More ranges, features and resolution for DMMs
Fluke has introduced the Models 187 and 189 digital multimeters.
It enables electrical engineers to assess power quality to EN50160.
The fully configurable thresholds and scale factors allow the user to optimise the Fluke 1760 for each application to capture exactly the data required.
GPS time synchronisation provides an accuracy of time registration better than 1us: an accurate time stamp is placed on all recorded events, enabling the source of a disturbance to be located by comparing recordings with time stamps taken at different locations, inside and outside the facility.
The Fluke 1760 can offer fast transient analysis up to 10MHz to get a detailed picture of even the shortest event.
The Fluke 1760 can analyse disturbances and their causes, assess reserves of transformers/feeders, carry out transient analysis, detect interference and power peaks, measure ripple control systems, and record day extreme values and load profiles.
The eight-channel instrument can measure four currents and four voltages, or eight voltages.
A "sensor off" feature allows users to switch off channels not connected to sensors to avoid complications caused by unwanted noise.
Comprehensive analysis software with a report writer is included.
This provides trend diagrams for root cause analysis, statistical summaries, report writing and real-time data monitoring in the online mode.
The Excel Report Generator includes simplified EN50160 reporting.
The Fluke 1760 and its accessories and power supply are safety rated to Cat III 600 V, and conform to EN61010-1.
Housed in an electrically insulated case, the rugged construction is built to IP50 for working in harsh environments.
