Power Quality and

Energy Analyzers

Fluke 430 Series II Models

434 Series II Energy Analyzer

The Fluke 434 Series II Energy Analyzer is the ideal

tool for energy logging. Utilizing the new Energy

Loss Calculator function, the 434 II measures the

fiscal cost of energy wasted due to poor power

quality. This energy monetization capability identi-

fies the most energy-wasteful areas of your facility,

enabling you to identify energy saving solutions.

Add basic power quality measurements to the pack-

age and you’ve got yourself one powerful trouble-

shooting tool.

435 Series II Power Quality and Energy

Analyzer

Think of the Fluke 435 Series II Power Quality

and Energy Analyzer as your insurance policy.

No matter what goes wrong in your facility, with the

435 II you will always be prepared. Equipped

with advanced power quality functions and energy

monetization capabilities, there is no electrical issue

this model can’t handle.

• PowerWave function captures fast RMS values

and allows you to see every waveform to

determine how the voltage, current and

frequency values are interacting.

• Power Inverter Efficiency function measures both

ac power and dc power, in and out, to monitor

the efficiency of your inverters.

• And, as with the other 430 Series II models, the

435 II features an Energy Loss Calculator that will

monetize energy waste due to poor power quality,

helping you save on the energy bill.

437 Series II Power Quality and Energy

Analyzer

The Fluke 437 Series II Power Quality and Energy

Analyzer is designed specifically for the defense

and avionics industries. Equipped with all the

functionalities of the 435 II including PowerWave,

Power Inverter Efficiency and an Energy Loss

Calculator, the 437 II goes one step further by

measuring up to 400 Hz. The ability to measure

at a higher frequency is necessary for those

working in submarines, aircrafts, and other trans-

port applications.

The new 430 Series II Three-Phase Power Quality

and Energy Analyzers offer the best in power qual-

ity analysis and introduce, for the first time ever,

the ability to monetarily quantify energy losses.

The new Fluke 434, 435 and 437 Series II

models help locate, predict, prevent, and trouble-

shoot power quality problems in three-phase

and single-phase power distribution systems.

Additionally, these models feature revolutionary

power quality and energy measurement functions

that help facilities reduce electrical power consump-

tion, and improve the performance and lifespan of

electro-mechanical equipment. Below you will find

brief descriptions of these new features.

Unified power measurement

Previously, only experts could calculate how much

energy was 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 new, patented Unified

Power function of the 430 Series II, you

can use one handheld tool to determine how much

power is being wasted, and calculate exactly what

the extra consumption costs.

Fluke’s patented Unified Power Measurement

System provides the most comprehensive view of

power available, measuring:

• Parameters of Classical Power (Steinmetz 1897)

and IEEE 1459-2000

• Detailed Loss Analysis

• Unbalance Analysis

These UPM calculations are used to quantify the

fiscal cost of energy loss caused by power quality

issues. The calculations are computed, along with

other facility-specific information by an Energy

Loss Calculator that ultimately determines how

much money a facility loses due to wasted energy.

PowerWave data capture

For some users, loads switching is a cause of power

quality problems. When loads switch on, the

current draw sometimes causes the voltage to drop

to a level that causes other equipment to malfunc-

tion. The PowerWave function available in the 435

and 437 Series II models enables users to capture

voltage, current and frequency signals simultane-

ously at a high speed to see which interaction is

potentially causing problems.

PowerWave goes beyond standard power qual-

ity measurements; PowerWave’s fast data capture

mode enables system dynamics to be characterized.

Waveforms for voltage and current are continuously

captured for the specified time, and are displayed

on screen in high detail; the power waveform is

derived from the data. In addition, half-cycle RMS

values for voltage, current, power and frequency

can be stored and retrieved for analysis. This

feature is particularly useful for testing of standby

generation systems and UPS systems where

reliable switch-on can be vital.

Power inverter efficiency

Power inverters take dc current and transform it

into ac current, or vice versa. Solar generation

systems usually include an inverter that takes the

dc energy from the solar cells and converts it to

useful ac power. Inverters can lose performance

over time and need to be checked. By comparing

the input power with the output power you can

determine the system efficiency. All 430 Series II

models can measure the efficiency of such inverters

by simultaneously measuring the dc and ac power

of a system to determine how much power is lost in

the conversion process.

400 Hz

By increasing the power frequency to 400 Hz,

transformers and motors can be much smaller and

lighter than at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which is an advan-

tage in aircrafts, submarines, space crafts, and other

military equipment and hand-held tools. The

437 II model captures power quality measurements

for these types of avionic and military systems.

CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V

safety rating

Designed to help protect you and your equipment,

the Fluke 430 Series II analyzers and accessories

are all certified to meet the stringent standards

for use in CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V

environments such as power connections and

outlets throughout a low-voltage power distribution

system.

Logger: record the detail you need

User-configurable, long-term recording of MIN, MAX

and AVG readings for up to 150 parameters on all

three phases and nuetral. Enough memory is avail-

able to record 600 parameters for over a year with

10 second resolution, or capture smaller variations

with resolution down to 0.25 seconds. The logger

function is quickly accessed by the LOGGER button,

the simple step-by-step setup makes capturing your

important measurements as easy as can be.

Automatic transient display

When using the 435 and 437 II models, every

time an event or voltage distortion is detected, the

instrument triggers and automatically stores volt-

age and current waveforms on all three phases

and neutral. The analyzer will also trigger when a

certain current level is exceeded. Hundreds of dips,

swells, interruptions and transients can be captured

this way. You can see voltage transients as high as

6 kV and as fast as 5 microseconds.

System-monitor: summary screen of overall

power quality health

The MONITOR mode delivers a dashboard display of

rms voltage, harmonics, flicker, interruptions, rapid

voltage changes, swells, unbalance, frequency and

mains signaling.

The dashboard is updated live, showing compli-

ance of each parameter to EN50160 limits or your

own limits. Color-coded bars clearly show which

parameters are inside (pass) or outside (fail) limits.

During a monitor session, you can easily drill

down to more detail of any parameter to view and

capture its trend for a report.

Extensive data analysis possibilities

The Fluke 430 Series II analyzers provide two ways

to analyze measurements. Cursors and zoom tools

can be used for on-screen analysis of measurement

data. Additionally, the stored measurements can

be transferred to a PC with the included software

to perform custom analysis and create reports.

Measurement data can also be exported to

common spreadsheet programs. Store hundreds of

measurement datasets and screen captures for use

in reports (depending on memory capacity).

Easy to use

Pre-programmed setups and user-friendly screens

make power quality testing as simple as you would

expect from Fluke. The high-resolution color screen

updates every 200 ms and displays waveforms and

wiring diagrams color coded to industry standards.

What is Class-A conformity?

Power quality measurement is a relatively new,

and quickly evolving field. There are hundreds of

manufacturers around the world with unique mea-

surement methodologies. Whereas basic single-

and three-phase electrical measurements like rms

voltage and current were defined long ago, many

power quality parameters were not previously

defined, forcing manufacturers to develop their own

algorithms. With so much variation between instru-

ments, electricians tend to waste too much time try-

ing to understand an instrument’s capabilities and

measurement algorithms instead of understanding

the quality of the power itself!

The new IEC 61000-4-30 Edition 2 Class-A

standard takes the guesswork out of selecting

a power quality instrument. The standard IEC

61000-4-30 Edition 2 defines the measurement

methods for each parameter to obtain reliable,

repeatable and comparable results. In addition,

the accuracy, bandwidth and minimum set of

parameters are all clearly defined. The 435 and

437 Series II models include flagging and available

internal clock time-synching to fully comply with

the rigorous requirements of Class A compliance.

The Edition 2 standard includes a new class

of instrument, Class S. While not as accurate as

Class A instruments, Class S instruments such as

the 434 Series II Energy Analyzer produce results

that are consistent with Class A instruments.
