Fluke 1730 three-phase energy logger

The Fluke 1730 three-phase energy logger is claimed to be an intuitive, easy-to-use tool with professional-level, energy data-gathering capabilities.

Detecting electrical waste normally requires logging energy consumption over time, using expensive power-quality analysers operated by engineers with advanced training.

The Fluke 1730 energy logger offers a straightforward, intuitive design that lets technicians load studies and energy logging right out of the box. The results provide facility managers with the information necessary to identify and prioritise energy saving projects.

The compact energy logger conducts key measurements of voltage, current, power and power factor to identify areas of energy waste. All measured values are logged automatically and can be reviewed during logging. Common set-up errors are rectified, through re-engineered cables, digital check and auto-correct of all connections and an on-screen wizard for interval set-up. It has a high safety rating (600 V CAT IV/1000 V CAT III), can be powered directly from the measured circuit eliminating the need to find a power outlet, and has two USB ports for fast data downloads to PCs or standard thumb drives.

Data logged by the device can be imported into the the company’s Energy Analyse software for further processing and archiving. The software lets users analyse energy or load profiles including zoom in and zoom out on details, add comments, pictures and other information to data, overlay different logging sessions, create reports and export measurement results.
