Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a new power standard based on a commercial thermocouple sensor. A calibration with a twin microcalorimeter has been performed in order to determine the effective efficiency of the sensor. A study of the uncertainty budget allowed to observe the parameters contributing most to the uncertainty of the effective efficiency.
