Product catalog summary
Introduction
The RD-30 is a versatile three-phase reference standard with a typical accuracy of ±0.02% at power factor (PF) of 1, and a worst-case accuracy of ±0.04% for PF ≥ 0.5. It is designed to measure real-world waveforms accurately, using advanced analog to digital conversion and electronically compensated transformers.

Characteristics
The RD-30 includes a Harmonic Analysis option for analyzing up to the 64th harmonic order and a built-in Comparator for automatic test result calculations. It can test revenue meters and reference standards using a controlled current source and perform three-phase meter accuracy tests in the field.

RD-30 THREE-PHASE REFERENCE STANDARD-2

INTRODUCTION The RD-30 three-phase reference standard is one of the most versatile reference instruments ever. The RD-30 has a typical accuracy of ±0.02% @ PF=1 for all measurement functions across its entire operating range, with a maximum worst case accuracy of ±0.04%. This worst case accuracy specification includes the variables of stability, power factor, traceability uncertainty and test system errors. A unique design makes the RD-30 unsurpassed in its ability to accurately measure "real world" waveforms. The RD-30 reference meter includes an exclusive analog to digital signal converter...
