Voltage quality recorder

17 September 2008 Test & Measurement

Comtest has introduced a new plug-in, single-phase tool that helps pinpoint the root cause of voltage problems quickly and easily, the Fluke VR1710 Voltage Quality Recorder. Designed as an easy-to-use solution for detecting and recording power quality problems, the VR1710 is a single-phase plug-in voltage quality recorder that can help maintenance and facilities personnel in utilities, industrial environments and large service organisations maintain the power quality essential to business operations.

The VR1710 can help users pinpoint the root causes of voltage problems, by recording data specified by a user-selected average period on voltage trends, dropouts and power quality parameters, including RMS average, transients, flicker and harmonics up to the 32nd. It features continuous recording of all values with no gaps, making testing more efficient by enabling users to gather data on both voltage and events with a single instrument.

The recorder plugs directly into the mains power socket, and includes a USB connection and PowerLog software for quick instrument setup and data downloads. The software also includes graphical tools for data presentation that show RMS voltage and harmonic trends, actual transients, summary information and statistics in accordance with EN50160.
