Several basic concepts about accuracy and linearity

Before talking about accuracy and linearity, let us talk about the concepts of several errors:

1. Absolute error: the difference between the measured value and the ideal value;

2. Relative error: the ratio of the absolute error of the measured point to the ideal value of the measured point;
3. Reference error: the ratio of the absolute error of the measured point to the reference value (range);
4. Basic error: Under standard conditions, the reference error within the range of the reference value (range);

5. Linear error: the deviation between the measured curve and the ideal straight line;

Accuracy: The change limit is determined by the sensor’s basic error limit and the influence amount (such as temperature change, humidity change, power supply fluctuation, frequency change, etc.).

Linearity: Linearity Concept: A measure of whether the output and input systems of a test system can maintain a normal value proportional relationship (linear relationship) like an ideal system.

Linear range: the measurable range of the sensor in linear operation.

Impact of Frequency on Voltage Transformers: Testing at 50Hz vs. 60Hz

Voltage transformers (VTs) are essential in electrical power systems, ensuring accurate voltage measurements and system protection. But here’s the catch—these transformers behave differently depending on frequency. Testing a voltage transformer at 50Hz versus 60Hz isn’t just about a simple number change. The shift in frequency affects magnetic flux, impedance, losses,

Why Current Transformers Have Errors: Understanding the Basics
