Product Overview
The Fluke BT520 Battery Analyzer (the Product) is a multifunctional meter designed for
the test and measurement of a stationary battery system. The Product can measure the
battery internal resistance and voltages. These measurements can be used to determine
the overall condition of the system. It can also measure electrical parameters for battery
system maintenance, including dc voltage up to 600 V, ac voltage up to 600 V rms, and
ripple voltage.
Features of the Product include:
•
CAT III 600 V Safety Rated – The Product can measure a maximum of 600 V ac in
a Category III environment.
•
Battery Internal Resistance – Via the Kelvin connections, the Product measures
the internal resistance. An increase in the internal resistance from a known baseline
indicates the battery is deteriorating. The testing takes less than 3 seconds.
