GNBS increases capacity to verify GPL meters

The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has moved to increase its capacity and efficacy to verify electricity meters submitted by the Guyana Power & Light (GPL). And according to a release from the bureau, this has been made possible with the acquisition of a modern electricity test bench capable of verifying five meters simultaneously.

The release informed that the equipment was recently acquired from ZERA India – a subsidiary of Zähler-Eich-und-Reparatur-Anstalt (Meter Calibration and Repair Institute) based in Koenigswinter, Germany. The subsidiary yesterday facilitated a practical training session with inspectors of the GNBS along with representatives from GPL on the proper use of the equipment.
