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 and Measures (CIPM) approved a new set of definitions for electrical units, based on the rationalized MKSA system, in 1946, and these were internationally adopted under the Metre Convention by the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1948. Under this system, which would become the International System of Units (SI), the ohm is a derived unit. The SI definitions of the electrical units are formally equivalent to the 1908 international definitions, and so there should not have been any change in the size of the units. Nevertheless, the international ohm and the international volt were not usually realized
