Fluke 430 three-phase power quality analysers series II

The 430 series II three-phase power quality analysers are said to be the first tools to use a patented algorithm to measure energy waste and quantify its cost.

The series helps facilities reduce electrical power consumption and improve the performance and lifespan of electromechanical equipment by providing the return on investment justification to mitigate power quality distortion.

Previously, only experts could calculate how much energy was being wasted due to power quality issues. Utilities could calculate the cost but the required measurement process was beyond the reach of average electricians.

With the unified power function of the series, electricians, utility technicians, electrical engineers, field service technicians and energy consultants can automatically determine how much power is being wasted and calculate the extra consumption costs with a single handheld tool.

In particular, the instrument lets facilities assess the impact of new energy-efficient, electronically driven systems from lighting to motor controls to HVAC.
