RSP High Voltage Divider – High Voltage Measurement & Testing System

The RSP High Voltage Divider by Rathod Services Pune (RSP) is a precision high-voltage measurement instrument designed to reduce high voltage to a safe, measurable level for compatible measuring instruments and test systems.

The divider operates on the principle of voltage division, allowing high-voltage levels to be measured indirectly by obtaining a proportional low-voltage output. It is suitable for high-voltage testing, calibration, electrical laboratories, research and industrial measurement applications.

RSP High Voltage Dividers are available for high-voltage ranges such as 100 kV, 200 kV and 300 kV, depending on the selected configuration.

How Does a High Voltage Divider Work?

A high-voltage divider consists of precision impedance elements arranged so that an applied high voltage is divided into a smaller, proportional voltage.

The basic principle is:

High Voltage Input → Voltage Divider → Reduced Voltage Output → Measuring Instrument

For example, if a divider has a known ratio of 1000:1, an input of 100 kV would theoretically correspond to a 100 V output:

100,000 V ÷ 1000 = 100 V

The measuring instrument can then measure the lower voltage and, using the specified divider ratio, determine the corresponding high-voltage value.

Important: The actual divider ratio, maximum permissible voltage, accuracy, frequency response, insulation level and output voltage must be determined from the specific RSP model’s technical specifications.

Construction of RSP High Voltage Divider

The RSP High Voltage Divider shown in the image consists of several important sections.

1. High-Voltage Divider Assembly

The central vertical cylindrical assembly forms the primary high-voltage measurement/division section. Its insulated construction is intended for high-voltage testing environments.

2. High-Voltage Connection

The upper connection provides the high-voltage input/interface according to the specified test configuration.

3. Output Terminals

The lower section contains dedicated electrical terminals for connecting the divider output to compatible measurement equipment.

4. Internal Connection Diagram

A schematic diagram is provided inside the enclosure to illustrate the intended connection between the high-voltage test equipment, divider/detector arrangement and earth.

5. Protective Enclosure

The complete assembly is housed in a rigid, portable enclosure designed to organize the high-voltage measurement components and connections.

Available Voltage Ranges

RSP High Voltage Divider configurations can be specified for different maximum voltage levels:

The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the test voltage, measurement system and required divider ratio.

Applications of High Voltage Divider

The RSP High Voltage Divider can be used in:

High-Voltage Testing

For measurement of high-voltage outputs during electrical equipment testing.

Calibration & Verification

Used as part of suitable high-voltage calibration and measurement systems for verifying high-voltage measuring instruments.

Electrical Laboratories

Suitable for laboratory experiments and controlled high-voltage measurement applications.

Power Equipment Testing

Can be incorporated into test systems for evaluating electrical equipment and high-voltage components.

Research & Development

Useful for engineering and research applications involving high-voltage measurement and electrical testing.

Industrial Testing

Suitable for industrial test facilities where controlled high-voltage measurements are required.

Why Use a High Voltage Divider?

Direct measurement of very high voltage with conventional measuring instruments is generally impractical and potentially hazardous. A properly designed high-voltage divider provides a known proportional reduction that allows the voltage to be measured using an appropriate low-voltage measuring system.

A high-voltage divider can therefore help to:

• Measure high voltage through a proportional output.
• Interface high-voltage test systems with suitable measuring instruments.
• Support high-voltage calibration and verification.
• Improve repeatability of high-voltage measurements.
• Facilitate laboratory and industrial testing.
