Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back ELECTROSTATIC VOLTMETER FOR DETERMINE THE PARAMETERS OF ELECTRIC FIELD ON THE AIRCRAFT R.F. Aletdinov, T.A. Volkova, A.F. Shishkina The process of aircraft electrization during the flight is described in this article. Electrization is caused by atmospheric phenomena and by the combined work of electrical equipment placed on aircraft board. Because the electrostatic charge placed on the hull of the plane and inside it makes significant adjustments to the total electric field the importance of it measuring, is concluded. An electrostatic voltmeter has been proposed for measurements of electric field parameters. The operation principle of electrostatic voltmeter was described. Also the different designs of electrostatic voltmeters having an increased accuracy, an increased vibration resistance and enhanced functionality were considered. Due to its advantages over inductive counterparts, namely, the absence of electromagnetic disturbance adversely affecting the operation of airborne electronic and radar systems, electrostatic voltmeter is the optimal device to measure the voltage on aircraft board. Key words: electrostatic voltmeter, electric charge, electric field intensity on the aircraft board, voltage measurement, electromagnetic compatibility of on-board systems.
