Inductive voltage divider
Abstract
A new diagnostic for measuring pulsed high voltage is proposed, and its characteristics are discussed. The device consists of a small helical coil having a measurable, relatively constant inductance, L. A nearby probe measured I-dot, the time rate of change of current carried by the coil. The voltage to be measured is then the product L times I-dot. This paper discusses the constraints imposed by time resolution and by the necessity to prevent turn-to-turn flashover.
