As more and more innovation focuses on energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources, engineers are increasingly demanding accuracy and precision from their power measurements. At the same time, new standards such as IEC 62301 Ed2.0 and EN 50564:2011, covering standby power consumption, and the SPEC guidelines, covering power consumption in data centers, demand more precise and accurate testing to ensure compliance.
To meet these challenges, R&D teams are increasingly confronted with the need for new levels of precision in power measurement, that can only be achieved if the measuring instruments are properly calibrated with reference to national and international standards.
Therefore, we are proud to announce that Yokogawa’s European Calibration Laboratory has become the world’s first non-governmental facility to receive full ISO 17025 Accreditation for power measurements at up to 100 kHz. This is in addition to its established capability for providing high-accuracy calibration at 50 Hz, especially at very low power factors (down to 0.0001) and at high currents. Read more…
