The maximum voltage for capacitor calibrations is presently 170 kV at 60 Hz. The restrictions are imposed by the supply transformer and not by limi- tations in the measurement instrumentation. There- fore, this constraint should not be considered time invariant and clients should contact NIST about present physical limitations.
In order to calibrate the 200-kV high-voltage measuring system, its divider and display are connected in parallel with the two series pre-calibrated capacitors. The display used to detect the low voltage of the two series capacitors is the traceable HP-3458A DMM.
The most accurate capacitor calibrations have an uncertainty of ±25 ppm for capacitance and an un- certainty of ±5xlO~* for dissipation factor. For capacitors with large dissipation factors, the dissi- pation factor uncertainty is generally at least ±1% of the measured value ±5X 10~*.
The voltage transformer calibration is of the direct null type, and the capac- itor calibration is of the comparative null type. In other words, the accuracy of the capacitance mea- surements ultimately depends on the uncertainty in assigning a value to a standard capacitor.
The adapted calibration technique is divided into three main setups. The first setup is to obtain the actual dividing ratio of each capacitor by calibrating each one via the traceable Phenix-kVM100 reference standard up to 100-kV AC voltage.
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.
