Abstract
SUMMARYInductive voltage dividers (IVDs) are widely used in the field of ac measurements, such as impedance measurements at audio frequencies. The two‐stage guarded IVD was developed by D.N. Homan and T.L. Zapf about 40 years ago. However, it is not easy to construct a two‐stage guarded IVD. Therefore, we have developed a two‐stage IVD using a special winding method without guarding by magnetic and electrical shields. To reduce the admittances of the winding wires, corrugated polypropylene board is used for the new two‐stage IVD. In addition, the ratio winding and excitation winding are wound toroidally around two FINEMET ring cores using PEW flat cable 0.7 mm in diameter. As a result, the in‐phase ratio errors are within 10−8 of the input at frequencies of 1 kHz or below. In this report, the winding methods and measurement results of the new two‐stage IVD are described.
