8845A and 8846A Fluke Corporation 7
AC Current
The following ac current specifications are for sinusoidal signals with amplitudes greater than 5 % of range. For inputs from 1% to 5 % of
range, add an additional error of 0.1 % of range.
Input Protection............................................................Tool accessible 11 A/1000 V and 440 mA/1000 V fuses.
Measurement Method..................................................ac-coupled true-rms, dc-coupled to the fuse and shunt (no blocking capacitor)
AC Filter Bandwidth
Slow.............................................................................3 Hz to 10 kHz
Medium .......................................................................20 Hz to 10 kHz
Fast..............................................................................200 Hz to 10 kHz
Maximum Crest Factor ................................................5:1 at full scale
Additional Crest Factor Errors (<100 Hz) ..............Crest Factor 1-2, 0.05 % of full scale
Crest Factor 2-3, 0.2 % of full scale
Crest Factor 3-4, 0.4 % of full scale
Crest Factor 4-5, 0.5 % of full scale
