Class of accuracy in electrical measurements and voltmeters have a high but not infinite internal impedance. Thus the measured parameters are somewhat altered during the measurements. Let E be the EMF of the source R be the resistance of the load and r be the resistance of the ammeter. The current through the load is I When the ammeter is connected in series with the load the current I is The difference introduced by the measuring device is then, The ratio of the difference to the actual value is Class of accuracy in electrical measurements In electrical engineering class of accuracy is a figure which represents
International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units The International System of Electrical and Magnetic Units is an obsolete system of units used for measuring electrical and magnetic quantities. It was proposed as a system of practical international units by unanimous recommendation at the International Electrical Congress (Chicago, 1893), discussed at other Congresses, and finally adopted at the International Conference on Electric Units and Standards in London in 1908. It was rendered obsolete by the inclusion of electromagnetic units in the International System of Units (SI) at the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1948. The link between electromagnetic
