High-performance power quality recorder

March 2014 Electrical Power & Protection

The Comtest Group has introduced the Fluke 1750 three-phase power recorder for monitoring of power quality and power quality disturbances. These power meters continuously and automatically record every power quality parameter and event on every cycle for applications as diverse as long-term analysis, power quality surveys, quality of service compliance and equipment installation or commissioning.

The 1750 allows quick and reliable configuration via the ARCHOS 43 Internet Tablet, which provides a window into what the instrument is recording, even in awkward test locations. It provides power quality measurements that comply with IEC61000-4-30 standards for correct evaluation of all measured values, including voltage, current, power and harmonics. It captures every measurement on every channel, with cross-channel and current triggering capture as well as voltage and current on three phases, neutral and ground.

The user may apply thresholds after the data is collected with Fluke Power Analyse Software, so there is no possibility of missed information due to incorrect setups. The intuitive PC software allows for easy analysing of data and the generation of reports with automated EN50160 reporting and compliance. The Auto Report feature creates either standard or customised reports. With the Plug and Play feature set-up is easy, with self-identifying current probes and single-lead connections.

The 1750 also features 5 MHz, 8000 Vpk waveform capture, giving the user a detailed picture of even the shortest of events, while the SD memory card or 100BaseT high-speed Ethernet connection enables quick and reliable retrieval of the data.
