Maintenance

Performance Test

Verify the probe accuracy by measuring a 25 kV dc ±0.25% voltage source. When used with a compatible dc voltmeter, the probe should measure the source with ±1% accuracy. No calibration adjustments are provided.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth dampened in distilled water to clean the 80K-40. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Make sure the 80K-40 is dry before reuse.

LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries or to any product which, in Fluke’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non- defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.

Fluke’s warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke’s option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

80K-40 High Voltage Probe

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The Model 80K-40 is a high voltage accessory probe designed to extend the voltage measuring capability of an ac/dc voltmeter up to 40,000 volts Overvoltage Category I. This means the probe can only be used to make measurements on energy limited circuits within equipment. Examples include high voltage within televisions or photo copy machines. DO NOT use this probe to measure high voltages on power distribution systems. The probe is a precision 1000:1 voltage divider formed by two matched resistors. The unusually high input impedance offered by these resistors minimizes circuit loading and thereby, optimizes measurement accuracy. A special plastic body houses the divider and provides the user with isolation and protection from the voltage being measured.

Specifications

The 80K-40 will achieve rated accuracy when used with a voltmeter (ac or dc) having an input impedance of 10 MΩ ±1.0%.* Specifications for the probe are as follows:

†Voltage Range: 1 kV to 40 kV dc or peak ac, 28 kV rms ac

Input Resistance: 1000 MΩ

Division Ratio: 1000: 1 (1000X attenuator)

Accuracy DC:

20kV to 35 kV: ±1% at 20°C to 30°C; add 1% at 10°C

<20°C and >30°C to 45°C. (For total measurement accuracy add accuracy specification of voltmeter being used.)

0 kV to <20 kV and >35 kV to 40 kV: ±2%. Accuracy AC: 60 Hz, ±5%.

Safety: Meets IEC 1010-2-031:1993, Type B, 40 kV dc or, peak ac, 28 kV rms ac, Overvoltage Category I (voltages derived from limited energy transformer).

*The input impedance of Autoranging Fluke handheld digital

multimeters varies as a function of range. The only range that deviates significantly from 10 MΩ is the 3V (Models 21, 23, 25,

27, 70, 73, 75, 77) or 4V (Models 10, 11, 12, 29, 79, 83, 85, 86, 87, 88) range where the impedance is 11.11 MΩ. To enhance the measurement accuracy when using this range, apply a correction factor of 0.99, i.e. multiply the displayed reading by .99.

†This probe is intended for low energy applications such as CRT and similar circuits. Above 2000 meters altitude, and up to 5000 meters, derate linearly the working voltage from 40 kV peak to 28 kV peak, and derate linearly the transient overvoltage from 80 kV peak to 57 kV peak. Transient overvoltage refers to micro-second duration impulses caused by lightning or load switching. See International Electrotechnical Commission Publication 664-1980, Clause 3.9 Table II, and Appendix A.

Measurement Considerations

Before attempting to use the 80K-40, the following paragraphs should be read and understood. Particular attention should be given to Operator Safety.
