Introduction
The Fluke 6100B and 6105A Electrical Power Standards, “the Instruments”, are precise
instruments for the calibration of measuring devices used to determine the magnitude and
quality of power and electrical energy. With these Instruments, you can synthesize
sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal pseudo power with harmonics, interharmonics, fluctuating
harmonics, flicker, dips and swells. The 6100B power quality accuracy meets the
requirements of commercial power quality devices. The 6105A produces the same
flexibility of signals but with the accuracy required to type test and calibrate the most
accurate energy meters and energy calibration secondary standards.
The optional Fluke 6101B and 6106A Electrical Power Standards extend functionality to
build two, three, or four-phase (three-phase plus neutral) systems. 6101B and 6106A are
functionally interchangeable but only the 6106A delivers accuracy to match the 6105A.
Both 6100B and 6105A standards can be configured to act as auxiliary units (6101B or
the 6106A).
A 6100B or 6105A three-phase system can be connected to test three-phase four-wire
WYE, three-phase three wire Delta or three-phase four-wire Delta systems. Three-phase
unbalance conditions can be easily simulated.
It is safe to parallel current outputs to obtain higher currents than available from a single
6100B or 6105A. For example, four units with 50 A options can deliver up to 200 A with
the same accuracy as a single 50 A output.
Throughout this manual, 6100B is used generically. All operations and performance
statements apply to 6105A, 6106A, 6100B and 6101B unless specifically stated. General
specifications are provided later in this manual.
This manual contains all of the information necessary for a user to unpack, connect,
power on, and operate the 6100B, 6105A, 6101B and 6106A at a basic level.
