Fluke 6100A Electrical Power Standard

The Fluke 6100A Electrical Power Standard is a precision calibration instrument for verification of electrical power measurement devices across design engineering, manufacturing, service, and standards laboratory environments. This configurable system generates pure sinusoidal waveforms and complex signals including harmonics, interharmonics, fluctuating harmonics, flicker, dips, and swells to simulate real-world power conditions. Single-phase or multi-phase operation (up to four phases) is supported through addition of 6101A Auxiliary units, enabling compliance validation against IEC 61000-4-15 and IEC 61000-4-7 standards.
