  • 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
