Abstract

The paper describes how the Laboratory for Electrical Measurements at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, an accredited calibration laboratory, enhanced its calibration and measurement capabilities for extreme values of electrical impedance. This was conducted through development of new calibration methods for instruments that measure extreme electrical resistance and inductance. The paper also explains how these methods were validated to ensure traceability and how the measurement uncertainty in impedance instruments calibration was innovatively estimated, by deploying the data fusion concept to increase the metrology infrastructure capacity. As the testing facilities for electrical quantities in Southeast Europe are not sufficiently developed, and some calibration areas of electrical instruments are not well provided by the existing laboratories, despite the economic and scientific demands, the relevance of this metrology infrastructure upgrade is evident.
