Introduction XW Warning Read Safety Information before you use the Product. This manual explains the Performance Tests for the 377/377 FC/378/378 FC Clamp Meter (the Product). See the 377/377 FC/378/378 FC Users Manual for usage information. Contact Fluke Fluke Corporation operates worldwide. For local contact information, go to our website: www.fluke.com.
377/377 FC/378/378 FC Calibration Manual Performance Test Procedures Table is a list of the standard equipment for the Performance Tests. Table 1. Standard Equipment Equipment Required Characteristics Recommended Model Calibrator 4.5-digit resolution Fluke 55xxA Transconductance Amplifier 100 A Fluke 52120A...
Clamp Meter Performance Test Procedures DC Voltage To verify dc voltage: 1. Connect the normal output HI and LO of the calibrator to the V Ω and COM input connections on the bottom of the device under test (DUT). 2. Set the DUT to (DC Volts measurement mode).
377/377 FC/378/378 FC Calibration Manual DC Current (Jaw) To verify dc current measurement with the jaw: 1. Connect the normal output HI and LO of the calibrator to the HI and LO input of the 5500A/COIL. 2. Place the DUT inside the center of the 50-turn coil. Calibration accuracy to specifications is guaranteed only when proper clamp alignment is made.
Clamp Meter Performance Test Procedures AC Current (iFlex Current with AC Voltage Simulation) To verify ac current measurement with the iFlex, use the AC voltage simulation from the calibrator: 1. Connect the normal output HI to the Calibrator Output HI to the iFlex 2 mm jack flexible probe input terminal ...
377/377 FC/378/378 FC Calibration Manual AC Current (iFlex Current Probe with 50-Turn Coil) To verify ac current measurement with the iFlex and 50-turn coil: 1. Connect the iFlex Current Probe to the DUT. 2. Place the probe centered with equal distance of the conductor and the cable within the 5500/COIL.
96 A, then input into the 25-turn coil to produce up to 2400 A ac. W Caution Read all safety Information before you use the 377/378, 52120A, and 52120A/3kCOIL. High currents are used during this test. For performance tests 0 A to 950 A, see AC Current (iFlex Current Probe with 50-Turn Coil).
Product is fully assembled. Fluke recommends a 1-year cycle for the Performance Tests. If the Product fails any test, return the Product to a Fluke Service Center or Authorized Service Partner. See Contact Fluke for more information.
