A voltage divider circuit assembly includes resistors, an external electrostatic shield, and internal electrostatic shield(s). The resistors are in series with each other between input terminals that receive an input voltage. An external resistor is disposed between sensing terminals that conduct an output voltage that is the input voltage divided by the resistors in the series. The external shield is conductively coupled with the series of the resistors with the external resistor disposed outside of the external shield and the other resistor(s) inside the external shield. The internal shield(s) are conductively coupled with the resistors and disposed inside the external shield. A first internal resistor is disposed inside the external shield and outside of the internal shield(s). One or more remaining resistors are inside the internal shield(s). The shields divide parasitic capacitances to enable the measurement of dynamically changing high voltage input signals.

Provided is a shunt resistor with an enhanced strength and reduced electrical resistance between a resistive element and terminals of the shunt resistor. This shunt resistor includes a first terminal and a second terminal each made of an electrically conductive metal material; and a resistive element disposed between the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal and the second terminal each have a through-hole, and the resistive element is embedded in the through-holes of the first terminal and the second terminal in a depth direction thereof. Regions connecting the resistive element to the first terminal and the second terminal each have an alloy portion formed along an inner peripheral surface of the through-hole.

A shunt resistor capable of reducing an absolute value of a temperature coefficient of resistance is disclosed.

A high voltage impedance device with surface leakage proof configuration is applied in a divider. Aforementioned divider is assembled by a high impedance element, an inner case body and an outer case body. The high impedance element is sealed in the inner case body and a closed interlayer between the inner case body and the outer case body is filled with noble gas as an insulating layer. While the high impedance element is applied in high voltage, the closed interlayer can prevent the current-leakage from forming impedance paralleled with the high impedance element. The current-leakage is formed on the surface of insulting portion, or is formed by moisture, dust or corona effect. Therefore, the current-leakage proof divider may maintain the stability/linearity of the voltage division and then reduce the distance between two ends of the high impedance element effectively and still maintain the linearity of measuring voltage.

A noise-preventing resistor has a structure in which a resistance wire is wound around an outer circumferential surface of a core, cap terminals are attached to either end part of the core, and part of an insulative coating (resin coating) covering the resistance wire and part of the resistance wire positioned underneath the insulative coating are cut, forming peeled regions exposing the resistance wire. As a result, conduction between the cap terminals and the resistance wire in the noise-preventing resistor is ensured.
