GENERAL

A D VA N TA G E S

The electronic high precision standard voltage

divider is designed for use as a variable comparison
standard instead of an inductive standard transformer
for testing high-voltage instrument transformers. It
comprises a capacitive high voltage divider (compressed gas and air capacitors) and an electronic
device.

A universal comparison standard for setting any

transformer ratios within a wide voltage range.
Many instrument transformer types only require a
single standard voltage divider.
Very accurate ( 50 ppm 0.1 min) voltage divider
ratio settings.
Max. measurement voltage only depends on
compressed gas capacitor rated voltage.
Where voltage is less than 1000 V the electronic
device can be used without the capacitive voltage
divider.
Simple use.
A suitable standard for voltage instrument transformer measurement with all Tettex transformer
test sets (2767, 2765, 2711/22 and 2711/23) and
for test sets of many other makers.
The electronic device of series 4860 can directly
replace the earlier electronic device of series 4850
system.
Existing compressed gas capacitors can generally
be equipped to form a complete system.
The complete 4860 system voltage divider is
certifiable.
Remote control possibility via IEEE 488 or
RS 232C interface (optional).
The standard can be combined with a type 2767
transformer test set to form an automatic voltage
instrument transformer test system.
A more cost-effective solution than inductive
standard voltage transformers, especially for high
rated voltage systems.

ARRANGEMENT
High voltage divider unit
The high voltage divider unit comprises
a capacitive high voltage divider (compressed gas standard capacitor C1 and
air capacitor C2) and an electronic device in series, constituting a variable electronic divider (see system diagram).
Capacitive voltage divider C1/C2 divides
the primary voltage Uprim to voltage
U1, which the electronic device matches
to the required secondary voltage Usec.
Voltage instrument transformers of less
than 1 kV primary voltage can be
connected directly to the electronic
system via the adaptor box supplied
with the divider.

Electronic device
The main components of this system are
an input amplifier and a guard-potential
control (up to 1010 V), an electronic
divider and a power amplifier with the
output stage. The instrument is protected against setting errors, overvoltages
and short-circuits. Message errors are
indicated in the dot matrix.

Type 4861 standard version

This version has up to two fixed voltage
divider ratios set by TETTEX Instruments,
which the user cannot change. The
complete standard voltage divider is
therefore certifiable.

Type 4862 customized version

The user can set two different ratios
and change them whenever he likes.
This standard divider is not certifiable.
