Inrush function automatically
triggers off of current, and
captures start up measure-
ments on motors and other
devices to help determine
trip levels.
Measures everything
Measure true-rms and peak voltage and cur-
rent, frequency, dips and swells, transients,
interruptions, power and power consumption,
peak demand, harmonics up to the 50 th , inter-
harmonics, flicker, mains signaling, inrush and
unbalance.
Logger: record the detail you need
User-configurable, long-term recording of MIN,
MAX and AVG readings for up to 100 parameters
on all 4 phases. Enough memory is available to
record 400 parameters for up to a month with 10
minute resolution, or capture smaller variations
with resolution down to 0.5 seconds.
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 measurement methodologies. Whereas basic
single- and three-phase electrical measurements like rms volt-
age and current were defined long ago, many power quality
parameters were not previously defined, forcing manufactur-
ers to develop their own algorithms. With so much variation
between instruments, electricians tend to waste too much time
trying to understand an instrument’s capabilities and measure-
ment algorithms instead of understanding the quality of the
power itself!
The new IEC 61000-4-30 Class-A standard takes the guess-
work out of selecting a power quality instrument. The standard
IEC 61000-4-30 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.
Fully Class-A compliant
The Fluke 435 is fully compliant with the new
IEC 61000-4-30 Class-A standard. With this
powerful capability, all measurements will be
consistent and reliable in accordance with the
latest international standard.
