Calorimetric Measuring Systems: Characterizing High-Frequency Power Losses in Power Electronic Components and Systems

Abstract

This paper discusses the calorimetric measuring system. The calorimetric principle is one of the most promising methods for accurate power measurements. A calorimetric wattmeter provides a useful tool for use in the developments of new, energy-efficient, electrical components for industrial and consumer products. Power measurements can be performed with an accuracy of 0.2% of full-scale deflection using the proposed calorimetric measuring method.
