Metrological traceability chains for high DC voltage and voltages ratio

Abstract

The current stage of scientific and technical development is characterized by the widespread use of high-voltage technology. Metrological traceability has such important elements as calibration of measurement standards and measuring instruments and evaluation of measurement uncertainty. The range of values of specific measurands, the range of necessary measurement uncertainties and the measurement standards used are presented as metrological traceability chains. Building such chains for different types of measurements is important for national metrology institutes and calibration laboratories. An urgent task is to build metrological traceability chains for high direct current voltage measuring instruments. The proposed metrological traceability hierarchy chains are used in the State Enterprise “Ukrmetrteststandard” for calibration of working standards and working measuring instruments for high DC voltage and voltages ratio. These chains can be used also by accredited calibration laboratories, which carry out calibration of working measuring instruments for high direct current voltage and voltages ratio according to their own scope of accreditation.
