Mastering High Voltage: The Importance of Accurate Test Equipment

This whitepaper underscores that precise calibration of high-voltage test gear — especially when measuring 1 kV–150 kV systems — is essential for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. It details measurement techniques (voltage dividers, step-down transformers, etc.), the impact of environmental and connection factors on accuracy, and why traceable calibration (e.g. to NIST / A2LA) is a must to ensure consistent, reliable results.

IEC TS 62789:2014 provides guidelines for the parameters to be specified for concentrator photovoltaic cells (both multi-junction and single junction) and provides recommendations and references for measurement techniques. No attempt is made to determine pass/fail criteria for cells. The purpose is to define the performance and physical characteristics of concentrator cells. This specification may also be used for describing cell assemblies and receivers.”
