Performance Verification 1-13
Verifying AC current
Check AC current accuracy by applying accurate AC voltage current at specific frequencies
from the AC current calibrator to the Model 2015 input and verifying that the displayed readings
fall within specified limits. Follow these steps to verify AC current:
1. Connect the Model 2015 AMPS and INPUT LO jacks to the calibrator as shown in
Figure 1-4.

Connections for AC current verification
2. Select the AC current function by pressing the
ACI
key, then choose the SLOW integra-
tion rate with the RATE key.
3. Set the Model 2015 for the 1A range.
4. Source 1A and 2.2A, 1kHz full-scale AC currents as summarized in Table 1-5, and
verify that the readings are within stated limits.
