Verification of the transmission behaviour of transducers and sensors

The transmission behaviour of a transducer describes how the transmission ratio behaves as a function of the frequency. The nominal transmission ratio of a transducer is only specified for the nominal frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) on the nameplate.

At the moment, there is no existing IEC standard that requires the determination of the transmission behaviour of a transformer during factory testing. It is a fact that in most cases the grid operators do not or only very rarely have measurements of the transmission behaviour of their installed transformers.

For this reason, it is recommended to determine the transmission behaviour of the transformers in order to assess the significance of a power quality measurement.

The suitability of a transformer or a divider for a power quality measurement can be assessed by the accuracy data for the magnitude and phase angle error of the frequency-dependent transmission ratio. This accuracy information can be determined by measurement.

Two basic approaches are available for this purpose:

  • Invasive verification
  • Non-invasive verification
