Sphere gaps can also be used for the purpose of calibration. Invariably,
impulse and high-frequency AC measurements use potential cathode
ray oscillograph dividers for recording waveform voltages. Sphere gaps
are mostly used for calibration purposes when peak voltage levels are
needed.
In the case of RMS voltage, the average voltage of the circuit is often
considered as the mean voltage. It is the most common way to
determine the voltage of an AC circuit for RMS voltage. RMS stands
for root mean square. For example, if the voltage is 120 V AC at a
household electrical outlet, that means that the RMS voltage is also 120
V. The RMS voltage would be equal to 0.707 times the peak voltage if
the AC voltage matches a real sine wave. The peak voltage is
equivalent to about 1.4 times the RMS voltage in order to switch it
around. As a result, it is around 168 V of the actual peak voltage at a
household electrical outlet. As shown in the Figure 4-1 below, that is an
example of what the actual sinusoidal AC voltage are.

Almost all of the AC voltmeters record the RMS voltage, but there are
only high-cost AC voltmeters measure the actual RMS by sampling the
input voltage and performing the sum-of-the-squares. While, low-cost
voltmeters essentially measure the peak voltage and just multiply it by
0.707. Providentially, both of the results are similar enough to most of
the uses.

High current may have been important in the power system, such as
testing circuit breaker, cable light arrester, and others. Thus, during
lighting discharge, switching transients and shunt faults, the high
current will be directly connected to them. However, special techniques
are required for this current to calculate, including the use of high direct
current, hall generators and high-frequency currents [3].
Lorenz force is capable of deflecting the electron from the metal surface
in the opposite direction between the direction of the magnetic field and
the current flow. Thus, this situation will happen when the electrical
current flows through the metal-plated when it is put in a magnetic field
in the opposite direction. In addition, the EMF is generated when the
charge moves in a perpendicular direction or is known as Hall voltage.
Besides, the Hall coefficient is known as R and depends on the material
and the temperature of the plate. In comparison, the Hall coefficient for
metal would be much lower than that for semiconductor material, which
is higher than that. Next, as shown in Figure 4-2, the current conductor
will be managed to pass through the Iron Cored Magnetic Circuit in
order to test high DC current. Thus, between the air gap and the small
fixed DC current, the Hall element needs to be positioned between it

and moved through the element. Finally, the value of the current I can
be obtained by using the expression of the Hall voltage and by
completing the measurement of the flux density B when the voltage is
calculated across the Hall component.
