The Fluke Model 43B Power Quality Analyzer comes in three configurations to make it easier and more cost-effective to track down power-related problems in a wide range of industrial and related applications.
In addition to being a Power Quality Analyzer with an extended frequency range, the Fluke 43B is also a 20 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope, a full-function multimeter and a versatile data recorder in a single tool. It can diagnose and troubleshoot general power quality problems and equipment failures such as tripping circuit breakers, overheating transformers and burnt out motors. Its usable fundamental frequency range extends from 10 to 400 Hz.
It comes in three configurations:
* Fluke 43Basic: Entry-level into power quality analysis is provided by the new Fluke 43Basic, supplied with a 200 A a.c. current clamp.
* Fluke 43B: For more demanding applications, the 'standard' Fluke 43B is supplied with a 500 A a.c. current clamp, SW43W FlukeViewT software, a PM9080 serial interface adapter cable to connect the instrument to a PC and a C120 hard case. To extend the troubleshooting capabilities of the standard Fluke 43B even further it includes a Fluke VPS40 oscilloscope voltage probe and a Fluke 61 infrared thermometer.
* Fluke 43Kit: The third configuration is a kit for detecting power disturbances over a longer period of time, and includes the 500 A a.c. current clamp, FlukeView software and interface cable plus a Fluke VR101S Voltage Event Recorder System, a smart tool for storing up to 4000 events such as sags, swells, transients, outages and frequency variations. All three configurations include test leads, probes, clips, battery pack, banana-to-BNC adapter and line voltage adapter/battery charger.
