A digital instrument for the calibration of current-to-voltage transducers
Renato Sasdelli, Antonio Menchetti, Lorenzo Peretto · 2002
Modern instrumentation for the monitoring of electrical power systems is based on digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. If proper design choices are made, the overall accuracy of this kind of instrumentation basically depends on the signal conditioning circuits. They have voltmetric outputs to drive the A/D converters and are very often based on instrument transformers to ensure the isolation between the instrumentation and the power system. This paper presents a lab prototype of a digital instrument for the calibration of current-to-voltage transducers (CVTs) and discusses its performance. The results of calibration tests performed on some commercial active and passive CVTs are also reported and discussed.
