[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric energy meter measurement, and in particular to a method for calibrating an atomic time scale of a user's electric energy meter. Background Art

[0002] The accuracy of the energy meter is related to the actual power consumption of the power user. The error needs to be calibrated by the power grid detection unit. Figure 1 The power grid detection unit where the inventor works needs to connect a standard electric energy meter (called the standard meter) in parallel with the user's electric energy meter (called the meter under test) during calibration, sample the current and voltage output by the three-phase precision measurement power source under the same conditions, and control and output the measurement results through a microcomputer to determine the error; but the problem that still exists in this model is how to prove that the standard electric energy meter is accurate, so a third-party department needs to supervise it. At present, electric energy meters are becoming more intelligent with the development of computer technology. With the development of network transmission speed, the time scale is generated by the internal atomic clock of the electric energy meter. When the above test needs to be performed through the network, the time scale needs to be calibrated first, and then accurate output parameters are obtained to obtain accurate measurement results. Therefore, the calibration method of the time scale is involved in the present invention. Summary of the invention

Finally, the clock difference between the atomic clock inside the detection platform and the clock of the reference meter of the third-party department is calculated as △=△2-△1=X2-X-(X1-X)=X2-X1.

After adjusting the display of the internal atomic clock to make it tend to the display of the third-party department's reference table, accurate measurement results can be obtained through repeated comparison. The present invention eliminates the doubts of the user of the meter being tested about the test results, and can timely and accurately calibrate the standard meter during the test process, thereby protecting the user's rights and interests in using the meter.
