RC voltage divider includes a primary part and a secondary part. The secondary part includes at least two equivalent output circuits that are connected in series.

Claims (13)

1. An RC voltage divider, comprising:

a primary part and a secondary part;

said primary part having an input and an output;

said secondary part having an input connected to said output of said primary part;

said primary part including a plurality of capacitive elements adapted to transform a high voltage input signal at said input of said primary part to a low voltage output signal to be fed into said input of said secondary part;

said secondary part including at least two equivalent output circuits being interconnected in series; and

a voltage limiter connected between said two equivalent output circuits.

2. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two equivalent output circuits have substantially identical impedances.

3. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two equivalent output circuits include identical connection schemes.

4. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said secondary part is adapted to process the low voltage output signal of said primary part at said input of said secondary part in order to generate a divider output signal at each of said at least two equivalent output circuits to be processed by at least one of measurement or protection equipment.

5. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said primary part is isolated by an isolating fluid within an encapsulation, and said secondary part is at least partially outside of the isolation and exposable to ambient air.

6. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two equivalent output circuits have outputs, and said secondary part is adapted to cause said output of one of said at least two equivalent output circuits to be influenced by others of said at least two equivalent output circuits by less than 0.2%.

7. The RC voltage divider according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two equivalent output circuits and said primary part are interconnected in series.
