Measurement of High Voltage


High Voltage Measurement

High voltages can be measured in a variety of ways. Direct measurement of high voltages is possible up to about 200 kV, and several forms of voltmeters have been devised which can be connected directly across the test circuit. High Voltages are also measured by stepping down the voltage by using transformers and potential
dividers. The sparkover of sphere gaps and other gaps are also used, especially in the calibration of meters in high voltage measurements. Transient voltages may be recorded through potential dividers and oscilloscopes. Lightning surges may be recorded using the Klydonograph.
