Abstract :
This paper discusses systematic errors in the AC-DC difference determination resulting from the comparison of thermal voltage converters with different input connectors. Tests of two asymmetrical tees, with GR-874 and type-N arms, as well as the internal tee of the NRC calorimetric thermal voltage converter, are presented
