Remarks IFM PTP code: e42 PTP operation in even-ending years (2024, 2026, etc.) It is not necessary that ALL referenced standards are in scope for the participating laboratory. Basic equipment questions are also included in this PTP. Sample description Participants are supplied with a transformer (EUT). An input voltage is to be applied to the primary winding and a resistive load attached to the specified secondary output. The temperature rise is to be determined using the change in the resistance method. Draft PTP instructions can be found in the IFM Electrical PTP order form for laboratory review of program applicability.
