Accurate high voltage measurements are required by the electric power industry for instrumentation, metering, and testing applications. Similarly, there is a need for accurate measurements of high voltages in pulsed power machines to monitor and optimize machine operation. High-voltage, low-inductance resistor are commonly employed as fast voltage-divider probes, charging-trigger resistors in Marx generator, dummy loads for pulsed power systems, absorbers of reflected pulses, and energy dumps. Aqueous solution resistors have a number of advantage as compared to resistors of other type. Aqueous solution resistors are technically superior to wirewound, film, and composition resistors and less expensive than ceramic resistors.
