accuracy Accuracy and precision are two measures of '' observational error''. ''Accuracy'' is how close a given set of measurements (observations or readings) are to their '' true value'', while ''precision'' is how close the measurements are to each ot ...
from IEC-751 that requires accuracy of ± 0.15 degrees Celsius. Class 0.5 is an ANSI C12.20 accuracy class for electric meters with absolute accuracy better than ± 0.5% of the nominal full scale reading. Typically, a class specifies accuracy at a number of points, with the absolute accuracy at lower values being better than the nominal "percentage of full scale" accuracy. Accuracy classes such as IEC's 0.15s are a 'special' high accuracy class. Calculation for accuracy of class 1 meter: 1600 impulse/KWh and considering, P.F= 1 and LOAD = 100w Revolution time, Rt = (3600×Kh×1)/Load(w) ''Kh = 1000/(impulse/Kwh=1600) Rt = (3600×0.625×1)/100 Rt = 22.5sec tandard %of error = (Ft-Rt)/Rt The positive or negative result indicates whether the meter is fast or slow. If the result is positive then the meter is fast, while negative means the meter is slow. Measurement {{measurement-stub
