Precision Perfected with RADIAN

RADIAN RX-20

The RX-20 provides ±0.04% (400 ppm) energy accuracy at 0.5 power factor and serves as a dependable single-phase reference standard for meter testing, calibration activities, and precision measurement applications. It offers consistent measurement performance for single-phase voltage, current, power, and energy while maintaining predictable behavior over time.

Voltage accuracy is 0.02% (200 ppm) and direct AC current accuracy is 0.028% (280 ppm) at TCAL. Power accuracy aligns with the energy class at 0.04% (400 ppm). Long-term drift is managed through a stability specification of 8 ppm × √month, providing stable long-term operation. For energy, the temperature coefficient is 5 ppm/°C, ensuring reliable results as environmental conditions vary.

Performance Highlights

• Power and Energy accuracy: ±0.04% (400 ppm) 0.02% / 200 ppm at PF=1)

• Voltage accuracy: 0.02% (200 ppm)

• Current accuracy: 0.028% (280 ppm)

• Stability: 8 ppm × √month

• Energy temperature coefficient: 5 ppm/°C

• Single-phase reference standard

The RX-21 delivers ±0.02% (200 ppm) energy accuracy at 0.5 power factor, offering a reduced uncertainty class compared with the RX-20 while maintaining the same single-phase capability. This performance applies to both energy and power, enabling improved traceability and tighter measurement budgets for customers requiring more controlled uncertainty.

Voltage accuracy is 0.01% (100 ppm) and direct AC current accuracy is 0.014% (140 ppm) at TCAL. Long-term drift is minimized with a stability specification of 4 ppm × √month, supporting more consistent measurements over extended periods. For energy, the temperature coefficient is 5 ppm/°C, maintaining reliable performance as temperature conditions shift.

Performance Highlights

• Power and Energy accuracy: ±0.02% (200 ppm) (0.01% / 100 ppm at PF=1)

• Voltage accuracy: 0.01% (100 ppm)

• Current accuracy: 0.014% (140 ppm)

• Stability: 4 ppm × √month

• Energy temperature coefficient: 5 ppm/°C

• Single-phase reference standard

The RX-23 provides ±0.01% (100 ppm) energy accuracy at 0.5 power factor, representing the tightest energy accuracy class within the single-phase RX-20 series. This accuracy level also applies to power, supporting advanced calibration laboratories and measurement environments that require minimized uncertainty and improved long-term stability.

Voltage accuracy is 0.005% (50 ppm) and direct AC current accuracy is 0.007% (70 ppm) at TCAL. Power accuracy improves to 0.005% (50 ppm) when measured at unity power factor. Long-term drift is controlled through a stability specification of 4 ppm × √month. For energy measurements, the temperature coefficient is 5 ppm/°C, ensuring performance remains consistent across environmental changes.
