Title: A Guarding Technique For Regions Containing Potential Gradients

Abstract: Conventional guarding prevents regions containing a single electrical potential from exchanging electrical charge with the rest of the environment through imperfect insulation. A new guarding technique prevents electrical charge exchange from regions containing potential gradients. Conventional guards are shown to be a special case of guards for potential gradients. The gradient guard, charge channel and guard group versions of the technique are discussed. Experimental results demonstrate that a current-carrying conductor, having a significant IR drop and protected within a charge channel can have the same entry and exit current despite poor and varying insulation performance from the conductor to the environment.
