IMPROVING ACCURACY OF POWER AND POWER QUALITY MEASUREMENTS

Dave Coombes
  • Abstract:
    To calibrate power and power quality measurement instruments such as flicker meters or harmonic measurement devices, several alternative techniques are generally used or proposed:
    • Using a reference device to make measurements which can be compared against those made by the UUT.
    • Applying variable loads to a static, impedance loaded power line to induce required conditions.
    • Generating the required signals with a precision signal source.
    This paper discusses the third option. There are a number of benefits to this approach, as well as a number of difficulties to overcome and decisions to be made to implement it effectively.
