9. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIoNS
9.1 Definitions
The standard introduces the uncertainty inherent uncertainty IEC/EN61557-5 overall
(operational). The intrinsic uncertainty is the uncertainty of the instrument when it is used in
reference conditions.
The operating error applies under the rated operating conditions given in IEC1557-1 and the
following:
• following: injection of series interference voltages across the terminals E (ES) and S with a
RMS value of 3V and system frequencies of:
o 0Hz (DC)
o 16 + 2/3 Hz
o 50Hz
o 60Hz
o 400Hz
• resistance of the auxiliary earth electrode and of the probes: 0 to 100 x RA but ≤ 50 kΩ
The maximum percentage operating error within the measurement range does not exceed ± 30
% with the measured value as fiducially value, as determined in accordance with the following
