Abstract: | The possibilities for adapting the existing electrostatic device known as the voltage balance ETF-84, to work with a voltage of 100 kV and a weight of 1 kg, are considered. A few theoretical analyses, experiments, and computer simulations have been carried out to define the measurement procedure needed at the required level of uncertainty of 1 part in 108. These analyses identified which parts of the balance itself and of the high voltage electrode isolation have to be reconstructed, as well as how the associated high voltage resistor has to be designed for this purpose |
