The Fluke 732A DC Voltage Reference Standard is a precision solid-state instrument engineered as a direct replacement for saturated standard cells in calibration and metrology applications. It delivers superior resolution, lower noise, and simplified operation compared to legacy references. The unit combines exceptional long-term stability with flexible power architecture—supporting AC line voltage, internal rechargeable battery, or external DC/AC sources—enabling reliable operation in laboratory and field environments. All outputs feature short-circuit protection with 2-minute recovery, and the instrument is rated for direct air or ground shipment without special handling requirements.
