The Fluke 5790A AC Measurement Standard is a complete automated ac measurement standard designed for the most demanding calibration applications. It combines the accuracy you would expect from a thermal transfer standard with the ease-of-use of a digital multimeter. Absolute ac voltage measurement uncertainties are as low as ±24 ppm (one year, 23°C ±5°C). The 5790A is designed to meet the complete ac voltage and wideband verification requirements of the 5700A, 5500A and other calibrators, amplifiers like the 5725A and 5205A/5215A, and transfer standards and ac voltmeters. (Note, the 5205A/5215A amplifiers are now obsolete).
The 5790A covers an alternating voltage range of 700 µV to 1000V, and a frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. A wideband voltage option extends frequency range to 30 MHz to meet the calibration requirements of Fluke 5700A, 5720A and 5100 Series Wideband Options.
The 5790A is also compatible with A40 and A40A Current Shunts, which permit you to make ac/dc current transfer measurements up to 20A.
The 5790A may be used alone or as a transfer standard with an external dc source. In either case the normally tedious switching and calculations are performed automatically by the 5790A, and the resulting ac/dc difference is displayed directly on the easy-to-read vacuum fluorescent display.
