Fluke 5790B Measurement Standard Demo Video

Transcript

My name’s Marty Kidd with Fluke Calibration. Today I’m going to be demonstrating how to use an A40B Current Shunt with a 5790B as the detector. Actually, you use the corrections in the 5790B to give you the actual output readings from the A40B.

The first thing we need to do is we need to make sure we have the calibration data set up. If you have your calibration data, now you can actually enter in your dc resistance error off the certificate of calibration. You can enter in your ac/dc difference across the different frequencies. You can enter in your loading error. Now it’s set up.

I’ve got one Amp set up on my 5730A and now I’ve got my corrected current output. This is the actual voltage, 800 millivolts is being applied, this is the corrected output. If I switch to 100 Hertz I have my corrected output for 100 Hz. It’s as easy as that. You just have to enter in your data for your A40B and 5790B is an awesome detector for measuring current, ac and dc.
