Fluke 1738: A Must-Have Power Quality Logger

The Fluke 1738 Three-Phase Power Logger is an indispensable tool for professionals looking to make critical power quality and energy decisions in real-time. With compatibility for the Fluke Connect® mobile app and desktop software, it offers a comprehensive solution for conducting energy studies and basic power quality recording. Both the Fluke 1736 and 1738 automatically capture and log over 500 power quality metrics, providing deep insights to optimize system reliability and savings.

 

The Fluke 1738 Advanced Power Logger goes beyond the basics, offering advanced analysis capabilities, including an upgraded Power Quality Health Summary (EN50160) feature. This feature provides a quick overview of the overall health of the electrical system, enabling you to take proactive steps based on thorough power quality measurements.

 

 

Streamlined Setup and Remote Access

Setting up the Fluke 1738 is more intuitive than ever, thanks to an improved user interface, adjustable current probes, and the intelligent measurement verification feature, which automatically checks and corrects common connection errors. This reduces uncertainty in measurements and saves time during setup.

 

The Fluke Connect® app enables remote access to data, allowing teams to collaborate from a distance. This reduces the need for physical site visits, enhances safety by minimizing the need for protective gear, and helps make critical decisions in real-time. The included Fluke Energy Analyze Plus software suite also makes it easy to chart, graph, and interpret readings, enabling the creation of thorough reports. Additionally, you can generate IEEE519 Reports, which include detailed information on harmonic levels, voltage and current distortion, and load current (with the necessary license).

 

 

Easy to Use with Versatile Probes

The Fluke 1738 automatically recognizes and scales the four current probes, which connect independently. These narrow probes are designed for tight conductor spacing and can be calibrated to 150 or 1500 A, ensuring accuracy in a wide range of applications. With the innovative tangle-free flat voltage lead, connection is simple and reliable, while the ‘Verify Connection’ feature ensures the instrument is connected correctly and can even digitally correct common issues.

 

A detachable power supply allows the logger to be powered directly from the circuit under test, eliminating the need for additional power outlets or long extension cords.

 

 

Comprehensive Data Logging

The Fluke 1738 measures key three-phase power parameters simultaneously, including rms voltage, rms current, voltage and current events, voltage and current THD, harmonics up to the 50th harmonic, active and reactive power, power factor, and energy consumption. With enough memory to log data for nearly a year, it can help identify intermittent issues that are often missed.

 

 

Efficient Analysis and Reporting

Data capture is only the first step. The Fluke Energy Analyze Plus software simplifies analysis and report generation, allowing you to share results with your team or clients quickly. With robust analytical tools and the ability to create customized reports in minutes, the software empowers you to diagnose issues and improve system reliability, maximizing efficiency and savings.

 

 

The Fluke 1738 is an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to improve power quality, enhance system reliability, and reduce energy costs. With its advanced features, ease of use, and comprehensive support, it’s the ideal choice for professionals and homeowners alike.
