6105A, 6100B Electrical Power Quality Calibrator

Validation of electrical power quality and energy measurements and the equipment that make them is required in many disciplines:

• In National Measurement Institutes (NMI) to provide precise non-sinusoidal signals and phantom power in various research applications
• In research and design to validate the function and accuracy of prototypes and first-off production units
• In manufacturing test to make certain that measurements are correct and repeatable on every unit manufactured
• In service and calibration to ensure that instruments continue to perform to specification throughout their lifetime
• In standards laboratories to calibrate secondary standards used in large scale production calibration of power quality and energy meters

The 6105A and 6100B provide the signals to allow the processes described above to be completed effectively, quickly and by lower skill operators. More importantly, it ensures that the process of validation can be completed thoroughly, accurately and with all measurements being traceable to national and international standards. The 6100A was designed to produce a comprehensive array of electrical power quality signals with exceptional accuracy over one, two, three or four phases independently and simultaneously. The 6100B and 6105A products add even more utility and extend capability into the calibration of energy. The new products provide even more flexibility than the 6100A.

Until now a system for three phases would require one 6100A Masterand two 6101A Auxiliaryunits. The 6100B and 6105A Master units can be configured as Auxiliaries merely by reconfiguring communication cables. This gives many more options for combinations of instruments in different systems. A new 50A option has been added to the 80A already available. The 50A option can be configured so that all current ranges are available through the same terminals.
