4) Operation:
It is assumed that the user is familiar with the safety and cautionary practices required with high
voltage systems and devices. Always exercise extreme caution when working with high voltages.
WARNING: ALWAYS INSURE THAT HIGH VOLTAGE SOURCE IS OFF AND GROUNDED BEFORE
CONNECTING. INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT FROM HIGH VOLTAGE.
To use the divider, connect the green Ground binding post to a secure earth ground common
with the high voltage source. Connect the high voltage input lead wire terminated in a #10 ring terminal
to the high voltage source. Connect the Low and Output binding posts of the KVVB to the meter or
measuring system. Note that output Low is at Ground potential. See figure 1.
The KVVB divider may be operated in any position. Four corner mounting holes can be provided
to accept #10 or M4 screws.
To determine the input voltage from the measured output, use the following formula:
Volts Input = (V Output) x (Divider Ratio)
Example (for KVVB-10-1):
Output
=
0.775 V
Ratio
=
10,000:1
Input
=
0.775 x 10,000 = 7,750 Volts
Care should be taken not to exceed the rated input voltage for the KVVB Divider. Note that the
low terminal is internally connected to ground.
