Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give a review of ac-dc characterization of the current shunts and application of the current shunt (nominal current 1A) within the digital sampling wattmeter. It is described the ac-dc transfer difference measurement of six cage type ac shunts from 10 mA up to 10 A using step-up measurement procedure. Furthermore, the substantial part of the measurement setup is fast switching system which is also described in detail. For the purpose of measurement procedure, the application is developed in LabVIEW and whole process is fully automatized. Obtained results are analyzed and shown on graphs. This paper is extended version of two papers: [1] and [2] which are presented on 1st International Colloquium on Smart Grid Metrology. Thus, paper is extended with presented application of the shunt 1 A in the digital sampling wattmeter.
