Fluke 6003A electrical power source

The 6003A electrical power source provides three independent phases of precise voltage and current in one compact device.

The source is accurate enough for calibration laboratories, with specifications of ±0.038% for power and ±0.01° for phase. Its compact form factor also makes it easy to transport and maintain in manufacturing companies, electric utility meter shops and other organisations that manufacture, maintain and calibrate power meters, energy meters, power quality analysers and similar tools.

It also sources power quality phenomena, including harmonics, inter-harmonics and dip/swell variations. It includes measurement capabilities for DC voltage, DC resistance and frequency for measuring outputs from power and energy transducers.

Because it’s a single instrument, the 6003A is easier to transport to test workloads in situ, takes up less bench space and is more cost effective to maintain than multipiece units. Its graphical user interface enables users to set up complex harmonic signals quickly and easily. It also makes the instrument remarkably easy to learn and use, so new users become productive quickly.

Specialised capabilities can be added, including an energy option, which adds a pulse counter and pulse output; a power quality option that enables the 6003A to calibrate power quality instrumentation by generating up to 63 harmonics, an interharmonic, modulation (flicker), and dips and swells on all three channels; and a 90 A adapter with high-current leads that generates up to 90 A from a single current phase to manage high-current workloads.
