Fluke has introduced a new logger specifically designed for energy conscious consumers. The Fluke 1730 three-phase electrical energy logger is rated for its simplicity in discovering sources of electrical energy waste. Its ability to profile energy usage across facilities allows users to identify opportunities for energy savings and provides easily understandable data to support decision making.
The 1730 shows when and where energy is being consumed in the facility, from the service entrance to the individual circuits. It compares multiple data points over time and builds a comprehensive picture of energy usage with the energy analyser software package. It facilitates the rapid understanding of specific points of energy loss, which can in turn reduce energy bills.
In conjunction with a VT02 visual IR thermometer or the Ti125 infrared camera, the 1730 can take energy surveys to the next level and identify opportunities for energy savings both electrically and thermally. When using an infrared camera or a visual IR thermometer along with the 1730 Energy Logger, users are able to discover potential problems that could be wasting energy and then quantify them electrically. This combo is an ideal toolset to uncover hidden operational wastes such as lighting, air conditioning and other large loads that could be switched off when not in use.
Features include:
* Comprehensive logging: more than 20 separate logging sessions can be stored on the instrument. In fact, all measured values are automatically logged and can be reviewed during logging and before downloading for on-the-go analysis.
* Complete in the field setup through the front panel: no need to return to the workshop for download and setup or to take a computer to the electrical panel.
* Battery life: four-hour operating time (backup time) per charge on lithium-ion battery.
* Safety rating: 600 V CAT IV/1000 V CAT III rated for use at the service entrance and downstream.
