Fluke 430 Series Power Quality Analyzers Advanced Features 
Poor power quality dramatically increases the amount of energy wasted in your facility — energy waste you still have to pay for. Fortunately, the new Fluke 434 Series II Energy Analyzer calculates the cost of that energy loss, enabling you to identify problem areas and implement appropriate solutions. You save energy. And money too.

434 Series II Energy Analyzer

Power inverter efficiency  Power inverters take DC current and transform it into AC current, or vice versa. Solar generation systems usually include an inverter that takes the DC energy from the solar cells and converts it to useful AC power. Inverters can lose performance over time and need to be checked. By comparing the input power with the output power you can determine the system efficiency. The 430 series II can measure the efficiency of such inverters by simultaneously measuring the DC and AC power of a system to determine how much power is lost in the conversion process.
	Unified Power Measurement  Fluke’s patented Unified Power Measurement system (UPM) provides the most comprehensive view of power available, measure: Parameters of Classical Power (Steinmetz 1897) and IEEE 1459-2000 Power Detailed Loss Analysis Unbalance Analysis These UPM calculations are used to quantify the fiscal cost of energy loss caused by power quality issues. The calculations are computed, along with other facility-specific information, by an Energy Loss Calculator that ultimately determines how much money a facility loses due to wasted energy.
	AutoTrend - Quickly see the trend  Unique AutoTrend gives you fast insight into changes over time. Every displayed reading is automatically and continuously recorded without having to set up threshold levels or having to manually start the process. You can quickly view trends in voltage, current, frequency, power, harmonics or flicker on all three phases plus neutral.
	SystemMonitor - Check performance against EN50160 with ease With a single push of a button, the unique System-Monitor gives you an overview of power system performance, and checks the compliance of incoming power to EN50160 limits or to your own custom specifications. The overview is shown on a single screen, with color-coded bars clearly indicating which parameters fall outside the limits.
	The System-Monitor overview screen gives instant insight into whether the voltage, harmonics, flicker, frequency and the number of dips and swells fall outside the set limits. A detailed list is given of all events falling outside the set limits.

Logging function allows you to customize measurement selections and provides instantaneous analysis of user-selectable parameters.	Measure and record power (W), VA and VARs, PF and energy consumption.	Track harmonics up to the 50th, and measure and record THD in accordance with IEC61000-4-7 requirements

The new 430 Series II Power Quality and Energy Analyzers offer the best in power quality analysis and introduce, for the first time ever, the ability to monetarily quantify energy losses.

The new Fluke 434, 435 and 437 Series II models help locate, predict, prevent, and troubleshoot power quality problems in three-phase and single-phase power distribution systems. Additionally, the Fluke-patented energy loss algorithm, Unified Power Measurement, measures and quantifies energy losses due to poor power quality such as harmonics and unbalance issues, allowing the user to pinpoint the origin of energy waste within a system and make the necessary repairs.

Questions You May Encounter

Question: Should I focus on different model numbers based on who I’m talking to?

Answer:Yes, you might find it easier to position the products this way:

·          The 434 – II is for energy focused users.

·          The 435 – II is for advanced PQ users and current 430 Series users.

·          The 437 – II is for military defense, avionics and other transport-focused users.

Question: Does the 430 Series II replace the current 430 Series?

Answer: Yes, it does. 

Question:How is the 430 Series II able to do the energy monetization, and does it really provide valid data?

Answer:Built into the 430 Series II is a mathematical formula created by the University of Valencia.  The professors and staff at Valencia spent years creating, testing, and re-testing the formulas that allow the monetization of energy.  Fluke heard about their work, did their own testing, and incorporated it into the 430 II, making it the only power quality analyzer in the world with energy monetization capabilities.  Like everything Fluke makes, quality is of paramount importance and this formula went through the same rigorous testing our products do.

Product Elevator Pitch

The 430 Series II is much more than an upgraded Fluke 430 Series.  PQ professionals have trusted the 430 Series and consider it a key tool in their arsenal, but it wasn’t a tool everyone could use.  The 430 Series II changes that because it now makes PQ, as well as energy analysis, something any electrician can do.

Every industry and facility is looking for a way to conserve energy in order to reduce its energy bill.  The energy analysis capabilities of the 430 Series II gives electricians the ability to determine how much power is being wasted and calculate exactly what the extra consumption costs.  The technology behind this monetization capability is revolutionary and can only be found with the Fluke 430 Series II – and you don’t have to be a PQ expert to use the tool.

The 435 and 437 Series II provide even the most demanding power quality professionals with all the capabilities
