Characterisation of AC and DC MV instrument transformers in extended frequency range up to 150 kHz

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Metrology required to protect the electricity grid from ultra-high frequency harmonics caused by power electronics

    The wider use of switching devices has increased conducted disturbances on grid voltage and current up to hundreds of kHz. Hence, standardized procedures for calibration and testing instrument transformers beyond frequencies covered by presently available infrastructures are needed.

    Project will develop metrology necessary to support standardization for the calibration and characterization of instrument transformers up to 150 kHz.

    VTT MIKES will develop a current generation system for simultaneous generation of fundamental and high-frequency current components and characterize the developed AC or DC reference current sensors.


    Call 2022: Metrology support for Regulation and Standards

    The project (22NRM06 ADMIT) has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States.
