Pinpoint power quality problems faster, safer and in greater detail

These three-phase power quality meters help you locate, predict, prevent and troubleshoot problems in power distribution systems. These easy-to-use power quality tools are a “must have for any person who maintains or troubleshoots three phase power. The new IEC Class A standards for flicker and power quality are built right in to take the guess work out of power monitoring.

Applications

• Frontline troubleshooting – quickly diagnose problems on-screen to get your operation back online
• Predictive maintenance – detect and prevent power quality issues before they cause downtime
• Quality of service compliance – validate incoming power quality at the service entrance
• Long-term analysis – uncover hard-to-find or intermittent issues
• Load studies – verify electrical system capacity before adding loads
• Energy assessments – quantify energy consumption before and after improvements to justify energy saving devices

CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V safety rating

Designed to help protect you and your equipment, the Fluke 430 Series analyzers and accessories are all certified to meet the stringent standards for use in CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V environments. They are the first tools of their kind to carry the CAT IV rating for use in power connections and outlets throughout a low-voltage power distribution system.

Troubleshoot real-time

AutoTrend feature provides fast insight into changes over time. Every displayed reading is automatically recorded without having to set thresholds or intervals. Analyze the trends using the cursors and zoom tools—even while background recording continues.

Measures everything

Measure true-rms and peak voltage and current, frequency, dips and swells, transients, interruptions, power and power consumption, peak demand, harmonics up to the 50th, interharmonics, flicker, mains signaling, inrush and unbalance.

Logger: record the detail you need

User-configurable, long-term recording of MIN, MAX and AVG readings for up to 100 parameters on all 4 phases. Enough memory is available to record 400 parameters for up to a month with 10 minute resolution, or capture smaller variations with resolution down to 0.5 seconds.

Automatic transient display

Every time an event or voltage distortion is detected, the instrument triggers and automatically stores voltage and current waveforms on all three phases and neutral. The analyzer will also trigger when a certain current level is exceeded. Up to 40 dips, swells, interruptions and transients can be captured this way. You can see voltage transients as high as 6 kV and as fast as 5 microseconds.

System-Monitor: Summary screen of overall power quality health

A single push of the MONITOR button delivers a dashboard display of rms voltage, harmonics, flicker, interruptions, rapid voltage changes, swells, unbalance, frequency and mains signaling. The dashboard is updated live, showing compliance of each parameter to EN50160 limits or your own limits. Color-coded bars clearly show which parameters are inside (pass) or outside limits (fail). During a monitor session, you can easily drill down to more detail of any parameter to view and capture its trend for a report.

Extensive data analysis possibilities

The Fluke 430 Series provides three ways to analyze measurements. Cursors and zoom tools can be used ‘live’ while taking measurements, or ‘off line’ on stored measurement data. Additionally, the stored measurements can be transferred to a PC with the included software to perform custom analysis and create reports. Measurement data can also be exported to common spreadsheet programs. Store up to 10 measurement datasets and up to 50 screen captures for use in reports.

Easy-to-use

Pre-programmed setups and user-friendly screens make power quality testing as simple as you would expect from Fluke. The high-resolution color screen updates every 200 mS and displays waveforms and wiring diagrams color coded to industry standards. Handy on-screen wiring diagrams for all commonly used threephase and single-phase configurations guide you through connections.
