IEEE/IEC International Standard Instrument transformers--Part 21: Uncertainty evaluation in the accuracy test of instrument transformers

This part of IEC 61869 provides the requirements, the methods and the guidelines to be applied on the evaluation of uncertainty in testing the accuracy of instrument transformers (IT) with an analogue or a digital secondary signal for measuring, protection and control purposes, with rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 400 Hz. This document covers the uncertainty evaluation in testing the accuracy of IT (including on-site testing of accuracy) independently of the technology used (either inductive or non-inductive). This document reports on how to take into account the sources of uncertainty in the setups for accuracy and how to combine their effects in order to evaluate the uncertainty in the test results. Metrological traceability to the International System of Units (SI) will always be assumed for both reference devices and devices under test.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
