The Fluke 1738/B Three-Phase Advanced Power Logger (Basic Version) is ideal for energy studies and an advanced level of power quality analysis. Its Power Quality Health Summary (EN50160) function is based on detailed power quality data, such as viewable event waveform captures, and provides fast and efficient insight into overall electrical system health. Not only are over 500 power quality parameters automatically captured and recorded, it also has the capability for the user to troubleshoot even more advanced power quality issues. With the measurement verification function, common connection errors are digitally verified and corrected reducing overall measurement uncertainty. The 1738/B comes with the Fluke Energy Analyze Plus software package which makes isolating issues easy by creating detailed reports where measurements can be charted and graphed.
With Fluke Connect and desktop software compatibility, critical decisions from data analysis can be made in real-time. As with all Fluke Connect wireless tools, hazardous work environments are no longer an issue. The logger can be accessed, data can be recorded and scrutinized and shared among team members from a safe a distance through wireless connection.
Fluke Connect®with ShareLive™ video call is the most comprehensive software and wireless test tool family that keeps you in contact with your entire team without leaving the field. The Fluke Connect family offers the largest system of connected test tools in the world. The Fluke Connect software is compatible with the iPhone models 4S and higher running iOS 8.0 or higher, iPad Air and iPad Mini (2nd generation) in an iPhone frame on iPad and iPod Touch (5th generation), HTC One and One M8 running Android 4.4.x or higher, LG G3 and Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.x or higher, Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.3.x or higher, Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 4.4.x or higher and works with now over 30 different Fluke products.
