Abstract
A method and apparatus for rendering a high-voltage current-comparator capacitance bridge insensitive to frequency fluctuations when used for measuring inductance. A compensating current, proportional to twice the change in the current through the reference capacitor due to frequency fluctuations, is driven into the first comparator winding, through which the current from the reference capacitor passes, resulting in a current in that winding having frequency characteristics similar to those of the current passing through the second winding, which is connected to the inductance. This compensating current is derived from a reduced replica of the applied high-voltage or from the current through the reference capacitor.
