COURSE OVERVIEW:

The meaning of this course lies in the technical precision required to calibrate the sophisticated electronic instrumentation that underpins modern laboratory measurements. Electrical metrology is the invisible foundation of almost every analytical device, from pH meters to mass spectrometers. This program provides the specialized engineering and metrological knowledge needed to perform high-accuracy calibrations of voltage, current, resistance, and frequency, ensuring that the electronic "heart" of the laboratory beats with absolute reliability.

The scope of the training focuses on the practical execution of electrical calibration using multi-product calibrators and high-precision digital multimeters (DMMs). It addresses the technical challenges of managing electromagnetic interference (EMI), lead resistance, and thermal EMFs that can degrade the accuracy of trace-level measurements. Participants will explore the specific calibration requirements for temperature controllers, timers, and specialized laboratory sensors, ensuring that every electronic parameter is traceable to national standards.

The coverage includes a deep investigation into the calculation of uncertainty for electrical parameters and the implementation of "Guard Banding" for tight-tolerance electronic devices. The course emphasizes the troubleshooting of electronic drift, the maintenance of reference standards, and the validation of automated calibration software. By mastering these electrical calibration techniques, participants will be able to perform in-house metrology for a wide range of laboratory assets, reducing external costs and ensuring the highest levels of instrument uptime.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core principles of electrical metrology and the SI units.
• Perform high-precision DC and AC voltage and current calibrations.
• Utilize multi-product calibrators for the verification of laboratory DMMs.
• Manage the impact of "Lead Resistance" and "Loading Errors" on data.
• Calibrate resistance-based temperature devices (RTDs) and thermocouples.
• Execute frequency and time-interval calibrations for lab timers.
• Calculate expanded uncertainty for complex electrical measurements.
• Implement "Guard Banding" for the calibration of tight-tolerance devices.
• Troubleshoot "Noise" and "Interference" in sensitive electrical circuits.
• Validate automated calibration software and procedures.
• Manage the metrological traceability of electrical reference standards.
• Design an internal electrical calibration schedule for laboratory assets.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Metrology Technicians, Instrument Engineers, Calibration Specialists, and Laboratory Managers responsible for electronic equipment maintenance.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
