5320A Multifunction Electrical Tester Calibrator

Verify and calibrate electrical test tools with a single instrument

Wide workload coverage with a single instrument

If you are using a custom solution to calibrate electrical testers manually, you will realize significant productivity improvements by using a 5320A calibrator with MET/CAL Plus Calibration Management Software.
Test instruments that verify the safety of electrical installations, appliances, and other electrical/electronic devices are becoming more common, thanks in part to regulatory standards. For example, installation and portable appliance testing regulations such as EN 61557 (16th Edition) in the United Kingdom, and VDE 0100/0700 in Germany are designed to protect users from hazards such as electrocution and re. Safety standards such as CCC in China, CE in Europe, UL and CSA in North America, drive regulatory testing for new electrical and electronic products, by using electrical safety testers (hipots) in the nal stages of manufacturing. Traditionally, calibrating electrical testers requires a lot of equipment. You need one set of calibration instruments for insulation testers, another set for loop/line impedance testers, another for high voltage dielectric breakdown testers (hipots)and yet another set of instruments for ground bond testers. All of this equipment takes up valuable space on your workbench. But thats not the only disadvantage. You also have to maintain each item, keeping it in working order and in calibration, with the appropriate documentation and procedures. You may need to train technicians to use each instrument. And, of course, automating the calibration process becomes difcult, if not impossible, when multiple pieces of equipment are involved. Now there is a better solution: the Fluke 5320A Multifunction Electrical Tester Calibrator. The Fluke 5320A enables you to verify and calibrate a wide range of electrical test tools with a single instrument. Using one instrument instead of many simplies your processes, allowing you to realize efciencies in equipment utilization and training. Automating the 5320A with MET/CAL Plus Calibration Software adds even more efciencies, along with better throughput and consistency. And the 5320A is easy to use, helping you to get up and running quickly.

Custom Manual Method 5320A and MET/CAL

Multifunction installation testers

The 5320A has all the functionality needed to calibrate installation testers with insulation resistance, continuity, loop, RCD and earth resistance test capabilities.

Insulation resistance testers

The 5320A calibrator sources highohms, high voltage resistors and measures the high voltage output of megohm meters and other portable and bench insulation testers. When calibrating insulation resistance testers up to 1.5 kV, you can select a wide range of continuously variable resistance values, from 10 k to 10 G, with 4 digit resolution and one single value of 100 G. When calibrating 5 kV insulation testers, the external 10 kV dual function adapter extends the resistors range up to 10 T. The adapter functions both as a 1000:1 voltage divider to 10 kV, and as a x1000 resistance multiplier.

Portable appliance testers (PATs)

The 5320A has all the functionality needed to calibrate PATs, with insulation resistance, ground bond, leakage current, flash voltage and load test capabilities.

Continuity testers and earth (ground) resistance testers

To calibrate these low ohms testers, a calibrator must be able to source precision low ohms. From its low ohms precision resistors, the 5320A calibrator sources resistance values ranging from 100 m to 10 k, with 3 digits of resolution. Choose 2-wire or 4-wire modes for maximum flexibility.

Leakage current testers

Simulate a leakage current for direct/ touch, differential and substitute leakage current methods with 4 digit resolution from 0.1 mA to 30 mA. The 5320A lets you choose the method that works best for your test, unlike other calibrators that only offer a single method.

Hipot testers
Electrical safety testing with hipots is an integral part of development and manufacturing of electronic and electrical products, ranging from refrigerators to power supplies. Such testing is often required by government regulations to ensure product safety. The Fluke 5320A provides bestin-class hipot calibration of ac and dc voltage. The built-in 1000 V meter measures voltage and current. For voltages over 1 kV, Fluke provides a standard 10 kV adapter or an optional 40 kV probe. With the 10 kV adapter, ac voltages to 10 kV can be calibrated with 0.5 % uncertainty. Either item can be used with the built-in meter to measure voltage over 1000 V. For calibration of hipot current up to 100 mA, Fluke offers a load adapter accessory. Use the load adapter in conjunction with the 5320A built-in current meter for full calibration of hipots. (Load adapter available early 2007).

Loop/line impedance testers and ground bond testers

The 5320A calibrator has 16 high power, high current resistors it can source to increase the resistance of a loop or line by a known amount. Use Scan mode to automatically determine the resistance of the loop, and use Active Loop Compensation mode (5320A/VLC) to compensate for any residual impedance in the loop or line.

Voltmeters
Many testers have built-in voltmeters. But you dont need an additional calibrator to test this part of the workload. The 5320A/VLC calibrator adds a precision voltage source to 600 V with 0.1 % uncertainty, to calibrate ac/dc voltmeters.

Maximize your workload coverage with the Fluke 5320A Calibrator

The Fluke 5320A Multifunction Electrical Tester Calibrator combines many functions into a single instrument, replacing discrete resistors, decade boxes and other custom solutions commonly used to calibrate electrical testers. Its flexible and precise enough to calibrate a wide range of instrumentation.

Residual-current device (RCD) or ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) testers

The 5320A simulates a circuit breaker (an RCD/GFCI) to verify and calibrate trip current and trip time, without tripping the installations current breakers. For most RCD testers, trip times are calculated to an uncertainty of 0.25 ms, to provide better than 4:1 test uncertainty ratios (TUR). Trip current uncertainty is 1 %, which also provides better than 4:1 TURs in most applications.

Medical safety testers

With the broad functionality and high accuracy of the Fluke 5320A, calibrating medical safety testers is a snap, allowing you to add these items to your calibration workload.

This versatile calibrator is also remarkably easy to use.
