Traceability of DC high voltage measurements using the Josephson voltage standard (original) (raw)

Measurement, 2014

Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces a new methodology for obtaining high voltage DC measurements traceability to the International System of Units (SI) at the Egyptian National Institute for Standards (NIS). The traceability has been achieved via the NIS automated 10 V DC Josephson Voltage Standard (JVS). A 100 kV DC voltage divider with a nominal voltage ratio of 10,000:1 is being used with its display in parallel with a high sensitive digital voltmeter. The traceability has been realized by calibrating this digital voltmeter via the JVS system and then it has been used to calibrate the divider display readings. Moreover, the divider ratio has been accurately calibrated using a traceable calibrator source on its high voltage side and the calibrated digital voltmeter on its low voltage side. Accurate and traceable high voltage values have been obtained associated with their expanded uncertainties. Highly improved uncertainties have been achieved using this new calibration technique.
