What is phasing stick calibration?
Phasing stick calibration ensures that these specialised high-voltage instruments provide accurate phase comparison and voltage measurement. Calibration involves verifying phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth readings against a higher-precision standard to ensure reliability in electrical safety and switchgear testing.
Why is calibration important for phasing sticks?
Phasing sticks are used in critical high-voltage applications, particularly in the utility and electrical engineering sectors. Regular calibration is essential to:
- Ensure phase comparison accuracy for electrical systems
- Verify phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth voltage readings
- Maintain operator safety in high-voltage environments
- Meet industry compliance and electrical safety standards
Incorrect readings from uncalibrated phasing sticks can lead to misdiagnosed faults, electrical hazards, and potential system failures.
Can phasing sticks be calibrated onsite?
No, due to the high-voltage testing requirements, phasing stick calibration cannot be performed onsite. Calibrationhouse exclusively calibrates phasing sticks at its high-voltage testing facility in County Durham, where dedicated Faraday cage testing ensures safe and precise calibration.
What expertise does Calibrationhouse have in calibrating phasing sticks?
Calibrationhouse has over 40 years of experience in the design, manufacture, and calibration of high-voltage testing equipment, including phasing sticks. Our team has expertise in calibrating:
- Standalone phasing sticks
- Complete phasing stick test kits
- Seaward PR11, PR15D, and PR33D phasing sticks
- Phasing rods, voltage indicators, and detachable earth leads
With extensive experience in switchgear and high-voltage testing applications, Calibrationhouse ensures precise calibration for all makes and models of phasing sticks.
How often should a phasing stick be calibrated?
Calibrationhouse recommends annual calibration for all phasing sticks to ensure continued measurement accuracy and electrical safety compliance. Heavily used instruments may require more frequent calibration checks to maintain performance.
To assist customers, Calibrationhouse provides automatic reminders for yearly calibration services.
