Damped-Capacitive Impulse Divider
Type CR
Application
Design
The damped-capacitive impulse voltage dividers
series CR can be used to measure full lightning
impulse voltages, tail chopped impulse voltages,
switching impulses and AC voltages.
Depending on the voltage rating, the high voltage part of
the dividers consists of one or several oil-filled capacitors
which are housed in cylinders made from glass fibre
reinforced epoxy resin. The damping resistance is
inserted between the capacitor elements of the unit and
acts as distributed internal resistive element. External
damping resistances are used also above 1600 kV
(included).
Above 1000 kV (included) the dividers are equipped with
toroidal HV electrodes to guarantee discharge-free
operation. The electrode is designed depending of the
rated L.I. and negative S.I. levels.
The secondary unit consists of a capacitor and a damping
resistor of low inductance both arranged in a coaxial
design. The unit is fixed at the bottom of the divider and
can easily be exchanged.
The voltage divider is erected on a four-arm base
equipped with castors. It is designed for indoor design.
They meet all requirements of IEC 60060-2 (1994),
in particular those with respect to measuring
accuracy and step response. Furthermore, all HV
tests are carried out in accordance to the applicable
IEC 60060-2 requirements (up to the limits imposed
by our test system & premises). They can be used
as a basic load for impulse voltage generators.
The type designation consists of the characters CR
and two figures, e.g. CR 1200-700. The first figure
indicated the rated L.I. voltage in kV, the second the
primary capacitance in pF.
