| Time of measurements | 2022 - |
| Status | Measurements completed |
| Measurand | Voltage magnitude (RMS value) - Voltage phase angle - Current magnitude (RMS value) - Current phase angle - Active power 1. Sinusoidal waveforms 120 V, 5 A and PF=1. Fundamental measurand. 2. IEC test signal of fundamental voltage plus 5th harmonic 10%, and fundamental current plus 5th harmonic 40%. Fundamental and 5th harmonic measurands. 3. The field recorded waveform V= NRC 0002 scaled and I= NRC 0003 scaled, see Appendix 2 of Tecnical Protocol. All harmonics including fundamental measurands. |
| Parameters | Frequency from fundamental 53 Hz up to 50th harmonic. |

| Comments | The circulation of the travelling standard restarted in September 2022 and was planned to end in April 2024, but unforseen problems in the end of the circulation caused a delay. The travelling standard was returned to the Pilot laboratory NIM in April 2025 and the final measurements were finalized in June 2025. The ananlyzis of the results and preparation of the Draft A report will be made by NPL. |
