Component Specifications

Definition
A high-voltage terminal is a critical electrical component designed to connect high-voltage conductors to voltage measurement dividers or other equipment. It provides a secure, insulated interface that prevents electrical arcing, corona discharge, and leakage currents, while maintaining precise voltage division ratios for measurement accuracy. Typically used in power transmission, substations, and industrial high-voltage testing setups.
Working Principle
The terminal operates by providing a low-resistance, high-integrity connection point for high-voltage conductors. It incorporates insulation materials and geometric designs (e.g., smooth surfaces, rounded edges) to control electric field distribution, minimizing stress concentrations. In voltage dividers, it ensures the input high voltage is accurately divided down to a measurable low voltage without introducing significant impedance or distortion.
Materials
Conductor: Oxygen-free high-conductivity copper or aluminum alloy, often silver-plated for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. Insulation: High-dielectric-strength materials such as porcelain, epoxy resin, silicone rubber, or PTFE, rated for continuous operation at specified voltages (e.g., 10 kV to 500 kV). Housing: UV-resistant polymer or composite materials for outdoor durability.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP65 or higher for outdoor use
  • Current Rating 1-10 A (depending on design)
  • Voltage Rating Up to 300 kV AC/DC
  • Connection Type Threaded stud, clamp, or bolted
  • Temperature Range -40°C to +85°C
  • Dielectric Strength Withstands 2x rated voltage for 1 minute
  • Insulation Resistance >1000 MΩ at 500 V DC
Standards
ISO 9001, IEC 60243, IEEE 48
