  • Abstract
    A new 14-range set of thermal current converters consisting of shunted thermoelements has been constructed to measure ac-dc difference and ac current from 10 mA to 20 A at 20 Hz to 50 kHz. The ac-dc difference corrections for all ranges can be determined relative to two ranges by a 7-step intercomparison of certain adjacent ranges.
