South Africa’s cost of power is increasing at an alarming rate and users of power are being asked to save energy wherever possible to help prevent future power cuts. Industry and facilities alike are looking for ways to conserve energy in order to reduce ever-escalating energy bills.
Fluke, represented in southern Africa by the Comtest Group, provides a solution that not only offers power quality analysis, but also has the ability to clearly quantify energy losses in Rand and Cent terms. The newly launched Fluke 430 Series II replaces the current Fluke 430 series, and its energy analysis capabilities give electricians the ability to determine how much power is being wasted and calculate exactly what the extra consumption costs are.
The new Fluke 434, 435 and 437 Series II models help locate, predict, prevent and trouble-shoot power quality problems in three-phase and single-phase power distribution systems. Additionally, the Fluke-patented energy loss algorithm, Unified Power Measurement, measures and quantifies energy losses due to poor power quality such as harmonics and unbalance issues, allowing users to pinpoint the origin of energy wastage within a system.
The 434 energy analyser is specifically designed for facilities engineers, building managers (energy costs), residential and commercial electricians and basic power quality users, and delivers power and energy analysis using patented algorithms. An energy loss calculator monetises the cost of poor power quality.
The 435 power quality and energy analyser has application in waveform capture and power inverter efficiency. It measures efficiency of inverters in solar, wind and UPS applications for industrial electricians, utilities technicians and advanced power quality users.
The top-of-the-range 437 power quality and energy analyser targets the military defence, avionics and other transport-focused industrial electricians and technicians for the capture of power quality measurements for avionic and military power systems with 400 Hz frequency needs.
