Applications
Detailed disturbance analysis –
Perform high-speed transient
analysis and uncover root cause of
equipment malfunction for later
mitigation and predictive
maintenance. The fast transient
option, with its 6000 V
measurement range, allows capture
of lightning strikes.
Class-A quality-of-service
compliance – Validate incoming
power quality at the service
entrance. Thanks to Class A
compliance, the Fluke 1760 allows
undisputable verification.
Event correlation at multiple
locations – Thanks to GPS time
synchronization, users can quickly
detect where a fault occurred first,
either inside or outside the facility.
Galvanic separation and DC
coupling: Allows complete
measurements for example on UPS
systems including the battery
voltage and power output.
Power quality and power load
studies – Assess baseline power
quality to validate compatibility
with critical systems before
installation and verify electrical
system capacity before adding
loads.
User-configurable operation
The versatile measurement
algorithms and trigger settings
allow the expert user to optimize
the 1760 for each application to
capture exactly the data required.
Data can be transferred to a
computer directly or via an Ethernet
network, and retrieved during
logging without interrupting the
measurements.
Rugged and reliable
The instrument, accessories, and
power supply help you safely
conduct tests with 600 V CAT III
rating and EN 61010-1
conformance. The Fluke 1760
features a fully insulated housing,
which helps protect the user,
equipment, and surroundings from
electrical shock. With a 2 GB
compact flash memory instead of a
hard disk, there are no rotating
parts inside the instrument,
increasing its reliability and
durability for everyday use.
Broad measurement range
Developed in cooperation with
power utilities providers, the Fluke
1760 provides statistical analysis of
power quality according to EN
50160. It automatically captures
voltage and current waveform data
on all phases simultaneously. A
variety of power quality and power
parameters are measured, including
RMS values, flicker, voltage dips,
voltage swells, voltage unbalance,
current and voltage harmonics to
the 50th, interharmonics, THD,
mains signaling, reactive power,
transients, and power factor.
Plug and play
The Fluke 1760 power quality
recorder features easy plug and play
setup for immediate use. The
current and voltage probes are
plugged in separately into the
instrument, which automatically
detects, configures, and provides
power to the probes. All accessories
are individually calibrated and can
be shared with multiple Fluke 1760
recorders.
Fully Class-A Compliant
The Fluke 1760 is fully compliant with
the new IEC 61000-4-30 Class-A
standard, which defines the
measurement methods required for each
power parameter in order to obtain
reliable, repeatable, and comparable
results. With the GPS time
synchronization accessory, data
recorded with multiple instruments can
be correlated with Class-A precision.
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
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 instruments, electricians tend
to waste too much time trying to
understand an instrument’s capabilities
and measurement algorithms instead of
understanding the quality of the power
itself!
The new IEC 61000-4-30 Class-A
standard takes the guesswork 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.
