The Fluke 5522A is a high-performance Multi-Product Calibrator designed to address a wide workload of electrical and electronic calibration. Although the product is sometimes miscategorized as a VNA calibration kit in standard catalogs, the Fluke 5522A is a primary laboratory electrical calibrator. It calibrates digital multimeters (up to 6.5 digits), oscilloscopes (up to 600 MHz or 1.1 GHz with optional modules), power meters, power quality analyzers, thermometers, and various other measurement instruments. It features robust reverse-power protection (V-Guard) to safeguard against accidental operator voltage inputs, ensuring long-term reliability.
