Part of our Metrology Research Centre, the electrical standards team is responsible for realizing the electrical units, providing calibration services to clients from Canadian industry and other government departments in Canada, as well as international clients.
Our expertise
Through its DC resistance laboratory, the electrical standards team uses an in-house designed and fabricated cryogenic current comparator, which provides the highest accuracy for the comparison of resistors and is one of only a few operating in the world.
The lab also develops standards for other electrical quantities of importance, such as DC voltage, capacitance, inductance, AC voltage and current, radiofrequency and microwave power, and attenuation and scattering parameters.
Our latest research
The voltage laboratory is developing measurement techniques for the coherent digital sampling of AC voltage waveforms, a paradigm shift from detector-based to source-based AC standards.
