Abstract :
The paper describes the improvements made to the NRC Watt-VA Transfer Standard and AC Source which are used to support the NRC Travelling Standard Program. With these improvements, NRC clients can now calibrate on site the voltage, current, active, reactive and apparent power functions of their standards for voltages of up to 600 V and currents of up to 50 A.
