Conclusions
-
1.
The compensating converter with the photodiode makes it possible to attain higher accuracy of measurements of quantities of illumination engineering than in measurements making use of direct conversion methods; the design of the primary converter is rather simple but dependable in operation.
-
2.
In order to increase the accuracy of a converter of this type, measures must be taken to restrict the range of temperatures at which the photodiode is operated to the interval in which the condition r≪R0 is satisfied.
