1-1. Introduction

The Fluke 6100A Electrical Power Standard is a precise instrument for the calibration of
measuring devices used to determine the magnitude and quality of power supplied to consumers.
With the 6100A instrument, you can synthesize irregular power supplies with phenomena of
voltage harmonics, interharmonics, fluctuating harmonics, flicker, dips and swells.
The optional Fluke 6101A Auxiliary Power Standard extends the functionality to a second phase.
It is possible to add additional phases as required to build up to a fully configured four phase (3
phase plus neutral) system.
Specifications are provided at the end of this chapter.

1-2. Features

Traceable Power Measurement
Configurable from 1 to 4 independent phases
