Chapter 3 Measurement Preparations
Generally speaking, phase error tends to increase gradually for current sensors in the high-frequency
domain of the frequency band (see illustrative figure below).
Power measurement error in the high-frequency domain can be reduced by using information about the
sensor’s unique phase characteristics to correct phase error.
Representative values for all sensors reflect the following conditions:
• Standard cable length (not using an extended cable)
• Conductor under measurement positioned in the center of the sensor
