Active Loop Compensation module will compensate for residual resistance when
performing loop and line impedance calibrations.
Residual Current Device Testing
In the RCD function, the Calibrator acts as a circuit breaker to calibrate trip time in the
range of 10 ms to 5 s, and trip current in the range of 3 mA to 3 A. All tested parameters
of the UUT are scanned and displayed on the Calibrator’s front-panel display.
Leakage Current Source
The Calibrator sources simulated leakage current from 0.1 to 30 mA with a maximum
compliance voltage up to 250 V ac. Leakage current modes include touch, substitute, and
differential current.
AC/DC Voltage Generation (5320A/VLC Only)
When equipped with the ac/dc voltage calibrator, the Calibrator is capable of calibrating
the voltmeter function on many electrical safety testers. The voltage range is 3 to 600
volts both ac and dc. The ac frequency range is 40 to 400 Hz. This voltage source also
generates stable power line voltage for powering appliance testers.
Meter Functions
The Calibrator is equipped with a built-in low frequency voltmeter and ammeter. The
voltmeter measures up to 1100 volts, while the ammeter measures up to 30 amps. UUT
power consumption is calculated by taking the measured voltage and current and then
calculating the VA.
Other Features
For ease of use, the Calibrator includes other features such as setup menus, correct power
line connection testing, hardware and software overload protection, in addition to many
others.
Front-panel control of the Calibrator is accomplished through function keys for
frequently used functions, edit controls, and menu selection soft keys. All necessary
information such as Calibrator status, menu selections and readings are displayed through
a flat luminescent display on the front panel.
The Calibrator is equipped with an IEEE 488 bus, an RS-232 serial port, and a LAN
interface for controlling the Calibrator from a PC or instrument controller.
Instruction Manuals
The Calibrator ships with a manual set that contains information for the user and
programmer. The set includes:
• 5320A Getting Started Manual (PN 2634331)
• 5320A Users Manual (CD ROM, PN 2634346)
Order additional copies of these manuals using the part numbers provided. For ordering
instructions, refer to a Fluke catalog or contact a Fluke sales representative.
