Electrical Power Measurements up to 100 kHz
The IEEE Tulsa Section would like to invite you to a free virtual event provided by the Ottowa Section.
Abstract
Traditionally, AC power meters have been calibrated at power frequencies of 50/60 Hz. However, power meter manufacturers offer instruments with much higher power measuring bandwidths. This is because many applications consume power at higher frequencies, which go up to 100 kHz. These applications include:
• Switching-mode power supplies,
• High-frequency electronic lighting ballasts,
• Soft starters in motor control systems,
• Frequency converters in traction applications.
Measurements of power at high frequencies have been lagging as well as the development of power meters to address the above applications, and few national laboratories provide traceable calibrations of up to 100 kHz. Without this capability, there remains doubt over the validity of the high-frequency specifications of power meters and power analyzers. The guaranteed accuracy and precision of Yokogawa's instruments results from the fact that Yokogawa has its own European Standards Laboratory at its European headquarters in The Netherlands. This facility was the first industrial (i.e. non-government or national) organization in the world to offer accredited power calibration, at frequencies up to 100 kHz. The ISO/IEC17025 accreditation (RvA K164) demonstrates the international competence of the Laboratory.

Erik Kroon
Electrical Power Measurements up to 100 kHz
Biography:
Erik Kroon started as avionics engineer at Fokker Aircraft company in the Netherlands. After 6 years, he joined Yokogawa as an instrumentation engineer, where he designed and developed electronic test systems. He became responsible for setting up a calibration system for the company. After ten years, he moved to the VSL, National Metrology Laboratory of the Netherlands. He was responsible for Time & Frequency as well as High Voltage metrology, at the DC Low Frequency Group. He was a member of the Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency (CCTF) of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). After eight years at VSL, Erik moved back to Yokogawa due to a demanding commuting and many traffic jams on the highway. At Yokogawa, he set up a calibration laboratory for customers specialized in power calibrations under the ISO/IEC Standard 17025. He is currently working on getting accreditation for electric power measurements of up to 100 kHz. Presently, Erik is Manager of the Laboratory, and provides advice to Yokogawa laboratories globally.
