    hi guys,I am developin an instruments which accepts high voltage as its input,but when I am trying to reduce the voltage using a voltage divider with increse in voltage i am lsoing my accuracy i have tried to amplify it but everytime i had to adjust the gain,it is crucial to me as the input will be fed to the controller board and final results will be depended on this input.

    Though I dont understand exactly what you are looking for I wll still try to answere you.
    If you need to reduce the voltage you can use transformer too.
    And to improve on accuracy you can use feedback path.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    Can you provide more details to what development you are looking into to help you in some way

    Ok let it make simple,I am integarting a High voltage probe with a device which injects high voltage,and to process the result,i need that high voltage probe to sence the voltage,which reduce it to equivalent voltage,which I can feed to my controller board consisting of DSP,and then display the result,but my problem is as the voltage goes above 1Kv,accuracy shoots from 0.5% to 1% and goes on incresing,hence I cannot claim the accuracy of my device...hope you understand

    Just a suggestion

    Try to step down the high voltage to a level 220V through auto transformer & further reduce it to your desired voltage.

    cant say how much it will help you

    the first thing is to calculate the voltage needed for components in the controller board & then use some electronics components (viz... mobile phone charger converts 230v to 3v as tis 3v is dc)...

    you can use phase attuenators , i thinks it is correct element to control voltage... and it will give supply to every component at required voltage.......
