Abstract

In response to industry requests to have calibration services for distorted power instrumentation, NIST is developing a new sampling system to provide this calibration service. This effort is aimed at allowing calibration of instruments that will make measurement in accordance with the IEEE trial use Standard 1459-2000 on power measurements in distorted and unbalanced conditions. The system will make use of several NIST developed instruments and sensors.
