Fluke 430 Series Three-Phase Power Quality Analyzers
Overview Features Specifications Models and Accessories Knowledge and Information
Overview
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

 

  • Troubleshoot real-time: Analyze the trends using the cursors and zoom tools—even while background recording continues
  • Highest safety rating in the industry: 600 V Cat IV/1000 V CAT III rated for use at the service entrance
  • Automatic transient mode: Captures 200 kHz waveform data on all phases simultaneously: Up to 6 kV
  • Fully Class A compliant: Conduct tests according to the stringent international IEC 61000-4-30 Class A standard
  • Measure all three phases and neutral: With included four current probes
  • AutoTrend: Every measurement you see is always automatically recorded, without any setup
  • System-monitor: Up to seven power quality parameters on one screen according to EN50160 power quality standard
  • Inrush mode: For troubleshooting nuisance circuit breaker tripping
  • View graphs and generate reports: With included analysis software
  • Logger function: Configure for any test condition with memory for over 400 parameters at user defined intervals
  • Mains signaling: Measure interference from ripple control signals at specific frequencies
  • Battery Life: Seven hours operating time per charge on NiMH battery pack
  • Warranty: Rugged, handheld troubleshooter with Fluke three-year warranty
