Electrical Measurements

Electrical measurements quantify the electromagnetic phenomena that power the modern world. From microscopic semiconductor junctions to international power grids, rigorous electrical metrology guarantees functionality, safety, and efficiency across all technological domains.

At the core of electrical metrology are quantities such as electric current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and inductance. The realization of these units relies heavily on quantum mechanical effects, primarily the Josephson effect for voltage and the quantum Hall effect for resistance, providing intrinsically stable standards independent of environmental conditions.
