Fluke 52120A Transconductance Amplifier
Description of Fluke 52120A Transconductance Amplifier
The Fluke 52120A is a transconductance amplifier designed for users who aim to enhance the calibration capabilities of their laboratories. It addresses issues such as limited output current, accuracy, and drive capability of existing test equipment. It is applicable in calibration laboratories, electrical utilities, and is suitable for manufacturers of power/energy instrumentation and meters, power quality analyzers, or power converters, as well as users of electrical test and measurement equipment.
The Fluke Calibration 52120A Transconductance Amplifier supplies dc current up to 100 amps and ac current up to 120 amps, at accuracies to 140 ppm. Using accessory coils, it can generate 3,000 or 6,000 amps. Three 52120As connected in parallel can output up to 360 amps. Inductive drive capability of 1 mH and compliance voltage of 4.5 volts support a wide range of applications.
-
High - Current Output: It can supply up to 100 A of DC current and 120 A of AC current. When using accessory coils, it can generate 3000 A or 6000 A of current. With three 52120As connected in parallel, it can output up to 360 A.
-
High - Accuracy Calibration: The accuracy can reach up to 140 ppm, ensuring precise calibration of various high - current working load devices, including power and energy meters, clamp meters, and current transformers.
