The Fluke 5790A Automated AC Measurement Standard is a complete automated AC measurement standard designed for demanding calibration applications. It combines thermal-transfer-standard accuracy with the operating convenience of a digital multimeter, covering an alternating voltage range of 700 µV to 1000 V and a frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz, with absolute AC voltage measurement uncertainties as low as ±24 ppm (one year, 23 °C ±5 °C).

The 5790A is designed to meet the complete AC voltage and wideband verification requirements of the Fluke 5700A, 5500A, and 5100 Series calibrators, amplifiers such as the 5725A and 5205A, and transfer standards and AC voltmeters. It is also compatible with the Fluke A40 and A40A Current Shunts, enabling AC/DC current transfer measurements up to 20 A. The instrument may be used alone or as a transfer standard with an external DC source, with switching and calculations performed automatically and the resulting AC/DC difference displayed directly on the vacuum fluorescent display.

## Brand Heritage

Fluke Corporation, founded in 1948, is the long-established American test and measurement manufacturer best known for precision multimeters and calibration instruments. The Fluke metrology product line, including AC measurement standards and transfer instruments, has remained under continuous Fluke development. Fluke became part of Danaher Corporation in 1998, and in 2016 Fluke's industrial group was transferred to Fortive Corporation when Fortive was spun off from Danaher. The Fluke brand and engineering organization have been preserved throughout.

**Important:** Maximum non-destructive input is 1200 V rms on the standard measurement inputs and 200 V rms on the wideband input. Guard isolation is 10 V peak (0.5 V peak on the wideband input). Volt-hertz product is 1 × 10⁸. Specified for sinewave input with THD less than 1%.**Important:** The 792A-7004 A40 Current Shunt Adapter is not compatible with A40A Current Shunts. Use the 5790A-7001 A40/A40A Current Shunt Adapter and Cable for compatibility with both A40 and A40A Current Shunts.**Important:** Use of A40 or A40A Current Shunts for ac/dc current transfer measurements requires the 5790A-7001 A40/A40A Current Shunt Adapter and Cable (or 792A-7004 for A40 only). Current shunts are sold separately.**Important:** Absolute uncertainty specifications apply within ±5°C of calibration temperature. Add temperature coefficient to uncertainty when operating more than 5°C from calibration temperature.**Important:** Wideband flatness specifications: add to flatness specifications when more than 3°C from calibration temperature.Recommended pairing: traceability to national standards for the 5790A is supported through the Fluke 792A AC/DC Transfer Standard, which is also the recommended companion for the instrument's self-contained periodic performance verification procedure.
