Current-Voltage Standard

Current-voltage standards are instruments used in electrical and electronic properties measuring and testing. They are part of the supply class of instruments and fall under the supply group of instruments and laboratory equipment.

Current-voltage standards are used to generate precise and accurate current and voltage signals for calibration and testing purposes. They provide a stable and known reference for measuring and verifying the performance of other instruments or devices.

These standards are typically designed to provide a wide range of current and voltage outputs with high accuracy and stability. They are commonly used in various industries, including electronics manufacturing, research laboratories, and calibration facilities.

Current-voltage standards can be categorized into different types based on their functionality and capabilities. Some common types include:

1. Voltage References: These standards generate precise and stable voltage outputs with low noise and high accuracy. They are used for calibrating voltmeters, multimeters, and other voltage measuring instruments.

2. Current Sources: These standards provide accurate and stable current outputs for calibrating ammeters, current meters, and other current measuring instruments. They can generate both DC and AC currents with high precision.

3. Resistance Standards: These standards are used to calibrate resistance measuring instruments, such as ohmmeters and resistance bridges. They provide precise and stable resistance values for accurate resistance measurements.

4. Power Standards: These standards combine voltage and current outputs to generate precise power signals. They are used for calibrating power meters, wattmeters, and other power measuring instruments.

Current-voltage standards are essential tools in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of electrical and electronic measurements. They play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and performance of various instruments and devices used in different industries.
