Magtrol Model 5300 Three Phase Power Analyzer
Chapter 9 - Calibration
Since the current calibrator output is usually a low
impedance with low compliance voltage, the 5300's
current measuring shunts are the circuit's major
resistance. Let's take a representative example and
compute the resulting phase shift:
Let L = 10 µhenries (total of shunt, wiring, etc.)
Let R
SHUNT
= 0.011 Ohm; R
WIRING
= 0.01 Ohm
R = 0.011 + 0.01 = 0.021 Ohms
Let F = 60 Hz ∴ 2 π FL ≈ 0.004
θ Arctan (2 π FL /R) = Arctan (0.004 /0.021)
θ ≈ 11 degrees, or about 1.8 % measurement error. This
error can be eliminated by adjusting the calibrator's
variable phase shift control. This demonstrates the need
for care in making power analyzer calibration
measurements.
CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
Refer to Figure 16 for the recommended test setup. If
other test equipment is used, appropriately modify the
test steps for your equipment. Each of the 3-phases
(φ1, φ2, φ3) are identical and are individually tested.
The same procedure is used for each of the 3-phases.
Potentially lethal voltages are used in
the following test steps. Take
appropriate precautions to avoid
electrical shock. Refer to your calibrator
operator manual for operating
instructions. Because these calibrators
generate lethal voltages, extreme care is
necessary.
The three steps of the calibration verification are as
follows:
1. Volts Calibration Check
2. Amperes Calibration Check
3. Watts Calibration
Set both the VOLTS and AMPERES calibrators to
standby mode.
VOLTS CALIBRATION CHECK

DC:
1. On the 5300 PA, press the 150 volts range push-
button.
2. Set the volts calibrator for zero volts DC and operate
mode.
3. The 5300 VOLTS display should read zero +
0.0001% max of volts full scale range.
4. Set volts calibrator for + 150 volts DC.
5. The 5300 VOLTS display should read 150.0 volts.
Record the VOLTS readings.
6. Set the calibrator for - 150 volts DC and repeat the
above step. Record the VOLTS readings.
7. Repeat the above for the 300 and 600 volts ranges.
Lethal voltages are present. Take
appropriate safety precautions.
8. Compare the above readings to the values given in
Section 2, Specifications.
The (+) and (-) readings should be within ± 2 least
significant digit (LSD) of each other.
AC:
1. Set the volts calibrator for 60 Hz and repeat the
volts checks as outlined in the DC test above.
NOTE: If a beat frequency effect is
experienced between the
calibrator output and the 60 Hz
power line frequency, try setting
the calibrator for 80 Hz instead of
60 Hz.
2. Set the volts calibrator to standby mode.
