    We have a few CR5310-600 voltage transducers that are rated at 200ppm/C but we measured much higher thermal drift (we used calibrated oven, calibrated Fluke 8842A DMM, and calibrated powersupply).

    Here are a data points from our measurements (also attached as JPG file):
    Vin=608.41V Vout=5.0256V [54.1C]
    Vin=608.40V Vout=4.9974V [44.0C]
    Vin=607.14V Vout=4.7806V [33.5C]
    Vin=607.74V Vout=4.5974V [23.9C]

    Clearly you can see a significant thermal effect on the transducer output.

    The power supply powering the transducer was not subjected to high temperature, only transducer itself.
    Additional info on the transducer-
    QC:1110; No. 09120032357; Lot# 102047

    Can you please comment on this? We use several of these instruments in the field and are concerned about some of the readings we've seen recently.

    Do you have an option for tigher tolerance or other higher grade instrumentation?

    Sincerely,

    Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your post. We pulled one off the shelf and tested and here are our results. Please note that typical temperature variation tests usually “soak” the device for a period of time. This in most cases more closely imitates what happens in the field. Please verify that your testing follows these conventions.

    If you have followed test conventions, and these values are obviously in error, then we would definitely want to get the unit in question returned for analysis. Please contact us directly to open up an RMA case.

    Please also let us know if your application requires operation over continuously rapid changes in temperature environment. This product is not well suited for that situation, and usually a 2 piece solution is warranted removing problematic temperature sensitive components from the difficult environment.
