Video: Testing the Fluke 6003A Electrical Meters

Testing and calibrating three-phase energy meters can be difficult, time consuming, and thus, costly. This video shows how the Fluke Calibration Three Phase Power Calibrator simplifies the task.

The 6003A has four energy testing modes that allow you to test a variety of energy meters: Free Run, Counter, Timer and Packet. The video discusses these modes in more detail and shows when and how they are most useful.

Testing and calibrating three-phase energy meters can be difficult time-consuming and thus costly, this is mainly due to the process required to fully test and verify the output of the meter energy meters almost without exception.

Use a technique of generating pulses to indicate the amount of energy they have measured, each pulse represent a specific number of Walled hours calibrations are traditionally performed using a reference measurement technique where a known amount of energy is simultaneously is supplied to a reference meter and the meter under test.

A reading from the reference meter is then compared to a reading from the uut and the error is calculated. Three separate pieces of calibration equipment are required to complete this task, one a power supply that can provide three-phases of voltage and current to a three-phase reference energy meter and three the device for counting pulses both from the reference meter and the uut which then compares the two counts.

As you can imagine this is a lot of work to make sure that each piece of equipment is connected and communicating properly how can this process be simplified you may ask, the answer is the Fluke Calibration.

6003 three-phase power calibrator, the 6003a was designed specifically for testing energy meters and it makes calibrating and testing them simple. It combines all three necessary piece of equipment into one simple, easy-to-use calibrator the 6003 a has for energy testing modes that allow you to test a variety of energy meters those modes are free run counter timer and packet all of these most provided away at like easily configuring a test to output a precise.
