Claim:
1. A resistive voltage divider having a voltage ratio between ten and one million, the resistive voltage divider comprising: a first resistor and a second resistor electrically connected in series, the first and second resistors being made of an electrically resistive film material and each being applied in the form of a trace onto an insulating substrate, wherein the first and second resistors are made of the same electrically resistive film material, have a trace length above a corresponding specific trace length and have approximately the same trace width, wherein the first resistor is connected between first and second contacting terminals, the first contacting terminal extending in a first direction, wherein the second resistor is connected between the second contacting terminal and a third contacting terminal, the second and third contacting terminals both extending in one of the first direction and a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, and wherein the second resistor is comprised of a plurality of resistor traces each correspondingly arranged in a straight line between the second and third contacting terminals.
