“…All these uncertainties are inherently lower than those reported in this paper for direct ac current measurement, which includes additional uncertainty components for current shunts dc current calibration and long term stability of their resistance. Nevertheless, results confirm findings in [1] and [2] that shorter crossbars provide for better high frequency response of the smaller current coaxial current shunts.…”

“…A most accurate current measurements in the frequency band from 10 Hz to 100 kHz are available through the measurement of current ac-dc difference, using latest designs of coaxial current shunts [1], [2]. By evaluating current ac-dc difference, dc resistance, long term dc resistance stability, temperature coefficient and loading effects, a direct measurement of ac current from 10 mA to 20 A was proposed in [3], achieving the uncertainties below 80 A/A in frequency range from 10 Hz up to 30 kHz.…”

Coaxial current shunts for currents from 10 mA to 20 A have been constructed. They have been calibrated for ac/dc current difference at frequencies up to 30 kHz. A lumped element model was made for each shunt, from which a frequency response and input impedance were derived. Comparison to actual measured frequency response and measured input impedance results show good agreement of the developed model.

This paper describes a power measurement setup able to measure power up to the MHz region. The setup consists of a commercial digitizer together with a switch unit and buffer amplifiers to alternately measure the voltage and current channel. This significantly reduces the need for flat frequency response of the setup. The method described in this paper makes complex ratio measurements possible in the range of 50 Hz up to 1 MHz with an uncertainty of a few parts in 10 6 .Index Terms -Precision measurement, power measurement, complex ratio measurement, buffer amplifier, switching.

“…It has as their major design goal adequate power dissipation and minimal resistance changes with temperature (low temperature coefficient of resistance). Eventually, one of the most important features of this current shunt is that it converts the applied current to voltage drop across its terminals in a linear manner [21][22][23][24].…”

The temperature effects on the electrical performance of a large area multicrystalline silicon solar cell with back-contact technology have been studied in a desert area under ambient conditions using the current shunt measuring technique. Therefore, most of the problems encountered with traditional measuring techniques are avoided. The temperature dependency of the current shunt from 5ºC up to 50ºC has been investigated. Its temperature coefficient proves to be negligible which means that the temperature dependency of the solar cell is completely independent of the current shunt. The solar module installed in a tilted position at the optimum angle of the location, has been tested in two different seasons (winter and summer). The obtained solar cell short circuit current, open circuit voltage and output power are correlated with the measured incident radiation in both seasons and all results are discussed.
