Abstract
An extremely stable megavolt (MV) level DC voltage source is the key foundation for many scientific instruments, and the need for accurate measurement and long-term real-time monitoring of its output voltage is increasingly urgent. The utilization of conventional resistive voltage dividers for measurements introduces leakage currents, resulting in considerable measurement errors. The non-contact generating voltmeter (GVM) sensor based on electric field measurement has a simple structure and a low cost, making it expected to be an effective solution. Currently, most research on GVM sensors focuses on the measurement of weak electric fields at kV/m levels with significant interference. In this paper, an improved high-precision non-contact GVM sensor was designed. A DC voltage test platform was built, and the effects of the sampling resistor and motor rotation speed on the measurement results were discussed. The relative combined uncertainty of the improved GVM sensor reached 0.042%, which satisfied the urgent need for MV level DC voltage source measurement. The improved GVM sensor can provide an effective reference for measuring the output voltage of a metal-enclosed MV level DC voltage source or the potential of a suspended electrode.
