Results of DC Measuments on a Coaxial Resistor

Abstract

In this report, we briefly describe the most recent results from tests on the calculable resistance prototypes from the Electrical Standards Metrology Laboratory from Inmetro (Lampe/Inmetro). These prototypes were built using a different project from that originally proposed by Haddad, in which the resistive element is mechanically fixed. A new fixation system of the resistive wire elements was conceived, in order to overcome experimental difficulties, and the results of new measurement runs are presented here.
