Mastering High Voltage: The Importance of Accurate Test Equipment

This whitepaper underscores that precise calibration of high-voltage test gear — especially when measuring 1 kV–150 kV systems — is essential for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. It details measurement techniques (voltage dividers, step-down transformers, etc.), the impact of environmental and connection factors on accuracy, and why traceable calibration (e.g. to NIST / A2LA) is a must to ensure consistent, reliable results.

IEC 60940:2015 provides guidance applicable to information on application of capacitors, resistors, inductors, and complete filter units for electromagnetic interference suppression. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1988. This second edition is a result of maintenance activities related to the previous edition. All changes that have been agreed upon can be categorized as minor revisions.”
