The Fluke 6100B is a high-precision electrical power standard that calibrates voltage, current, power, and energy measurement devices across manufacturing, service, calibration, and standards laboratory environments. It generates complex electrical signals with six-digit precision and sub-50 ppm accuracy, enabling validation of AC voltmeters, ammeters, power analyzers, wattmeters, and watthour meters. The instrument simulates real-world power quality disturbances including harmonics, flicker, dips, swells, and interharmonics, making it essential for type testing energy meters rated 0.1% to 2% accuracy.
