Abstract :
The design and construction of two high voltage resistive dividers and an associated automated four terminal resistance ratio bridge are described. Together they allow ratio calibration from 10 V to 1200 V without any power coefficient corrections above the 10 V at 10 k/spl Omega/ level. The bridge may also be used for calibration of resistors at relatively high powers.
