Abstract

This paper describes the development, at INRIM, Italy, of a system for the accurate measurement of the power with distorted signals. This system consists of a six input high resolution acquisition system and suitable shunts and voltage dividers. The first version of the system has been tested for its functionality and in comparison with the primary system for the measurement of electrical power showing a good agreement, when the same devices are used as signal conditioners. Instead, not negligible differences arise in the direct comparison of the two systems, mainly due to the instability of the voltage dividers.
