Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A voltage detection device is such that an intermediate electrode is provided between a central conductor to which a voltage is applied and a grounded tank to constitute a voltage divider and detects a voltage of the central conductor on the basis of a voltage of the voltage divider. The voltage detection device includes an integration circuit to which a voltage of the voltage divider, which is an output of the voltage divider, is input, an analog circuit that amplifies an output voltage of the integration circuit to a specified amplitude, an amplifier/attenuator to which a voltage of the voltage divider, which is an output of the voltage divider, is input and that amplifies or attenuates the voltage of the voltage divider to the specified amplitude, and an adder that adds an output voltage of the analog circuit and an output voltage of the amplifier/attenuator.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A voltage detection device in which an intermediate electrode is provided between a central conductor to which a voltage is applied and a grounded tank to constitute a voltage divider, and that detects a voltage of the central conductor on a basis of a voltage of the voltage divider, the device comprising: an integration circuit to which a voltage of the voltage divider is input, the voltage divider having a high-pass filter characteristic formed by a stray capacitance between the central conductor and the intermediate electrode, an earth capacitance between the central conductor and the tank, and a voltage dividing resistor connected in parallel with the earth capacitance; a first gain adjusting unit that amplifies an output voltage of the integration circuit to a specified amplitude; a second gain adjusting unit to which a voltage of the voltage divider is input and that amplifies or attenuates the voltage of the voltage divider to the specified amplitude; and an adder that adds an output voltage of the first gain adjusting unit and an output voltage of the second gain adjusting unit. 2. The voltage detection device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the integration circuit, the first gain adjusting unit, the second gain adjusting unit, and the adder is configured from an analog circuit, and the voltage detection device further comprises an A/D converter to which an output voltage of the adder is input.
