The Calibration of dc Voltage Standards at NIST
نویسنده
چکیده
This document describes the procedures used at NIST to calibrate dc voltage standards in terms of the NIST volt. Three calibration services are offered by the Electricity Division: Regular Calibration Service (RCS) of client standard cells at NIST; the Volt Transfer Program (VTP) a process to determine the difference between the NIST volt and the volt as maintained by a group of standard cells in a client laboratory; and the calibration of client solid-state dc voltage standards at NIST. The operational procedures used to compare these voltage standards to NIST voltage standards and to maintain the NIST volt via the ac Josephson effect are discussed.

Improvements in the Nist Calibration Service for Thermal Transfer Standards
We report on multiple improvements made in the calibration services offered for thermal converters and thermal transfer standards in the ac-dc Difference Standards and Measurement Techniques Project at NIST during the past year. The major improvement in this calibration is the increased efficiency made possible by the consolidation of three disparate calibration services – low voltage thermal t...
متن کاملExtension of the NIST AC-DC Difference Calibration Service for Current to 100 kHz
The NIST calibration service for ac-dc difference of thermal current converters relies on multijunction thermal converters as the primary standards, and various thermal converters and thermoelements (TEs) as the reference and working standards. Calibrations are performed by comparing the ac-dc difference of a customer's thermal current converter to the ac-dc difference of a NIST standard curren...

A comparison of Josephson Voltage Standards (JVS) between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Centro Nacional de Metrología (CENAM) held at CENAM from 21 to 23 of March 2006 is reported. The comparison was made at the 10 V level by measuring four Zener references using the JVS of CENAM and the transportable Compact Josephson Voltage Standard (CJVS) of NIST. The dif...
متن کاملCalibration of Voltage Transformers and High- Voltage Capacitors at NIST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) calibration service for voltage transformers and high-voltage capacitors is described. The service for voltage transformers provides measurements of ratio correction factors and phase angles at primary voltages up to 170 kV and secondary voltages as low as 10 V at 60 Hz. Calibrations at frequencies from 50-400 Hz are available over a mor...
