Introduction
The Fluke Calibration 6135A/PMUCAL Phasor Measurement Unit Calibration System
(the Product or Calibration System) is a measurement and calibration device used to
calibrate and test a PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit).
Features of the Calibration System:
• Simulate static and dynamic conditions that a UUT can experience in a power grid.
• Test a UUT against the performance standards written in IEEE C37.118.1a- 2014
(Synchrophasor Measurements for Power Systems) and IEEE C37.118.2
(Synchrophasor Data Transfer for Power Systems) and IEC 60255-118-1:2018
(Synchrophasor for Power Systems - Measurements.
• Quickly set up and configure a UUT for calibration with a single, side mounted input
panel.
• Remotely calibrate and test a UUT from a desktop PC using the PMU Calibration
Software.
• Manually run single tests or use the factory built-in automated test procedures.
• Produce formal calibration reports in a format that can be easily printed or shared
electronically.
The Calibration System is made up of six individual devices that are interconnected
inside a server rack (see Figure 1-1). See the “Components of the Calibration System” for
more information about each individual device.
The Fluke 6105A and two 6106A together comprise a 6135A. The Fluke 6135A is a
source of precision three phase voltage and current signals. These precise signals must be
related to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to be useful for calibration of PMU UUTs.
The 6135A/PMU System Timing Unit uses accurate time from the GPS receiver to align
the 6135A output frequency and phase angles to meet the requirements of the PMU
calibration standard: IEEE C37.118.1a- 2014.
A Client software application package on a laptop or desktop computer (not shown) lets
the operator communicate with the Server PC via a WAN (wide area network)
connection. The Server PC controls the equipment as required by calibration procedures
located on the Client computer.
For an alphabetical list of terms and abbreviations used in this chapter and manual, see
“The Glossary” in Appendix A of this manual.

Performance Verification and Repair Information
Annual performance verification and adjustment is recommended to verify performance
to the Calibration System specifications. Fluke Calibration is the only Service Center that
can fully adjust and repair the Calibration System. If shipping the complete system is
difficult, it might be more convenient to send just the 6135A Three Phase Power
Standard to Fluke for calibration and verify the rest of the system with a few simple time
measurements using an oscilloscope as instructed in Chapter 9. To schedule and send the
Calibration System or just the 6135A Three Phase Power Standard to Fluke for
calibration or repair:
1. Contact a Fluke Calibration Service Center and schedule the Calibration or repair.
2. Pack and secure the Calibration System in the shipping crate that Calibration System
came in.
3. Send the Calibration System to one of the Service Centers in Table 1-3.

Server PC
The Server PC (shown in Figure 1-5) is a server computer that receives commands from
the Client PC and controls the Calibration System. The default settings made by Fluke at
the time of shipping are:
• PC name: PMUCal
• ID Address: 192.168.0.250
Network administrators can set up IP addresses to configure the Server PC to work on the
network if necessary, but take note of the cautions listed below. To work on the Server
PC, plug in a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard into the Input Panel.
WCaution
To prevent damage to the Calibration System:
• Only use the Server PC for Calibration System operation.
• Anti-virus programs can disrupt or block Server/Client
communications. Installation of these programs on the
Server PC should be avoided if possible.
• Do not enable Windows automatic updates. The automatic
updates feature can force a PC reboot at any time which
could occur while the system is in operation. Periodically
check for updates and perform a manual update.
• The Server PC should use a fixed IP address (static) and not
use auto-allocation (dynamic).
• Do not change the configuration of the Server PC.
When more than one Calibration System is connected to the same network, the IP
addresses and Server PC names of at least one system must be changed so that each
system has unique identification.
The Server PC connections are available at the Input/Output Panel on the side of the
cabinet. See Table 1-5 .

6135A Three Phase Power Standard
The 6135A Three Phase System (the 6135A System) shown in Figure 1-4 supplies the
Calibration System with three individual sources of ac voltage and current to the UUT.
The 6135A System contains one 6105A Electrical Power Standard (L1) and two 6106A
Electrical Power Standards (L2 and L3). The complete 6135A System is connected to and
controlled by the 6135A/PMU System Timing Unit (the Timing Unit) and the Server PC
(see Figure 1-3).
When the Calibration System is turned on, the Server PC automatically puts the 6135A
System in remote mode. In remote mode, you cannot use the front-panel controls on the
6105A Master unit. It is possible to disconnect the 6135A System from the Calibration
System to use it for applications other than UUT calibration.
The 6135A units are ordered by phase (see Figure 1-4). Connect the UUT to the
Calibration System Input/Output Panel in this sequence to a prevent phase mismatch:
1. Phase A to L1
2. Phase B to L2
3. Phase C to L3

WCaution
To prevent damage to the system or the UUT, do not manually
adjust the controls on the front panel of the 6105A.
The UUT is directly connected to the outputs on the Input/Output Panel as shown in
Table 1-6. For instructions on how to connect a UUT to the 6135A System, see “Connect
the Calibration System to a UUT” in Chapter 4. The Fluke 6135A/PMU Calibration
System can support Fluke 6105A/6106As with 50 A or 80 A options or up to three Fluke
52120A Transconductance Amplifiers per channel. The higher current outputs are taken
directly from the units outputs. The Calibration Software automatically selects which
output to use based on the nominal current selected for the UUT and the operator is
informed what to use. See “Set up a UUT Personality Profile” in Chapter 4.

Microsemi GPS Receiver
The Microsemi SyncServer S650 (the GPS Receiver) shown in Table 1-7 supplies the
Product and the UUT with a UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time source. The UUT
uses the time source to timestamp each report the UUT makes.
Note
A GPS antenna must be installed in order to use the GPS Receiver. For
installation instructions, see “Install the Calibration System” in Chapter 2.
The GPS Receiver is connected directly to the Timing Unit. The Timing Unit is
connected between the GPS receiver and the UUT. This lets the Timing Unit control the
GPS signal to the UUT. The GPS time information is transmitted directly to the
Calibrator through an IRIG-B connection on the rear panel. The Timing Unit and the
GPS Receiver are kept in synchronization by a 10 MHz clock signal from the GPS
Receiver.
When you turn-on the Calibration System, the GPS Receiver is configured to
automatically lock onto satellites with a “good” signal indication. The Status Indicator
LED and display text on the front of the GPS Receiver shows the communication status
of GPS Receiver. See Table 1-7 for more information on the Status Indicator LED.

Note
The Microsemi SyncServer S650 GPS Receiver has an IP address set to
192.92.92.2. This allows temporary access to the GPS Receiver Web
Interface by connecting a Ethernet cable between the GPS Receiver rear
panel Port 1 to the Ethernet port on the System side panel used by the UUT
PMU. Access Username is admin and the Password is Microsemi. Do not
change the Username or Password from these default settings. For further
information on the GPS Receiver Web Interface, refer to the GPS Receiver
Operator manual. Any changes to the GPS Receiver configuration might
result in the instrument no longer working correctly in the System.
6135A/PMU System Timing Unit
The 6135A/PMU System Timing Unit (the Timing Unit) is the timing and modulation
control device in the Calibration System. This device is connected to the Server PC, the
6135A System, the GPS Receiver, and the UUT (see Figure 1-3).
When you run a test, the PMUCal Software sends test parameters to the Server PC. The
Server PC then transmits test parameters to the Timing Unit. The Timing Unit uses the
UTC time signal from the GPS Receiver to precisely control the 6135A System output
frequency, voltage, and current to the UUT.
The UUT is directly connected to the outputs on the Input/Output Panel as shown in
Table 1-8.
