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.
