Measuring sphere spark gaps are mainly used for performance checks of high-voltage measurements according to IEC 60060-2:1994. If the measuring sphere spark gap is equipped with a triggering device, it can also be used as a chopping sphere gap.
Application
Measuring sphere spark gap, horizontal design
- For measuring peak voltages up to 275 kV
- Horizontal design: one sphere is fixed, and the other one can be displaced manually
Measuring sphere spark gap, vertical design
- For measuring peak voltage values up to 750 kV
- Vertical design: the lower measuring sphere is adjusted by means of a
remote-controlled motor drive - The distance between the measuring spheres can be entered and adjusted via a control device
