  • Redundant solution of outputs on a RC voltage divider
    Patent number: 10630074
    Abstract: An RC voltage divider includes a primary part and a secondary part. The secondary part includes at least two equivalent output circuits that are connected in series.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Francesco Piccardo, Christian Weber
  • Method, tool and system for adjusting the accuracy of a voltage divider
    Patent number: 10241135
    Abstract: A method, an adjusting tool system and an accuracy adjustment system are provided for faster and more reliable adjustment of a HV-divider. A secondary unit includes a plurality of electronic components for adjusting a dividing ratio of the voltage divider. The adjusting tool system is connected to the secondary unit. The adjusting tool system evaluates the accuracy of the voltage divider for a plurality of circuit configurations. A circuit configuration interconnects a subset of the electronic components to generate an electronic circuit that influences the dividing ratio of the voltage divider. A circuit configuration that results in a sufficiently accurate dividing ratio is selected. A connector is programmed by the adjusting tool system in such a way that the secondary unit establishes the selected one of the circuits when the connector is connected to the secondary unit. Preferably, the connector is programmed by burning fuses within the connector.
