The invention discloses a coaxial-symmetrical discrete capacitive voltage divider used for nanosecond high voltage pulse measurement, which is used for the pulse power technology or the measurement of nanosecond transient high voltage of an electric power system, and can convert high-amplitude transient voltage signals into low voltage capable of being measured by recording instruments such as an oscilloscope and the like without loss. The invention adopts the measurement proposal that four voltage dividers are distributed for balancing a cross section electric field, the mode can make the high-frequency electric fields of the cross sections of the voltage dividers distributed evenly, and improve the response bandwidth of the measurement; simultaneously, because a low-voltage arm capacitor adopts a discrete capacitance element with large capacitance, when large capacitive voltage division ratio is realized, compared with the prior coaxial capacitive voltage divider, the outline size of the voltage divider is greatly reduced, the parasitic inductance of the capacitive voltage divider is further reduced, the measurement bandwidth is improved, and simultaneously great convenience is brought for the use under the condition that an installing space is limited. Compared with the prior art, the coaxial-symmetrical discrete capacitive voltage divider has the advantages of compact structure, small volume and wide response frequency bandwidth, and is applicable to measuring quick changing pulse of high voltage.
