Quadrupoles
CIL and CIT

When a quadrupole and a coupling capacitor are used together as the coupling device, high voltage is applied
both to a test object and to the coupling capacitor in parallel with the test object. A quadrupole (sometimes
called measuring impedance) can then be placed in series with either the coupling capacitor or in series with
the test object. Some quadrupoles also output a low voltage copy of the applied high voltage wave for
synchronising the PD detector. The three basic models of available Power Diagnostix quadrupoles are briefly
described here.

CIL quadrupole
The CIL quadrupoles consist of an inductor in parallel with a damping resistor. This inductor and the resistor
are calculated to form, together with a high voltage coupling capacitor, a second order high pass filter.
Therefore, matching the range of the CIL with the size of the coupling capacitor, with which it will be used, is
important.

CIT quadrupole
The CIT coupling units are transformer type units, where the RPA1's input resistance represents the required
damping resistor. As these units offer a higher sensitivity than the CIL coupling units, their use is mandatory
with applications suffering from signal attenuation, such as measurements on medium and high voltage cables.

CIL/V and CIT/V quadrupole


The CIL/V and CIT/V quadrupoles are similar to the CIL resp. CIT quadrupoles but additionally contain a
capacitor acting as a voltage divider together with the high voltage coupling capacitor. This provides a low
voltage copy of the applied high voltage wave that can be used with a voltage converter to synchronise the PD
detector and monitor the quality of the applied high voltage wave.

Optionally, the quadrupoles with built-in divider capacitor for voltage measurement can be supplied with a
rotary switch to select the divider capacitor. In particular, when connected to the measurement tap of
transformer bushings, the selectable capacitors expand the applicable voltage range.
