Fluke 43B Single Phase Power Quality Analyzer

Description

Circuit breakers that trip, transformers that overheat, motors that burn out, machines that don't function properly; whatever the problem, you can quickly and easily identify the cause with the Fluke 43B Power Quality Analyzer.

As a Power Quality Analyzer it is optimized for industrial measurements on the 50 Hz fundamental frequency. Because its frequency range extends from 10 to 400 Hz, it's also ideal for aviation, marine and railway applications.

Besides the unique extended frequency range, the Fluke 43B is the only instrument that combines the capabilities of a Power Quality Analyzer, a 20 MHz oscilloscope, a multimeter and data recorder in a single tool.

 

Features

  • NiMH Battery provides extended operating time of 6.5 hours
  • Combines the most useful capabilities of a power quality analyzer, multimeter and scope
  • Calculates 3-phase power on balanced loads, from a single-phase measurement
  • Trends voltage, current, frequency, power harmonics and captures voltage sags, transients and inrush current
  • Monitoring functions help track intermittent problems and power system performance
  • Records two selectable parameters for up to 16 days
  • 20 measurement memories to save/recall screens and data with cursor readings
  • FlukeView® software can log harmonics and all other readings over time and provides a complete harmonics profile up to the 51st harmonic
  • Measures resistance, diode voltage drop, continuity, and capacitance
  • Users/applications manual and power quality video to help answer tough questions
  • Complete package with voltage probes and 400 A current clamp, FlukeView Software and optically isolated interface cable
