A small 71.8 mm x 127 mm (2.83'' x 5'') capacitive voltage divider is described that is used for measuring waveforms in the 200 kilovolt range with durations of tens of microseconds. The device, immersed in a dielectric fluid, works over the temperature range of 219 to 347/sup 0/K (-65 to +165/sup 0/F). The divider works into an electronic impedance matching line driver which has selectable division ratios of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and works into a 50-ohm load. Total deviation in division ratio for the system is in the order of +1.5 percent to -1.05 percent.
