Here we present the MSL Kibble balance in terms of its design features and operation, effects of misalignments of the piston-cylinder unit and requirements to mitigate this. In particular, we model the righting moment of the piston-cylinder system and show how this is essential for the alignment and operation of this Kibble balance.","PeriodicalId":373216,"journal":{"name":"2020 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117121531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving the performance of an existing divider by hardware can be very difficult because the main design principles or used components cannot be changed. Software corrections for improving the performance of impulse dividers are therefore very tempting. This paper describes two different methods to apply software corrections to the output of the voltage divider. Corrections are based on measured properties of the used dividers and the validity of the corrections can be verified with a calibrator or by a comparison. Both corrections improved the divider performance up to reference level.","PeriodicalId":373216,"journal":{"name":"2020 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122828609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
