Rugged temperature calibrator ideal for the field
Designed for process instrument technicians, the Fluke 724 Temperature Calibrator can test and calibrate almost any temperature instrument.
The Multipoint Power Recorder can be used in substations and switchgear, and for monitoring incoming and internal power at data centres, factories and commercial buildings.
Optional software includes reporting facilities and powerful predictive maintenance software which helps ward off potential disasters before they happen.
Available in the UK through the power quality specialist distributor, Rhopoint Systems, the Fluke RPM Multipoint Power Recorder employs full disclosure technology.
This uses patented sampling hardware and algorithms to record everything experienced by the user's loads.
The sampling system processes every cycle on all channels simultaneously, recording min/max values and sags, swells and waveform faults.
Multipoint features four voltage channels to monitor single-phase, three-phase wye and three phase delta systems.
It has five full-time current channels to monitor currents on all phases, plus neutral and ground currents simultaneously.
The Multipoint records power parameters, RMS voltage and current, harmonics and flicker.
All this is carried out on all channels simultaneously.
There is no need to reconfigure or to set thresholds.
As well as volts and amps it measures frequency, watts, VA, VAR, power factor, demand and harmonics, using 128 samples per cycle, on every cycle.
The acquisition part of the system detaches easily, enabling users to install Multipoint base plates at fixed sites.
Optional software packages offer reporting and predictive capabilities.
Power analysis software monitors, downloads and analyses data, and presents events and summaries.
It also offers an alarming and polling option.
Scenario software includes facilities for comparing trends from multiple databases and calculates a power quality index enabling the user to trend system performance over time to see whether it is improving or degrading. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
