Set the test set to generate rated voltage and set to calibration current (for example, 5 A).
Make sure calibrations are complete for PGAIN (at PF = 1).
Set the test set to output at power factor 0.5 (+ or – is not important at this point).
Note the power error.
Switch the test set to output at power factor 0.5 in the other direction to Step 3.
Note the power error.
At this point, both power errors should be approximately the same deviation but a different direction from the calibrated power error at PF = 1.
For example, at PF = 1, the calibrated error is 0.1%. If at PF = 0.5, the power error reads about 0.5%. Then at PF = –0.5, the power error should read about –0.3%.
Adjust the phase correction with time deviation
from the current phase correction such that the power errors at PF = ±0.5 are minimized.
For example, if the current phase
correction is 13 μs and 11 μs is desired, enter –2 into the phase correction box of
the manual calibration window.
