Power quality meter sees through
distortion
Power quality clamp meter accurately measures AC/DC voltage, current and power, even with distorted waveforms.
Fluke has introduced the world's most advanced power quality clamp meter, ideal for technicians and engineers installing and commissioning variable frequency drives, UPS systems, lighting and other switching loads which can be difficult to measure and monitor The Fluke 345, with a Cat IV 600V safety rating, accurately measures AC/DC voltage, current and power, even with distorted waveforms

CAT IV safety rating on new digital multimeters
Fluke has introduced the 170 Series Digital Multimeters with lifetime warranties and the latest category IV safety ratings, designed for use up to 1000V and 10A AC or DC
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.
It verifies batteries, troubleshoots harmonics up to the 30th, investigates nuisance tripping due to inrush currents with a special Inrush mode, and measures peak currents up to 2000A without the need to break the circuit.
It features a large, colour display with a user interface which offers enhanced ease-of-use.
Data can be displayed numerically, graphically or as a bar chart.
The tool offers long-term logging to identify the most intermittent faults, with the capability of fast downloading to a PC via a USB port.
Easy-to-use Fluke power log software included within the set of accessories provides powerful analysis of graphs and generation of reports.
The Fluke 345 is particularly useful for measuring distorted AC and DC currents when commissioning variable speed drives, for quantifying energy consumption before and after installation of energy saving devices, for uncovering harmonic issues which can damage or disrupt critical equipment, and for monitoring inrush currents which may cause circuit breaker tripping during motor start up.
As well as the Power Log software, the Fluke 345 includes voltage leads, clips and probes, a USB interface cable and a soft carrying case. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
