Since 1988, fluke 5700 series calibrators have provided the most dependable accurate DC and low-frequency AC signals in calibration laboratories around the world. Now it's time to bring these best in class calibrators into the 21st century. Introducing the new fluke calibration 5730A high-performance multifunction calibrator - the new gold standard in electrical calibration.

Delivering the Highest Accuracy

The 5730A is the most accurate DC and low-frequency electrical calibrator available today. It builds on the accuracy of the 5720A calibrator with improved specifications for AC voltage, AC current, and resistance. This improves test uncertainty ratios, reducing the need for guard banding when calibrating even the most difficult workloads, like the fluke 8508A reference multimeter and Agilent 3458A digital multimeter.

Modern Technology and Components

But we didn't just improve the specifications; the 5730A incorporates modern surface-mount technology and digital components, advancing the proven design of the 5700A and the 5720A. The new front panel design combines the familiar keypad of the 5720A with the new 6.5-inch full-color capacitive touchscreen display.

Improved Visual Experience

Now you can easily see functional outputs, calibration settings, and calibrator status in your choice of nine languages. All secondary functions, like boost, phase shift, and wideband can be activated with a single touch. Navigate and change settings quickly and easily using the streamlined setup menu.

New Visual Connection Terminals

The 5730A visual connection management terminals help users make the correct cable connections based on the specified output. Enter a value and the appropriate output terminals light up to indicate those that will be live. This feature eliminates simple connection errors and helps prevent instrument damage.

Improved Handles and Spin Wheel

The 5730A's handles and spin wheel have been redesigned to improve comfort and feel. USB ports are placed both on the front and rear of the unit. Use the port at the front to download internal calibration constants. Use the rear port for remote connection with a PC. Ethernet RS-232 and GPIB remote interfaces are also included as standard.

Reduced Cost of Ownership

The 5730A features artifact calibration to help you increase confidence and reduce the cost of ownership. With just three standards you can transfer external traceable values to the 5730A calibrator. At that point, it measures, verifies, and adjusts itself reducing an eight-hour job to about one hour. Artifact calibration allows you to extend your calibration cycle up to two years before sending it to an accredited fluke service center for a full verification.

Know You're Within Specifications

Cal Check lets you know that the 5730A is staying within specifications between calibrations. This function checks each range and function against internal standards to monitor the drift of the instrument. You can download the results to a computer via the convenient front-panel USB port to help you track the performance of the 5730A overtime.

Boost Current Outputs

Boost current outputs to 100 amps DC and 120 amps AC by using the 5730A calibrator with a 52120A transconductance amplifier. Up to three 52120As can be connected to the 5730A in parallel for high current applications to 360 amps.

Automate Calibration

The 5730A can be fully automated using MET/CAL® calibration management software. Device mapping lets you replace an existing 5700A or 5720A in an automated calibration system without editing your library of procedures. Or, experience the most accurate performance specifications in DC LF calibration using the latest edition of MET/CAL® software.
