Abstract
In the paper, a possibility of the unit step response simulation in a time domain from the resistive divider's dimensions is discussed. This technique consists of two stages: to compute the floating capacitances between the segmented two electrodes as well as stray capacitances to the ground; and to calculate the unit step response for the constructed equivalent circuit using EMTP. To verify the validity of the proposed simulation, a 200kV equi-potential resistive reference divider is to be selected. This is because the equi-potential divider's unit step response can theoretically be estimate. The numerical simulation has been in completely agreement with the expected response. The results showed a possibility that even without constructing prototype dividers, one can determine divider's dimensions which yield the best step response.
