Abstract :
Resistive dividers have the advantages of DC response and stability. However unlike capacitive dividers, they inevitably involve power dissipation and also generally involve an appreciable inductance. These aspects of a resistive divider result in transient errors, i.e., errors which are a function of the applied waveform. This paper discusses transient measurement errors of precision high voltage resistive dividers such as the one developed by NIST
