Current calibrator 5560A

temperaturevoltageresistance

Overview
The Fluke 5560A is a multi-product laboratory calibrator designed to cover broad electrical workloads with high accuracy. It supports DC/AC voltage and current, resistance, capacitance, inductance and temperature, with options for oscilloscope calibration and high-current expansion.

Key features

• Large color touch-screen with Visual Connection Management for guided connections and error reduction
• Calibrates AC/DC voltage and current, resistance, capacitance, inductance and temperature sensors (thermocouples and RTDs)
• Oscilloscope output option up to 2 GHz (amplitude, edge, bandwidth, time markers, impedance, overload)
• 30 A native continuous current output; expandable to 360 A direct or up to 6000 A with Fluke coils and 52120A amplifier
• Fast settling times, isolated terminal block and multi-unit synchronization modes

What’s in the box

• ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration certificate with data (traceable)
• Basic test leads and adapters
• Rugged transport case

Product family and model differentiation

• 5560A: Next-generation high-performance calibrator — widest workload coverage (bench 6.5-digit DMMs, oscilloscope up to 2 GHz, synthesized inductance, extended temperature connector support)
• 5550A: Performance model optimized for benchtop DMMs and oscilloscopes up to 1 GHz; improved TURs and 30 A continuous output
• 5540A: Standard model for common handheld and bench workloads (oscilloscopes to 600 MHz), optimized for cost of ownership
• 5530A: Basic calibrator for handheld DMMs and power devices (no oscilloscope capability)

Target workload & comparative capabilities
Target Workload | 5560A | 5550A | 5540A | 5530A
4.5-digit bench/handheld DMM (eg Fluke 87V) | TUR 4:1 | TUR 4:1 | TUR 4:1 | TUR 4:1
5.5-digit bench DMM (eg Fluke 8808A) | TUR 4:1 | TUR 4:1 | n/a | n/a
6.5-digit bench DMM (eg Keysight 34460A) | TUR 4:1 | n/a | n/a | n/a

Notes / Applications
Scope bandwidth options, fast edge performance and time-marker accuracy support comprehensive oscilloscope calibration. Multi-unit sync, AC power/phase/PF and dual-output modes increase workload flexibility for lab and service environments.
