Calibration

The accuracy of the basic parameters of the C300B Calibrator -

voltage, current, power and energy in a wide voltage 21 ... 560V
and current 0.05 ... 120A ranges, is expressed as a percentage of
the setting value, without the component as a percentage of the
range value. This form of errors specification is very useful when
checking instruments, such as electricity meters.

 The C300B as a power quality calibrator of nonsinusoidal and time variable signals Calmet .
____________
Calibration

Power Quality function enables generation of nonsinusoidal voltage and

current waveforms with harmonics, interharmonics and subharmonics as well
as simulation of voltage, current, phase shift and frequency variations as a
function of time (dips, interruptions, swells, flicker, fluctuations and ramp
signals).
PQ functions meet all accuracy requirements of power quality testing to the
EN 61000-4 series of standards.

Harmonics
Harmonics are voltages and currents with a frequency, that is an
integral multiple of the fundamental frequency. Harmonic testing is
defined in EN 61000-4-7 and EN 61000-4-13.
The C300B can generate multi-harmonic distortion with independent
superposition of harmonic components of current and voltage, with
levels 0…100% and phase angle 0…360q of the first harmonic.

Interharmonics
Interharmonics are voltages with a frequency, that is a non-integral
multiple of the fundamental frequency. For example, in 50Hz supply
system, 150Hz is a harmonic (the third) but 175Hz is an
interharmonic. Interharmonic testing is defined in EN 61000-4-7 and
EN 61000-4-13.
The C300B can generate interharmonics at a user-definable
frequency up to 3200Hz, amplitude and phase angle.
C300B output signals recorded by digital oscilloscope
Dips, Interruptions, Swells and Shocs Single voltage dip Periodic voltage swells
Dips are a temporary reduction of the voltage below
nominal (Interruptions below 1% nominal) and Swells are
a temporary increase of the voltage above nominal up to
200% nominal for a time from 10ms up to several minutes.
Shocs (Inrush current) are a temporary increase of the
current above nominal when first turned on of an electrical Single voltage interruption Single current shoc
device. Dips, Interruptions and Swells testing are defined in
EN 61000-4-11 and EN 61000-4-34.
The C300B can generate a user-definable fast and slow
changes of voltage and current independently.

The C300B generates voltage changes for performance testing and displays the 1,000

results in Pst / Plt severity including combined frequency/voltage changes,

harmonic/interharmonic distortion and phase jumps.
