Calibrating the voltage meter is essential to maintain the intended measurement performance normally. It is essential to compare and correct the difference between the specified reference value and the measured value. The instrument used shall be capable of providing accurate reference values defined in the International System of Units (SI).
For electrical measurements, a quantum effect standard, called the Josephson voltage standard, is being used as a means of accurately implementing the standard voltage. However, since the limit of the voltage level is only 10V, a voltage divider is used to extend the usable range to 1000V. Among them, a resistor type distributor is generally used.
In the case of a general resistor type distributor, a plurality of resistors are connected in series, an input voltage is applied, and a resistance is distributed. However, even if a resistor is manufactured to have a specific resistance value, an error may occur depending on the manufacturing process. In addition, the actual magnitude of the resistance may vary from the desired value due to various factors such as the magnitude of the test current, the magnitude of the input voltage, the ambient temperature, the pressure, and the humidity. Therefore, even if a specific experiment is performed using a resistor divider, the error may be significant. In addition, correcting these errors is a difficult task that requires considerable effort and time.
Therefore, it is important to develop a voltage divider that can provide a standard voltage defined by an international system of units with little error.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a distribution voltage having an accuracy approximately equal to the standard voltage defined by the international system of units by accurately dividing the input voltage irrespective of the variation of the resistance value.

In an embodiment, the value of the standard output voltage may be an arithmetic mean, a trimmed mean, a weighted mean, a geometric mean, a harmonic mean, ). ≪ / RTI >
As another embodiment, the apparatus may further include a first active guard circuit to an (n + 1) -th active guard circuit disposed around the first resistor to the (n + 1) th resistor.
As another embodiment, the apparatus may further include a rotary switch for rotating the first resistor to the (n + 1) th resistor.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of operating a cyclic voltage divider including first to n + 1 resistors sequentially connected in series to form one closed circuit includes: Selecting an input subset resistor comprising at least one resistor connected in series among the resistors connected in series among the remaining resistances except for the input subset resistor, Applying an input voltage to both ends of the input subset resistor and obtaining a value of a distribution voltage that is a voltage across the output subset resistor; comparing both ends of the input subset resistor and both ends of the output subset resistor To the next resistor to sequentially subtract the value of the divided voltage across the output subset resistor from the half Steps of ever obtained, and may include the step of calculating the value of standard output voltage from the average of the distribution voltage value, or calculate the value of the input voltage from the average of the distribution voltage.

The reason why the experiment is performed using the distributed voltage without performing the experiment directly using the unknown power supply voltage is that there may be various restrictions in the experiment such as the power supply voltage size, the performance of the measuring instrument, and the experimental environment . Therefore, if the cyclic voltage divider according to the embodiment of the present invention is utilized, not only these limitations can be solved, but highly accurate experimental results such as the experiment using the standard voltage can be directly obtained.

Each of the circular conductive rings 220-1 to 220- (n + 1) may be disposed around a node between the resistance and the resistance, as shown in the figure, to maintain the potential of the node at a constant level.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, by accurately dividing the input voltage using the cyclic voltage divider, very accurate experimental results such as the experiment using the standard voltage defined in the International System of Units (SI) can be obtained.
7 is a schematic view illustrating a method of operating the
In step S110, among the plurality of resistors R 1 to R n + 1 constituting the closed circuit, an input subset resistor including at least one resistor connected in series may be selected. For example, if the input subset resistors include one resistor, the ( n + 1 ) th resistor R n + 1 may be selected as the input subset resistor.
In step S120, an output subset resistor may be selected that includes at least one resistor that is sequentially connected (R 1 to R n ) out of the resistances other than the input subset resistor R n + 1 . For example, if the output subset resistors include two resistors, then R 1 and R 2 will be selected as the first output subset resistors.
In step S130, it may be a subset of the input resistance of the voltage across the (R n + 1) is the input voltage (Vs) to the opposite ends and a first output subset resistance (R 1 and R 2) obtained. For example, the value of the voltage across the first output subset resistors R 1 and R 2 may be measured by a meter or the like, or utilized for another measurement.
In step S140, it can be determined whether or not the voltage across both sub-resistors (i.e., R 1 R 2 , R 2 R 3 ... R n-1 R n , . A motion branch may occur according to the determination result. If the measurement is completed (Yes), step S150 is executed. Otherwise (No), the step S160 is executed.
In step S150, the value of the standard output voltage can be calculated from the average of the measured distribution voltages. The calculation of the average value may be performed by any one of an arithmetic mean, a trimmed mean, a weighted mean, a geometric mean, a harmonic mean, or a median But is not limited thereto.
For example, if you want to obtain the same results as those performed by using the standard output voltage specified in the International System of Units, you can perform experiments using voltages across the subset resistors. And, when the average value of the experimental results is obtained, there will be almost no error as the experiment performed using the standard output voltage.
Or conversely, the value of the unknown input voltage can be calculated from the calculated average value.
In step S160, the positions of both ends of the input subset resistor and both ends of the output subset resistor can be moved to the next resistor, respectively. That is, R 1 is selected as the input subset resistor, and R 2 and R 3 can be selected as the output subset resistor. Thereafter, step S130 is executed so that the divided voltage applied across all subset resistors (i.e., R 1 R 2 , R 2 R 3 ... R n-1 R n ) can be measured.
For example, if you want to obtain the same results as those performed by using the standard input voltage specified in the international system, the experiment is first performed using the voltages across the subset resistors. Then, the average value of the experimental results is obtained. From the average of the experimental results, we can obtain the experimental results using the standard input voltage. For example, if the subset resistance consists of two resistors, multiplying the average value of the experimental results by n / 2 will be approximately the same as the experimental result using the standard input voltage.
The reason why the experiment is performed using the distributed voltage without performing the experiment directly using the unknown power supply voltage is that there may be various restrictions in the experiment such as the power supply voltage size, the performance of the measuring instrument, and the experimental environment . Therefore, if the cyclic voltage divider according to the embodiment of the present invention is utilized, not only these limitations can be solved, but highly accurate experimental results such as the experiment using the standard voltage can be directly obtained.
The detailed description of the present invention has been provided for specific embodiments. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can be modified into various forms without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the claims of the present invention as well as the claims of the present invention.
