4-58. Testing a Model 41 Power Harmonics Analyzer

The Model 41 Power Harmonics Analyzer, hereafter referred to as the Tester, requires
two voltages at varying phase relationships to test the functionality of the Power and
Harmonics features. The procedure for testing these two functions of the Tester are
included here to demonstrate the operation of the dual voltage function of the Fluke
5500A.
These procedures are included here as an example. The Model 41 Service
Manual contains the complete authoritative testing and calibration
procedures.

4-59. Testing Watts, VA, VAR Performance

Perform the following procedure to test the Watts, VA, and VAR functions of the Tester.
Refer to Table 4-4.
Ensure that the calibrator is in standby mode before making
any connection between the calibrator and Tester. Dangerous
voltages may be present on the leads and connectors.
