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
Conventional electrical unit Conventional electrical unit A conventional electrical unit (or conventional unit where there is no risk of ambiguity) is a unit of measurement in the field of electricity which is based on the so-called "conventional values" of the Josephson constant and the von Klitzing constant agreed by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1988. These units are very similar in scale to their corresponding SI units, but are not identical because of their different definition. They are distinguished from the corresponding SI units by setting the symbol in italic typeface and adding a subscript "90" – e.g., the
