Stangenes Industries builds high-quality voltage dividers used to measure pulse voltages of up to 800 kV. Our premium voltage dividers can be constructed in a wide array of shapes and sizes to meet our client’s unique project specifications and voltage requirements.
We produce two voltage divider types: capacitive voltage dividers and compensated resistive voltage dividers.
Understanding Capacitor Voltage Dividers
A common resistor circuit, referred to as a voltage divider, can be differentiated as follows:
- Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) composed of capacitors
- Resistive Voltage Divider (RVD) composed of resistors
Capacitive Voltage Dividers
A voltage divider is a passive linear circuit that creates an output voltage at a fraction of the input voltage. It is possible to produce this type of circuit using either reactive components or fixed-value resistors.
Stangenes Industries offers capacitive voltage dividers (also known as voltage monitors) specially created for monitoring and diagnostic applications. An inductor or capacitor is needed for the output to have features of the derivative or integral of the input.
Compensated Resistive Voltage Dividers
Ensuring an accurate voltage measurement can be challenging, but a Stangenes voltage divider can do just that within 1% accuracy. Our voltage dividers translate high voltage into a corresponding low, readable voltage that allows you to safely and consistently measure voltage in a system.
At Stangenes Industries, we rely on resistive voltage dividers based on resistor components for low-power applications. We detail the modification an output load provides, the existence of voltage network dividers, and the demonstration of the output voltage formulas. Multiple resistors can be interconnected in the series to simultaneously provide varying voltage outputs.
Capacitive Voltage Dividers and Custom Resistive Voltage Dividers
Stangenes Industries can manufacture premium voltage dividers in almost any size or shape, with customization available for units exceeding the 800 kV threshold. The types of customization are similar between RVDs and CVDs and are tailored to meet your unique project specifications.
We are often asked to customize a voltage divider ratio to attain the customer’s desired signal range. For example, if a customer wants to generate a 10-volt signal from a 100 kV transformer, they would request a 10000:1 ratio. Options are also available for other insulating mediums, such as air-insulated or SF6 gas.
Voltage Divider Applications
A voltage divider is essential for adjusting signal levels in high voltage circuits. It can enable level shifting to allow for safe voltage measurement, such as converting a 5 kV signal to 5 V.
Voltage dividers from Stangenes Industries are an optimal choice for the following applications:
- High Voltage Measurement. Voltage dividers can scale down high voltages to fractions measured in voltmeters. The device uses the high voltage to power the divider’s input (VIN) and produce an output within an acceptable range. High-voltage resistor divider probes can accurately measure voltages up to hundreds of kilovolts.
- Monitoring. Capacitor voltage dividers (voltage monitors) are specially designed for monitoring and diagnostic applications. These devices can convert a multi-kilovolt signal into a low-voltage output signal readable on an oscilloscope or other monitoring device.
Advantages of a Capacitive Voltage Divider
The primary advantage of using a capacitive voltage divider is the stability, accuracy, and precision created by the low-temperature coefficient of the capacitor elements. Capacitive voltage dividers are ideal for pulsed power applications.
A capacitor voltage divider can be used in a broad range of operating temperatures, offering the following benefits:
- Fast Settling Times. Offers faster settling times than resistive voltage dividers, making them ideal for applications requiring a rapid response
- Reduced Resistance. Has less resistance compared to resistors, which translates to a reduced dissipation of waste energy as heat
- Optimized Precision and Accuracy. Provides exceptional precision and accuracy compared to resistors and other voltage dividers
- Low Power Consumption. Optimal choice for low-voltage applications, requiring minimal power to function
- Good Noise Immunity. Allows for proper functioning, even in electrically noisy surroundings
- High Input Impedance. Can measure small signals in noisy circuits
