A new Power calibration system has been established for calibration of high precision reference power standards and watt converters for ranges, 10V-576V, 10mA-120A, PF:1 to ±0.01, frequency 40 Hz to 400 Hz.

New Project undertaken

On the basis of study of influence of AC/DC magnetic fields on the performance of energy meters, two old clauses has been amended and three new clauses has been finalized (clauses 5.6.2.1 to 5.6.2.5) and included in the new version of CBIP specification/manual on Standardization of AC Static Electrical Energy Meters, Publication No. 304 and also some in IS specification IS-13779. This has helped industries in controlling energy theft to a large extent. This study is setting a land mark for international standardization also.
