There are a few instruments used to perform infrared (IR) thermometer and IR imager calibration. These instruments fall into two categories, cavities and flat-plates. To calculate the uncertainty in using these instruments, the temperature uniformity must be known. This is especially true with flat-plates. This uncertainty may be given in an instrument’s specification. However, there is not a standardized test method to test the uniformity of a flat-plate calibrator as there is with other classes...

Grid connected photovoltaic systems are growing in importance as sustainable energy sources.The DC power of the solar panels is converted into an AC power by inverters. These are transformerless and, besides generating AC current, also inject a small DC Current. Excessive DC current injection into an AC network can cause problems like transformer saturation, however, which will cause additional losses and reduce transformer lifetime. For measuring these DC components, we need a Power Quality Analyzer...
