Fluke (UK) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Feb 6, 2008
The Fluke VR1710 can help users pinpoint the root causes of voltage problems by recording data specified by a user-selected average period on voltage trends, dropouts and power quality parameters.
The Fluke VR1710 voltage quality recorder is designed for single-phase power quality troubleshooting and preventative maintenance applications.
Designed as an easy to use solution for detecting and recording power quality problems, the VR1710 is a single-phase plug-in voltage quality recorder that can help maintenance and facilities personnel in utilities, industrial environments and large service organisations to maintain the power quality essential to business operations.
The Fluke VR1710 can help users pinpoint the root causes of voltage problems by recording data specified by a user-selected average period on voltage trends, dropouts and power quality parameters, including RMS average, transients, flicker and harmonics up to the 32nd.
It features continuous recording of all values with no gaps, making testing more efficient by enabling users to gather data on both voltage and events with a single instrument.
The recorder plugs directly into any single-phase mains power socket and includes a USB connection and Fluke PowerLog software for quick instrument setup using a PC and quick data downloads.
PowerLog software also includes graphical tools for data presentation that show RMS voltage and harmonic trends, actual transients, summary information and statistics in accordance with EN50160.
It measures RMS average, minimum and maximum values and checks whether the socket outlet is providing voltage within tolerance.
It checks whether distorting loads are affecting other equipment.
High levels of harmonic voltage may cause overheating in neutral conductors.
It quantifies the affects of switching loads on lighting systems and can capture intermittent, momentary events that may be affecting equipment.
The full waveform is captured with date, timestamp and duration.
