Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of the new approach to the measurement methodology of significant values (in order of hundreds of kA) and huge steepness (in order of MA/μs) current pulses based on current dividers along with a comparison of the various types transducers suitability in measuring systems with such extreme parameters. Such dividers are used to extend the measurement ranges of current transducers with limited current conversion capabilities. The results of the selected current dividers field-circuit simulations have been presented, including their attributes and potential application as an important elements of the high-current measurement circuits. The physical prototypes of dividing systems have been verified using an experimental high-power pulse generation and forming system based on the flux compression generator and ultra-fast fuse-opening switch. As the additional aim of this study, the dividers current ratio error compensation method based on the general field-circuit model of current divider has been proposed.
