Abstract

A method has been developed to relate the mean value of the Istituto Elettrotechnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris (IEN) primary group of 1-Ω standard resistors to the i=2 quantum level of the Hall resistance. It is based on an automated potentiometric system, a 36×360-Ω Hamon network, and a commercial Kusters current comparator bridge. Descriptions of the equipment and of the measurement technique are given, together with a detailed uncertainty budget. The typical fractional total uncertainty of the measurement at the 1-σ level is 5×10^-8
