Application Notes and Case Studies


It doesn't take out the garbage...yet

You asked and Fluke answered. For several years, tool users have told Fluke they needed a three-phase Power Quality Analyzer to audit and troubleshoot critical power applications. Find out more about the features and measurements and how well the 430 works at troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
Preventative maintenance contracts are on the rise. Can you handle all of your electrical measurement needs? Learn more about using the right tools and how to build your business with the Fluke 430 Series Power Quality Analyzers.

Low power factor

Read about a consultant who performed a site planning assessment survey for a proposed new server room. Measurements were taken and analyzed. Find out the how's and why's and what the conclusion was.

Three phase motor failure

Tired of multiple three-phase motor failures with no resolution, One facility manager works with an independent consultant on how to solve the problem. Walk through the steps of his complete power quality survey of the electrical distribution system feeding the motor. Find out how he solved the problem.

Factors such as transformer loading, harmonic spectrum, total harmonic distortion, the K-factor and ground currents commonly cause overheating and transformer failures. Discover solutions to these problems.

These specific instructions focus on four predictive maintenance measurements and two power consumption measurements that can help you uncover costs, protect equipment from damaging conditions, reduce unscheduled downtime and improve system performance.

Three-phase analyzers already measure power factor and trend power quality. Now they offer user-settable ratios for displaying readings as if you were measuring at the primary side of PTs and CTs. Find out how multi-purpose analyzers allow utility techs to offer more customer service in less time and quickly audit meters.

Take the guesswork out of selecting a power quality instrument. Find out what the measurement methods are and read some examples of the Class A requirements.

Article 220 of the 2005 NEC offers two measurement methods for determining existing loads and the maximum demand the electrical system is likely to handle. This article describes the 30-day recording method known as a load study.

Hospital Tech develops his power quality knowledge

Stan Benoit, a CRES Radiology/Oncology Maintenance Supervisor for Geisinger Health System, is a 23-year veteran of medical electronics, but he was not an expert on power quality. Last year he acquired a Fluke 434 Power Quality Analyzer and started learning more.

The Fluke 345 combines a clamp meter, power quality meter, oscilloscope and a data logger in one. Get the basics on waveform views, harmonics, power measurements, inrush current and logging.

Reliable backup power: UPS testing

With the inconsistencies of user installations or public distribution systems, the possibility of faults occurring remains undeniable and unpredictable. The help your contingency supply systems, read through these step-by-step tests for pre-installation, combined and maintenance tests.

The power of a waveform: Expanded troubleshooting options with the Fluke 435 Power Quality Analyzer

Paul Swanson, a lead electrician at the Regional Justice Center for King County in Washington, gets to beta test the Fluke 345. Find out who the clamp meter was built for, how it works and why it works better than a digital multimeter.
