METHOD OF ESTIMATING A VOLTAGE

Method for estimating the voltage value relating to a live element uses five capacitors, wherein a first capacitor has its first pole connected to said live element; a second capacitor has its first pole connected to said live element; a third capacitor has its first pole connected to the second pole of the first capacitor and its second pole connected to ground; a fourth capacitor has its first pole connected to the second pole of the second capacitor and its second pole connected to the first pole of a fifth capacitor. The voltage value is estimated using: 1) a voltage value relating to a first node positioned along the conducting wire that connects the first capacitor to the third capacitor 2) a voltage value relating to a second node positioned along the conducting wire that connects the fourth capacitor to the fifth capacitor; 3) a capacitance value of the third capacitor; 4) a capacitance value of the fourth capacitor; 5) a capacitance value of the fifth capacitor.
