OREANDA-NEWS. Yokogawa Meters & Instruments Corporation announces that it will release the 2558A AC voltage current standard. The 2558A is a low-cost, high-precision instrument capable of outputting a wide range of AC voltages and currents for the calibration of electric meters and other devices. In terms of accuracy and other performance characteristics, this new model is a significant upgrade from our previous model, the 2558 AC voltage current standard, and has useful design features that improve both usability and efficiency.

Voltage and current meters need regular calibration to ensure measurement accuracy. It can be very time consuming and expensive, however, to send a meter back to the manufacturer or some other service provider for calibration. Many companies thus have the need for a high-precision voltage/current standard or calibrator that will allow them to perform this work in house. There also is a need for such high-precision standards or calibrators in the development and inspection of meters and current transformers (CT).

Since the 1970s, Yokogawa has been offering instruments for measuring voltage, current, resistance, pressure, and temperature that set a high standard for precision, and is now regarded as one of the leading companies in this field. The 2558A is a high-precision AC voltage current standard that outputs a wide range of voltages and currents. This model is specialized for AC voltage/current generation, and is thus an ideal low-cost option for use in the calibration and inspection of meters and CTs.

Yokogawa will continue to extend its lineup of voltage/current standards to enhance the quality of development work and improve work efficiency, and thereby expand its high-precision measuring instruments business.
