Abstract

In high-voltage technology, plasma physics and power electronics low-ohmic resistors are frequently employed to measure high, rapidly changing currents. Their voltage drop is adversely affected by stray inductances and skin effect. A more complete analysis of low- ohmic tubular type and squirrel cage type resistors including such effects is presented. This paper also develops a compensation network of passive electronic components that permits improved measurement of high energy impulse currents.
