Fast, automated, traceable calibrations that comply with IEEE C37.118.1a™-2014 and IEEE Synchrophasor Measurement Test Suite Specification-Version 2-2015
Today’s smart grid relies on phasor measurement units (PMUs) to deliver real-time, mission critical data on the voltage, current, frequency and phase within the distribution grid. To ensure consistent, accurate and credible PMU data, it is essential that PMUs be properly calibrated.
The 6135A/PMUCAL Phasor Measurement Unit Calibration System is the only fully automated and traceable PMU calibration system available today. It is an ideal solution for PMU designers and manufacturers, as well as for national metrology institutes (NMIs). It’s also a perfect solution for third party calibration houses, electrical power utilities and organizations associated with electrical power transmission.
Applications include calibrating PMUs before they are installed, and as required throughout their operational life; performing type tests of PMUs and other power grid tools; and performing first article approvals. Because the 6135A includes a three-phase 6135A Electrical Power Calibration Standard, you can also use it to calibrate wide workload of electrical power and power quality test instruments.
The integrated 6135A/PMUCAL system fully complies to the IEEE C37.118.1a-2014, IEEE Synchrophasor Measurement Test Suite Specification-Version 2-2015 and C37.242-2013 standards for PMU operation and verification. The system also fully complies to the 2016 draft standard IEC/ IEEE 60255-118 Ed.1. Because it is fully automated, even non-expert users can start using it quickly, performing a complete complement of required tests in just a few hours, as opposed to many days with manual techniques.
