Overview

Introducing the Fluke 434/PWR Power Analyzer, the easy way to perform energy consumption studies and to identify and analyse key Power Quality problems

The Fluke 434/PWR is an upgraded version of the popular 434 model. It now includes the previously optional logging feature, Inrush and Transients measurement functions. In addition, it includes four iFlex 430, flexible current probes and a new soft case. The bundled PowerLog software enables logged files to be downloaded and reports generated automatically (the standard voltage leads and clips are included).

Applications

• Load studies – verify electrical system capacity before adding loads
  
• Energy assessments – quantify energy consumption before and after improvements to justify energy saving devices
  
• Frontline troubleshooting – quickly diagnose problems on‐screen to get your operation back online
  
• Quality of service compliance – validate incoming power quality at the service entrance
  
• Long‐term analysis – uncover hard‐to‐find or intermittent issues
  
• Analyze reliability problems by capturing voltage dips and swells from load switching

Features

• Captures events like dips and swells, interruptions and rapid voltage changes, based upon ½ cycle rms values
  
• Unique AutoTrend gives you fast insight into changes over time.
  
• With a single push of a button, the unique System Monitor gives you an overview of power system performance.
  
• Logger: detailed, user‐configurable long‐term recording gives you the MIN, MAX and AVG readings of up to 100 parameters on all inputs.
  
• Averaging time can be selected down to 0.5 seconds (or 1 minute for 1 day’s recording, 10 minutes for 1 week, 30 minutes for 1 month or more.
  
• Inrush mode: For troubleshooting nuisance circuit breaker tripping
  
• Automatic transient mode: Captures 200 kHz waveform data on all phases simultaneously: Up to 6 kV
  
• Two groups of four channels: simultaneously measure voltage and current on all three phases and neutral.
  
• Auto Scaling: easier trend analysis with automatic scaling of the vertical axis – so you will always view the waveforms on a full display.
  
• Meets the stringent 600 V CAT IV, 1000 V CAT III safety standard required for measurements at service entrance. Extensive data analysis: cursors and zoom can be used ‘live’ while taking the measurements, or ‘offline’ on stored measurement data. The stored measurements can also be transferred to Power Log software.
