Abstract :
At the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology and Accreditation (METAS), the watt balance apparatus has undergone important changes in the magnetic circuit. A new magnet design has been carefully studied, experimentally tested and successfully integrated in the existing set-up. The details of this development as well as new alignment capabilities are described
