Electrical & Power Calibration

Accurate calibration of electrical instruments to measure voltage, current, resistance, and power using traceable standards.

Electrical & Power Calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting electrical measuring instruments to ensure they provide accurate and reliable readings. These instruments are critical for monitoring and controlling electrical systems, and even small deviations can lead to incorrect measurements, energy losses, equipment damage, or safety risks.

Calibration is carried out using high-precision reference standards that are traceable to international standards. The process involves comparing the instrument’s readings with a known standard, identifying any deviation (error), and adjusting the instrument if required to bring it within acceptable tolerance limits.


Scope of Calibration

Electrical & Power Calibration typically covers measurement of:

  • Voltage (AC/DC)
  • Current (AC/DC)
  • Resistance
  • Frequency
  • Power (Active, Reactive, Apparent)
  • Energy consumption
  • Insulation resistance

Instruments Covered

  • Digital Multimeters
  • Clamp Meters
  • Insulation Testers (Megger)
  • Power Analyzers
  • Energy Meters
  • Frequency Meters
  • Earth Resistance Testers

Calibration Process

  1. Visual Inspection
    Check for physical damage, wiring condition, and functionality.
  2. Connection to Reference Standard
    Instrument is connected to a certified calibration source.
  3. Measurement Comparison
    Readings are compared with standard values at multiple points.
  4. Error Identification
    Deviation from actual value is recorded.
  5. Adjustment (if required)
    Instrument is calibrated to reduce error within acceptable limits.
  6. Certification
    A calibration certificate is issued with traceability details.
