Bonjour a tous,
Please note that I am relatively new to metrology, having only a modest CAL lab, accumulated randomly over decades of Ham Radio fleas and ebay.
GenRad divider, few capacitance, resistance and inductance standards, several HP RLC bridges, and the power supplies and Yokogawa CAL as mentioned.
I was very lucky to find some of these CAL devices, which sat unused and unrecognized until recently.
The voltage standard was my labs weakest point, I had only an ancient Epley standard cell.
NOTES and RESPONSES:
1/ 8842A was unused since 2010, unknown last CAL or history but in excellent physical condition in and out and with TRMS AC.
Poor CAL due to backup NVRAM or battery ?
2/ GenRad 1454-A is for use at <10V. 10.000K checked with a Leeds and Northrup 10000 ohm standard 4 terminal (4040-B) 0.001%
https://www.surplussales.com/equipment/testequipment/pdf/eqp-ln-4025b-ln-4045b_PDF.pdf3/ RE For 100V and 1000V supplies CAL from the 10.000V source:
GenRad in series with R decade below, set 90K 10:1 or 990K 100:1 ratios
4/ Decade Resistor is ZM-16B/U from Aimes Engineering, 0.1 ohm - 100MOhm, in 9 decades. It is NOT super accurate BUT is very stable.
https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-11-5102.pdfI setup the decade to ~ 90K and 990K and then trim lower decades for exact rations 10:1 and 100:1.
Aimes is rated 7 mA on the 0-100K decade (for the 100V source) and 2 mA on the 0-1000K decade (for the 1000V source)
5/ The Fluke 8842A has no settings for analog filters.
Fluke calibration is iterative, and improves with each pass. I have three passes on AD and two passes on VDC so far.
I welcome any comments or observations on Yokogawa calibrator 2554 orHP 6515A high voltage precision power supply (max out is 1600V)
Bon Journee,
Jon
