The ac-dc transfer standard is one of the basic electrical standards, by which the ac voltage and ac current are deduced from their dc counterparts. A well established method is the comparison of electrical power between ac- and dc- voltage by converting the power to force or heat. Converters may be recognised as reference standard and the system is called No-dqac-dc transfer standardNo-dq. Differences in the signal between ac- and dc- power generation depend on frequency and waveform. In the low frequency regime the thermal ripple dominates the error introduced by the thermal converter. Thermocouple measurements of the bulk temperature of a bead of a single junction thermal converter suggest that a significant thermal ripple exists only at frequencies below 20Hz. A scanning infrared radiation imaging set up was used to investigate the bead’s surface. By this method frequency dependent temperature modulations were observed up to frequencies of 200Hz. The experimental method will be presented and the results will be discussed.
