What is HV resistance box calibration?
HV (high voltage) resistance box calibration ensures these precision instruments provide accurate resistance values when used for testing insulation testers, high-voltage measurement devices, and other electrical test equipment. Calibration involves verifying resistance values across multiple settings using traceable high-accuracy standards to maintain measurement reliability.
Why is calibration important for HV resistance boxes?
HV resistance boxes play a critical role in electrical testing and calibration by providing stable and precise resistance values for verifying insulation testers and high-voltage measuring instruments. Regular calibration is essential to:
- Maintain measurement accuracy and repeatability
- Ensure compliance with industry standards
- Prevent inaccuracies in high-voltage testing applications
- Support quality assurance in electrical laboratories
Drift in resistance values can affect insulation tester calibration, leading to incorrect measurements and potential safety risks.
Does Calibrationhouse offer on-site calibration for HV resistance boxes?
Calibrationhouse provides on-site calibration for a wide range of resistance measurement devices; however, due to the complexity and precision required for HV resistance box calibration, most services are performed in our Durham-based laboratory. Customers can take advantage of our rapid turnaround service to minimise downtime.
What expertise does Calibrationhouse have in calibrating HV resistance boxes?
Calibrationhouse has over 40 years of experience in resistance measurement calibration, working closely with Seaward Group brands to ensure high standards of accuracy. Our calibration expertise includes:
- Standard and high-voltage resistance decade boxes
- Insulation resistance testing equipment
- Electrical safety instrumentation
With a full suite of precision resistance standards, Calibrationhouse delivers UKAS-accredited calibration services for HV resistance boxes.
How often should an HV resistance box be calibrated?
Calibrationhouse recommends annual calibration for HV resistance boxes to maintain accurate resistance values and compliance with industry standards. Heavily used instruments may require more frequent checks to ensure continued accuracy. Customers benefit from automatic reminders for their next calibration due date.
Does Calibrationhouse provide UKAS-accredited calibration for HV resistance boxes?
Yes, Calibrationhouse offers UKAS-accredited calibration for HV resistance boxes, ensuring traceability to national and international standards. Our Durham-based laboratory provides high-accuracy calibration services using precision resistance standards up to 2GΩ, delivering industry-leading accuracy and compliance.
