What is a high-voltage capacitor?

Calibrations at frequencies from 50-400 Hz are avail- able over a more limited voltage range. The service for high-voltage capacitors provides measurements of capacitance and dissipation factor at applied voltages ranging from 100 V to 170 kV at 60 Hz depending on the nominal capacitance.

What is the calibration service for voltage transformers and high-voltage capacitors?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) calibration service for voltage transformers and high-voltage capacitors is described. The service for voltage transformers provides measurements of ratio correction factors and phase angles at primary voltages up to 170 kV and secondary voltages as low as 10 V at 60 Hz.

What are the calibration resources for capacitance at low voltages?

The calibration resources for capacitance at low voltages (≤ 100 V) covers the interval 100 fF – 1 mF. The most commonly used method for calibration of capacitance standards in the interval 1 nF – 10 μF is substitution measurements where the object is compared to a known standard with the same nominal value.

What voltage can a capacitor be calibrated at?

Calibrations at frequencies from 50–400 Hz are available over a more limited voltage range. The service for high-voltage capacitors provides measurements of capacitance and dissipation factor at applied voltages ranging from 100 V to 170 kV at 60 Hz depending on the nominal capacitance.

How do you calibrate a capacitance standard?

The most commonly used method for calibration of capacitance standards in the interval 1 nF – 10 μF is substitution measurements where the object is compared to a known standard with the same nominal value. Such capacitance calibrations are carried out with an LCR-meter or a capacitance bridge.

How many kV can a high voltage capacitor be calibrated?

Calibrations of high voltage capacitors can be performed up to 300 kV (for more information see the National Laboratory for high voltage and high currents) Other types of measurements can also be performed, for example, measurements of temperature coefficients.
