Calculating Power Uncertainty
Overall uncertainty for power output in Watts (or VARs) is based on the root sum square (rss) of the individual
uncertainties in percent for the selected voltage, current, and power factor parameters:

Because there are an infinite number of combinations, you should calculate the actual ac power uncertainty for your
selected parameters. The method of calculation is best shown in the following examples (using 1 year specifications):
Example 1
Output: 100 V, 1 A, 60 Hz, Power Factor = 1.0 (Φ=0).
Voltage Uncertainty Uncertainty for 100 V at 60 Hz is 150 ppm + 2 mV, totaling:
100 V x 190 x 10
-6
= 15 mV added to 2 mV = 17 mV. Expressed in percent:
17 mV/100 V x 100 = 0.017 %
(see “AC Voltage (Sine Wave) Specifications”).
Current Uncertainty Uncertainty for 1 A is 0.05 % 100 μA, totaling:
1 A x 0.0005 = 500 μA added to 100 μA = 0.6 mA. Expressed in percent:
0. 6 mA/1 A x 100 = 0.06 %
(see “AC Current (Sine Waves) Specifications”).
PF Adder Watts Adder for PF = 1 (Φ=0) at 60 Hz is 0 %
(see “Phase Specifications”).

Example 2
Output: 100 V, 1 A, 400 Hz, Power Factor = 0.5 (Φ=60)
Voltage Uncertainty Uncertainty for 100 V at 400 Hz is, 150 ppm + 2 mV, totaling:
100 V x 190 x 10
-6
= 15 mV added to 2 mV = 17 mV. Expressed in percent:
17 mV/100V x 100 = 0.017 %
(see “AC Voltage (Sine Wave) Specifications”).
Current Uncertainty Uncertainty for 1 A is 0.05 % 100 μA, totaling:
1 A x 0.0005 = 500 μA added to 100 μA = 0.6 mA. Expressed in percent:
0.6 mA/1A x 100 = 0.06 %
(see “AC Current (Sine Waves) Specifications”).
PF Adder Watts Adder for PF = 0.5 (Φ=60) at 400 Hz is 0.76 %
(see “Phase Specifications”).
