[volt-nuts] Old v. New Volt?

[frank.stellmach at freenet.de]

Brooke,
 
I had the very same encounter in 1989/1990.
I received the new 3458A in November 1989, and only 1 month later, on 1st January 1990, the New Volt (SI-1990) went effective.
As my instrument came directly from the U.S., the difference in calibration was 9.264ppm, which the instrument now was reading high.
 
You may read my whole volt-nuts story related to this SI - change here:

The 332B might not have been your reference standard, as its uncertainty is 10ppm / 60days only.
 
Maybe you had a 732A, or a bank of Weston cells in your lab, otherwise this change could not securely be observed by a solitary Fluke 33xB/D.
 
best regards
Frank
