  • Page 11: Introduction

    Introduction The Fluke Calibration 5730A Calibrator (the “Calibrator” or the “Product”) can calibrate a wide variety of electrical measurement instruments. The 5730A Calibrator maintains a high accuracy over a wide ambient temperature range. This accuracy lets the Calibrator test instruments in any environment, and eliminates the restrictions to calibrate only in a temperature-controlled standards laboratory.

  • Page 19: 5730A Calibration

    Multifunction Calibrator 5730A Calibration The Calibrator achieves its exceptional ac voltage accuracy by the use of a patented Fluke Calibration rms sensor to make real-time ac/dc comparison measurements. The Fluke Calibration rms sensor is similar in principle to the traditional thermal voltage converter, but has a shorter time constant, virtually no reversal error, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and better frequency response.

  • Page 20: Establish Traceability

    Calibration Reports The 5730A Calibrator stores two sets of calibration constants: the set currently in use and the old set from the previous calibration. This gives the Calibrator the ability at any time to produce a calibration report of the differences between the present settings and the settings that were in effect before the last calibration.
