A new broad-band thermal wattmeter, based on a thermal converter operating at a constant level at whatever the measured power may be, is described and the principle of its operation is analyzed. The uncertainties arising from its use with sinusoidal and nonsinusoidal waveforms are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
