This paper presents the development and characterization of a reference high-voltage sensing chain for the calibration and conformity assessment of instrument transformers with Class 0.1-WB3, in the extended frequency range up to 150 kHz, according to IEC 61869. The sensing chain, composed of a high-voltage divider, precision attenuators and high-pass filters, has been specifically developed and characterized. The chain features two parallel measurement paths: the first path, comprising the high-voltage divider and attenuator, is optimized for measuring the fundamental frequency superimposed with high-amplitude harmonics; the second path, consisting of the high-voltage divider followed by a high-pass filter, is dedicated to measuring very-low-level superimposed harmonic components by enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. These two paths are integrated with a digitizer to form a complete and modular measurement chain. The expanded uncertainty of measurement has been thoroughly evaluated and confirms the chain’s ability to support assessment of instrument transformers with Class 0.1-WB3 compliance. Additionally, the chain architecture enables a future extension up to 500 kHz, addressing the growing need to evaluate instrument transformers under high-frequency power quality disturbances and improving the sensing capability in this field.
