What is Electrical Calibration?
Electrical calibration involves verifying and adjusting electrical measurement instruments like multimeters, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, clamp meters, insulation testers, and voltage/current sources to ensure their readings are accurate and traceable to national standards.
Why is Electrical Calibration Important?
- Ensures Measurement Accuracy: Accurate electrical measurements are critical for product quality, safety, and compliance across industries.
- Maintains Compliance: Many standards (ISO, IEC, ANSI, and industry-specific regulations) require regular calibration to meet quality and safety standards.
- Prevents Equipment Failure: Faulty electrical measurements can cause misdiagnosis, leading to equipment malfunction or costly downtime.
- Supports Quality Control: Reliable electrical data helps maintain manufacturing tolerances and process consistency.
- Reduces Safety Risks: Correct calibration minimizes electrical hazards, protecting personnel and facilities.
What Equipment Needs Electrical Calibration?
Electrical calibration is vital on a wide range of equipment, such as:
- Digital and Analog Multimeters
- Clamp Meters
- Oscilloscopes
- Insulation Resistance Testers
- Power Analysers
- Energy Meters
- Function and Signal Generators
- Frequency Counters
- Bench Power Supplies
Who Needs Electrical Calibration?
Electrical calibration is essential for any industry that relies on accurate electrical measurements. This may include:
- Manufacturing and production companies using electrical testing equipment
- Electrical contractors and service technicians
