PRECISION VECTOR-DIFFERENCE TRANSFORMER WITH HIGH COMMON-MODE REJECTION

F. Cabiati, U. Pogliano, G. C. Bosco
  • Abstract:
    The problem of obtaining the difference of two AC voltages represented by vectors with arbitrary amplitude and phase at accuracy levels unattainable with electronic amplifiers is addressed. A solution consisting in a precision complex transformer is presented, together with a mathematical model and some preliminary studies of more general interest. A shielded prototype has performed accuracy levels below 1 × 10-6 from 30 Hz to 12 kHz and a common-mode rejection ratio exceeding 140 dB from 800 Hz to 40 KHz.
