  • Fluke PQ400 Three Phase Electrical Measurement Window

    Introducing the Fluke PQ400 Electrical Measurement Window— the safer, easier way to make three-phase power quality measurements.

    The Fluke PQ400 Electrical Measurement Window is a permanently installed interface that allows you to make three phase measurement connections on energized panels, without opening the panel door. Once installed, the PQ400 Electrical Measurement Window gives you access to critical power quality and energy data while decreasing testing time and helping you to maintain safety.

    Use the PQ400 Electrical Measurement Window to reduce the risk of arc flash and electrocution when making power quality and energy measurements, increasing the safety of your personnel and reducing the need for supplemental personal protective equipment. With permanently connected voltage and current sensors located inside the electrical panel you can make power quality and energy measurements using the external access points all without opening the panel door. Three phase voltage, current, neutral and ground connects are designed to cover most measurement scenarios, and with full 360-degree rotation you can install the PQ400 window in whichever orientation you choose.

  • Photovoltaic System Measurements with the Fluke Solar Irradiance Meter

    he IRR1 irradiance meter is the perfect tool to conduct comprehensive tests and measurements on photovoltaic systems. It provides four key measurements all in one tool: irradiance, temperature, tilt, and compass degree.

    Irradiation is a critical metric to consider when conducting a survey or inspection of a solar installation.

    1. IRRADIANCE: The Fluke IRR1 irradiance meter instantaneously measures solar irradiance up to 1400 watts per square meter. In addition to irradiance, solar professionals need to measure the temperature of the surfaces of a photovoltaic panel.

    + TEMPERATURE: The Fluke irradiance meter comes with an integrated temperature sensor that allows users to measure the top of a solar panel, simply by placing the unit on the surface. To measure the temperature of the back of the panel, the Fluke Irradiance Meter comes with an attachable, external probe.

    + TILT: Tilt angle of a solar panel is important to maximize efficiency. Identify the ideal inclination of a panel by enabling the tilt function. For scenarios where the rooftop is not level, use the Zero function to calculate the real tilt.

    + COMPASS DEGREE: The location and direction of a panel determines the amount of irradiation absorbed. Get the direction of the panel in degrees by using the compass function on the IRR1 irradiance meter.

  • How to measure irradiance with the Fluke Solar Irradiance Meter

    Even if a solar or photovoltaic system is installed correctly, it may not be producing the specified amount of power. Determine the performance of a solar panel with the Fluke IRR1-SOL Irradiance Meter.

    + Simply place the Fluke irradiance meter directly onto the solar panel.

    + The meter will instantly and precisely display the watt per square meter measurement.

    + The irradiance meter makes it easy to ensure you’re getting the optimum power from your system and also makes it simple to report and document.

    + The irradiance meter also includes a temperature sensor, compass and inclination sensor.
