How To Work Safely With High Voltage Test & Measurement Equipment

When working with high-voltage test and measurement equipment, electrical and test engineers strive to achieve precise readings while also maintaining a safe work area. They employ external probes such as high-voltage dividers, but these instruments have drawbacks and are prone to errors. This white paper describes an alternative approach to high voltage calibration.

IEC 61169-50:2014, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for type QMA R.F. coaxial connectors with quick lock. The connectors are normally used with 50 Ohms corrugated cable and flexible cables for middle power applications in an operating range up to 6 GHz. It describes the interface dimensions for general purpose connectors with gauging information and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relative to type QMA connectors.”
