1735 Power Logger Makes NEC-Compliant Load Studies, Energy Assessments More Straightforward

Everett, WA - Fluke Corporation announced the Fluke 1735 Power Logger, a portable tool for electricians and technicians conducting load studies to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) 220.87, energy assessments and general power quality logging.

The most recent addition to Fluke's line of power quality test tools, the Fluke 1735 can be configured in seconds to measure most three-phase power parameters and enables users to easily verify instrument set up with color display of waveforms and trends. It includes four flexible current probes that require no external power or batteries; the instrument automatically detects and scales the probes to measure all three phases and neutral.

The Fluke 1735 captures hard-to-find events by logging up to 45 days of data on parameters including rms voltage, rms current, phase angle, voltage events, voltage and current THD, voltage and current harmonics up to the 50th, active power, reactive power, power factor, active energy and reactive energy. The collected data can be easily downloaded to a laptop in the field, and the included PowerLog software enables users to quickly view graphs and tables of the recorded data, as well as to generate reports.

With its 600 V CAT III safety rating, IP65 dust- and moisture-protected case and compact design, the Fluke 1735 is a cost-effective, reliable solution for addressing applications including:

• Load Studies: verify electrical system capacity before adding loads according to NEC 220.87
  
• Energy Assessments: quantify energy consumption before and after improvements to justify energy saving devices
  
• Harmonics Measurements: uncover harmonic issues that can damage or disrupt critical equipment
  
• Voltage Event Capture: monitor for sags and swells that cause spurious resets or nuisance circuit breaker tripping
