Power quality (PQ) measurements can be complex to set up and frustrating when critical events are missed. Comtest, Fluke’s local channel partner, has introduced the new Fluke 1770 series that captures more than 500 power quality parameters by default so critical power quality events are never missed – fast transients up to 8 kV, harmonics up to 30 kHz, dips and swells, as well as the voltage, current and power measurements that enable technicians to characterise electrical systems.
Automatic measurement of power and power quality parameters capture critical power quality data as soon as a session is started, without extensive setup or selections. A streamlined user interface makes it easy to navigate between measurement parameters like V/A/Hz, power, dips and swells, harmonics, unbalance, or PQ health at the push of a button.
Voltage transients negatively impact otherwise healthy systems every day and their potential to damage equipment can’t be underestimated. Fluke 1775 and 1777 capture high-speed transients faster than ever before by leveraging the power of the latest Intel Cyclone FPGA. With a sample rate of 20 MSps, users can effectively capture, troubleshoot and mitigate the most damaging power quality issues.
1770 series power quality analysers come standard with powerful Fluke Energy Analyse Plus software, designed to analyse power quality data right out of the box without extensive training. It enables technicians to quickly compare results to historical values, benchmark against industry norms, compare measured data to local conditions and create a more complete picture of what’s occurring across a facility – even while the data is still being collected. Technicians can create customised reports or leverage built-in one-click reporting to industry standards like EN 50160, IEEE 519 and GOST 33073.
