Make measurement easier: verify and calibrate electrical test tools with a single instrument
July 2008Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
The Fluke 5320A multifunction electrical tester calibrator is an accurate, flexible instrument that allows users to calibrate many different types and models of electrical testers efficiently and effectively.
The 5320A replaces resistors, decade boxes, and other custom calibration solutions with a single instrument. It features precision high-voltage high-current resistors, to give better test uncertainty ratios (TURs).
Using one multifunction instrument instead of many frees up valuable bench space and simplifies the processes of calibrating electrical testers. A large, bright, full-colour screen displays values clearly, and shows which terminals are active in an easy-to-comprehend graphic format. An illustrated help guide is built into the instrument to provide additional assistance if needed.
The Fluke 5320A calibrates a broad range of equipment, including:
* Hi-pot testers.
* Insulation resistance testers.
* Loop/line impedance testers.
* Continuity testers.
* Earth resistance testers.
* Ground bond testers.
* Leakage current testers.
* Circuit breaker testers.
* Multifunction installation testers.
* Portable appliance testers.
* Medical electrical safety testers.
For greater efficiency, the 5320A can be automated with MET/CAL Plus Calibration Management Software. MET/CAL Plus software has become the industry standard for automating the calibration process and managing the inventory in calibration laboratories. MET/CAL Plus is a complete, scalable and affordable solution.
Engineering partnership delivers longer life for vibrating feeders in mining
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
: OST-Africa’s combination of VISAM vibrating motors and advanced rubber mounting technology has helped Euro Sales achieve a 30 to 40% increase in component life on vibrating feeders at several major mining operations, with zero mount failures in the first 12 months.
