fluke 3330B fault current output
« on: December 07, 2021, 02:33:45 pm »
Hello friends, I'm looking for help repairing my fluke 3330b.
his problem is in currents above 3ma. Whichever scale is selected, it always maintains 6ma of output.
Best regards

Is it working below 3 mA? Does it jump right to 6 mA as soon as you set the current above 3 mA?

I haven't studied the schematic, but sounds like it might be a bad transistor to me. Although I would also check all voltage rails for ripple (bad caps).

Be aware there are lethal voltages inside, so be very careful operating it with the covers off.

hello Alm,
I appreciate your availability.
It works below 3ma.
above the 3ma range it always maintains the 6ma output value.
best regards,

Hello,
does this error occur only in constant current mode, or also in constant voltage mode?

Hello Frank,
The problem only occurs in current.
When I select above 3ma.
the signal measured oscilloscope the input and output of the PCBs (A4A2 chopper amp., A4A3 differecial amp., and A4A4 series pass drive) occurs a 100hz oscillation.
