Accurate and Compliant:
The FLUKE 1746 meets IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Edition 3 standards for power quality measurement. You can trust its consistent, repeatable results when monitoring at the service entrance, substation or at the load. The logger tracks harmonics, interharmonics, flicker, unbalance, and voltage dips, supporting detailed, standards-based reporting with precision.
Intelligent Logging with Intuitive Software:
Paired with Energy Analyse Plus software, the FLUKE 1746 allows seamless configuration and data analysis, whether in the field or in the workshop. The unique Verification Function ensures correct connection setup by detecting wiring errors. A simple press of a button triggers auto-correction—no need to remove test leads. When the amber status light turns green, you’re ready to log.
Via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you can securely view live data and download logs remotely, reducing time in potentially hazardous areas and limiting the need for PPE. Create one-touch reports that align with EN 50160, IEEE 519, or GOST 33073 standards. You can also export in PQDIF or NeQual formats for third-party analysis.
