Fluke 435-II Three Phase Power Quality Analyzer Kit

Fluke 435-II Series II Power Quality Analyzer

The Fluke 435-II is a Class A compliant three-phase power quality analyzer that help you locate, predict, prevent and troubleshoot problems in single phase and three phase power distribution systems. In addition to all the standard features of the Fluke 434-II, the Fluke 435-II offers additional features for the more demanding application.

The new 435-II offers most of the same measurement capabilities of the first generation of product:

• Volts, Amps, Hz
• Dips & Swells
• Harmonics
• Power & Energy
• Unbalance
• Monitor Mode
• Inrush
• Transients
• Flicker
• Mains Signalling
• Event Capture

In addition, the new Fluke 435 Series-II also adds several great new features and capabilities.

New Flexible Wide Range Current Probes - the introduction of the new i430-TF ultra-thin flexible current probe offers 6000A range

Power Inverter Efficiency - measure the efficiency of conversion from DC to AC for renewable energy systems

Energy Loss Calculator - measure and put an estimated cost associated with the power loss that comes from phase unbalance and harmonics

PowerWave - measure and record voltage, current and frequency at high speed to monitor power quality problems associated with load switching

8MB -> 8GB of Memory - a removable SD memory card offers 10x the memory and is upgradeable to 32GB

Features:

• Power inverter efficiency: Simultaneously measure AC output power and DC input power for power electronics systems using optional DC clamp.

• Measure all three phases and neutral: With included four flexible current probes with enhanced thin flex design to fit into the tightest places.
• Automatic Trending: Every measurement is always automatically recorded, without any set-up.
• System-Monitor: Ten power quality parameters on one screen according to EN50160 power quality standard.
• Logger function: Configure for any test condition with memory for up to 600 parameters at user defined intervals.
• View graphs and generate reports: With included analysis software.
• Battery life: Seven hours operating time per charge on Li-ion battery pack.

PowerWave data capture
For some users, loads switching is a cause of power quality problems. When loads switch on, the current draw sometimes causes the voltage to drop to a level that causes other equipment to malfunction. The PowerWave function available in the 435 and 437 Series II models enables users to capture voltage, current and frequency signals simultaneously at a high speed to see which interaction is potentially causing problems. PowerWave goes beyond standard power quality measurements; PowerWave’s fast data capture mode enables system dynamics to be characterized.

Waveforms for voltage and current are continuously captured for the specified time, and are displayed on screen in high detail; the power waveform is derived from the data. In addition, half-cycle RMS values for voltage, current, power and frequency can be stored and retrieved for analysis. This feature is particularly useful for testing of standby generation systems and UPS systems where reliable switch-on can be vital.

Power inverter efficiency
Power inverters take DC current and transform it into AC current, or vice versa. Solar generation systems usually include an inverter that takes the DC energy from the solar cells and converts it to useful AC power. Inverters can lose performance over time and need to be checked. By comparing the input power with the output power you can determine the system efficiency. The 430 series II can measure the efficiency of such inverters by simultaneously measuring the DC and AC power of a system to determine how much power is lost in the conversion process.

 

Unified Power Measurement
Fluke’s patented Unified Power Measurement system (UPM) provides the most comprehensive view of power available, measure:

• Parameters of Classical Power (Steinmetz 1897) and IEEE 1459-2000 Power
• Detailed Loss Analysis
• Unbalance Analysis

These UPM calculations are used to quantify the fiscal cost of energy loss caused by power quality issues. The calculations are computed, along with other facility-specific information, by an Energy Loss Calculator that ultimately determines how much money a facility loses due to wasted energy.

 

AutoTrend - Quickly see the trend
Unique AutoTrend gives you fast insight into changes over time. Every displayed reading is automatically and continuously recorded without having to set up threshold levels or having to manually start the process. You can quickly view trends in voltage, current, frequency, power, harmonics or flicker on all three phases plus neutral.

SystemMonitor - Check performance against EN50160 with ease
With a single push of a button, the unique System-Monitor gives you an overview of power system performance, and checks the compliance of incoming power to EN50160 limits or to your own custom specifications. The overview is shown on a single screen, with color-coded bars clearly indicating which parameters fall outside the limits.

The System-Monitor overview screen gives instant insight into whether the voltage, harmonics, flicker, frequency and the number of dips and swells fall outside the set limits. A detailed list is given of all events falling outside the set limits.

Logging function allows you to customize measurement selections and provides instantaneous analysis of user-selectable parameters.

Measure and record power (W), VA and VARs, PF and energy consumption.

Track harmonics up to the 50th, and measure and record THD in accordance with IEC61000-4-7 requirements
