 Calibrating clamp meters and ammeters
The increased 30 A output enables you to use the 55x0A Family
as a 30 A calibrator for higher current workloads, such as clamp
meters up to 1500 A (with optional current coil).

Continuous output means you don’t need to put the calibrator on

standby for cool down periods while using the current function.
That lets you increase throughput, which can be a real time-saver
if you calibrate a lot of ammeters.

A new optional 1-, 2-, 10-turn current coil and a redesigned 50-turn
current coil work with the 55x0A Family to enable you to calibrate
workload that includes clamp-type current meters and oscilloscope
current probes. Each coil, like the calibrator, is designed for
continuous use at 30 A with a minimum duty cycle which improves
calibration throughput as much as four times.

As an added benefit Effective Current Display on the 5560A and

5550A makes it easy to compare directly with the clamp meter
measurement.

Expand workload coverage even more. Use the 55x0A Family with
the Fluke Calibration 52120A Transconductance Amplifier to increase
the current output to 6000 A, ideal for calibrating high-current
components such as Rogowski coils.

 Calibrate oscilloscopes
Three options provide capabilities to calibrate oscilloscopes to 2 GHz with the 5560A;
1 GHz with the 5550A; or 600 MHz with the 5540A. Easily verify dynamic response,
bandwidth, timing, multiple triggering functions, input resistance and more.

Rise time is a crucial oscilloscope calibration specification. An oscilloscope should

have fast rise time for it to capture rapid transitions; otherwise, the results could be
misleading and significant information may not be displayed. The 5560A, 5550A, and
5540A calibrators feature a faster edge specification to enable coverage of a wide
variety of oscilloscopes. You can accurately source a rapid transition to calibrate
fast edge rise times in modern oscilloscopes. Edge is less than 175 pS, a 58%
improvement from the 5522A calibrator.

The 5560A, 5550A and 5540A also include improved leveled sine wave output. SSB
phase noise is now specified in each model, allowing you to see a more accurate
output signal. The source VSWR is also specified and verified. These improved
specifications, when combined with leveled sine, allow calibration of increasingly
demanding workload.

Using the options to calibrate oscilloscopes lets you simplify operator training
because technicians only need to learn to use one calibrator.

5540A Reduces Cost of Ownership with simplified verification and calibration. Verifying the 5540A to it published
specifications is possible with significantly reduced capital equipment compared to the 5560A, 5550A and 5530A,
making it a great choice for users that have self-maintenance needs.

Reverse power protection without false tripping

The 55x0A Family provide reverse power protection and immediate output disconnection on the output terminals for
all functions. The protections apply to external voltages up to 300 Vpk and help protect the calibrator’s internal circuitry
from costly operator error—preventing damage and keeping the calibrator up and running.

1000 V direct amplifier

A newly designed amplifier enables the calibrator to generate low frequency AC voltages without the use of a trans-
former. Reducing weight and increasing settling times.

Optional portability kit

For those who work in the field, the portability kit protects the calibrator and makes it easier to transport. The kit
includes front/rear bumpers and an easy-grip side handle.

A transit case (included) is designed for shipping the calibrator, with or without the portability kit.

The optional portability kit protects the calibrator and makes it easier to transport.
