Hello,

I have Fluke 5102B calibrator,which is working fine with its D.C ranges but it does not works with its A.C. ranges.The o/p is exactly 2.14 times higher than the programmed value.Readings are as follows:

Programmed values at 1kHz           o/p @fluke 8060A DMM

100mV                                              0.2128V,967.7Hz

1V                                                     2.135  V,967.7Hz

10V                                                   21.40  V,967.6Hz

100V                                                 213.9  V,967.7Hz

400V                                                 867.2  V,967.5Hz

100microAmps                                  0.2136microAmp,967.7Hz

1mA                                                   2.133mA

10mA                                                 21.36mA

100mA                                               213.1mA

500mA                                              1070.0mA

It's Ohm ranges are showing stable & correct for 10,100,1k,10k Ohms,but for 100k,1M,10M does not stable.It varies around its expected values.

For 100kOhms o/p varies between 99.79 to 100.22kOhms same for 1M &10M

Manufacturing date of the calibrator is around 1987.

Can you guide me which component exactly I have to replace.

Thanks with regards

Hi Jim,

I am trying to calculate a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for a system using MIL HDBK 217F, unfortunately I still have a few components left which I can't seem to find the MTBF for, nor do I know how I should categorise them to use the MIL HDBK to get an MTBF for them.  The components I am struggling with are:

1. Octal Buffer, Line Driver.

2. Amp Isolation

3. Buffer / Line Driver

4. Temp Sensor

5. Power Distribution Switch

6. CPCI Bus Hot Swap Controller

I have included links for the components below.  If you could tell me what section these fall under in the MIL HDBK or anything else that would help me predict the MTBF you would be doing me a huge favour.

Thank for your time,

Jim,

Can you tell me how to capture the milliseconds time to trip RCD Circuit Breakers? I believe you would need a trigger point to start the timer and store the time value once the shunt trip has opened the CB. Can this be done without a Power Oscilliscope?

I have a Fluke 9100 Calibrator but it is limited for RCD tests.
