Fluke 43B Series Power Quality Analyzer

 Fluke 43B Series
Powerful solutions for today’s needs

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.

The only analysis tool you need to easily track down all your power and related problems
The Fluke 43B is the engineer’s choice for diagnosing and troubleshooting power quality and general equipment failures throughout industry. The all-in-one tool comprises:

1. Power Quality Analyzer
  • Measures power (W, VA, VAR) and power factor (PF, DPF)
  • Calculates power and power factor on balanced 3-phase loads
  • Voltage, current and power harmonics up to the 51st.
  • Measures sags and swells on a cycle-by-cycle basis for up to 24 hours
  • Automatically captures up to 40 transients as fast as 40 ns
  • Measures motor inrush and analyzes using cursors
  • Covers broad frequency range (10 to 400 Hz)


2. Oscilloscope
  • Dual-channel scope
  • Up to 20 MHz bandwidth with FREE VPS40 Voltage Probe (Fluke 43B only)
  • “Connect and View” automatic triggering for an instant stable waveform display
  • On-screen cursors to help analyze signals


3. Multimeter
  • Measures resistance, continuity and capacitance, and tests diodes
  • Measures temperature with optional temperature probes (Fluke 61 IR Thermometer supplied for FREE with Fluke 43B only)


4. Recorder
  • Records up to 2 parameters for up to 16 days
  • All parameters measured can be recorded including V/A/Hz, all aspects of power and harmonics and all scope measurements
  • Stores up to 4000 voltage events with the VR101S (Fluke 43Kit)


Ease of use
  • Get immediate inside in your power system by simply clicking through the most commonly used power quality modes with just a simple keystroke
  • Just choose the application from the menu and it sets-up automatically
  • 20 memories for storage of screens and data


General
  • Calculates three-phase power on balanced loads from a single-phase measurement
  • Measures power harmonics, and captures voltage sags, transients, and inrush currents
  • Monitoring functions help track intermittent problems and power system performance
  • Menus use familiar electrical terminology
  • Toggle through the most commonly used power quality modes with a single keystroke
  • Records two selectable parameters for up to 16 days
  • 20 measurement memories to save/recall screens and data with cursor readings

Transients

  • Catch voltage transients and waveform distortion
  • Catch and save up to 40 transients
  • Correlate the cause of transient with time and date stamps
