What is BS EN 60523- Direct-current potentiometers about?
BS EN 60523 is an international standard that discusses the uses of direct-current potentiometers.
BS EN 60523 applies to DC potentiometers that have accuracy classes of 0.0001 ... 0.1 [1 ppm ... 1,000 ppm (parts per million)] [1 × 10–6 ... 1 × 10–3(scientific notation)].
BS EN 60523 also applies to auxiliary equipment which is a built-in part of the potentiometer.
Note: BS EN 60523 does not apply to potentiometers in which the null balance is obtained automatically, to those which employ graduations on a balanced detector to obtain a part of the indicated value, nor to external auxiliary equipment used with the potentiometer.
Who is BS EN 60523- Direct-current potentiometers for?
BS EN 60523 on direct-current potentiometers is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of direct-current potentiometers
- Suppliers and exporters of direct-current potentiometers
- Manufacturers of auxiliary equipment which is a built-in part of the potentiometer
- Mechanical engineers
- Electrical engineers
- Electromagnetic engineers
- Testing authorities
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 60523 - Direct-current potentiometers?
D.C. potentiometer is a voltage-measuring instrument in which the voltage to be measured is balanced against a known voltage obtained by passing a fixed current through an adjustable resistor or an adjustable current through a fixed resistor, or any combination thereof.
BS EN 60523 specifies DC potentiometers that are classified according to their accuracy classes, as a potentiometer has several measuring ranges, similarly, each range has its own class index.
BS EN 60523 assists you with the conditions for the determination of intrinsic errors, and conditions for the determination of the variations of the DC potentiometers.
BS EN 60523 presents you with the additional electrical and mechanical requirements that work as a bonus for the users to check the performance of the DC potentiometers.
BS EN 60523 provides information, markings, and symbols and helps in determining the effect of the common-mode voltage direct method. It also helps in determining the effect of the common-mode voltage indirect method (superposition method).
Overall, BS EN 60523 is useful as it provides guidance on the usage and all the relevant parameters, features, and specifications of direct-current potentiometers that can be beneficial for your business and can also help you to expand your business globally.
