Comtest has announced the Fluke Norma Series of high-precision power analyzers. Designed with the latest power measurement technology for the development and test of motors, inverters, lighting systems, power supplies, transformers, and automotive components, the Series consists of the three-phase Fluke Norma 4000 power analyzer and the six-phase Fluke Norma 5000 power analyzer.
Each of these rugged, compact analyzers is designed for easy and reliable use in the field or as a bench unit in laboratories and test benches. Based on a patented high-bandwidth architecture, Fluke Norma Series power analyzers deliver high precision measurements of single or three-phase current and voltage; analysis of voltage, current and power harmonics up the 40th; Fast Fourier Transformation analysis; as well as calculations of other derived power values.
Fluke Norma Series power analyzers provide complete measurements of both electrical and mechanical power values with an uncertainty of only 0.1%. The simultaneous measurement of electrical and mechanical power parameters in the same time window enables users to observe the influence one component has on another, or on the whole system. A bandwidth up to 10 MHz and a high sampling rate of up to 1 MHz enables detailed signal analysis. A unique shunt technique enables reliable power measurements at very high frequencies. The exceptionally high processing power enables precise measurements without gapping, ensuring accurate results even with rapidly changing signals.
The power analyzers are available in a variety of standard configurations with different power phases and modules to provide users with greater flexibility in meeting a variety of application measurement requirements. The 4 MB RAM data memory is provided for the storage of measured values. Recorded data and waveforms can be viewed clearly in the large color display and easily downloaded to a PC for analysis and report writing using the included Fluke NormaView software. A printer may be connected using the optional printer cable.
Fluke Norma Series power analyzers comply with the EN 61010-1, 2nd Edition (600 V CAT III / 1000 V CAT II) safety standard. The instruments measure voltage, current and power, then calculate associated values derived from these highly accurate measurements. Other useful features include a vector diagram function that shows the phase angle of each signal; a recorder mode that displays average values over time for trend determination; and a Digital Oscilloscope (DSO) mode that provides a quick view of waveform and distortion. Fluke Norma Series power analyzers maintain high performance and reliable accuracy within the industry’s longest recommended recalibration interval of two years. This long interval reduces downtime and saves service costs.
The Fluke Norma 4000 three-phase power analyzer and the Fluke Norma 5000 six-phase power analyzer include in their basic configuration a power supply cable, 5.7“ / 144 mm color display, RS232 interface for firmware upload, Fluke NormaView analysis & reporting software, color user’s manual, test certificate, and calibration values.
