- Locates, predicts, prevents, and troubleshoots power quality problems in single-phase and three-phase power distribution systems.
- Measures voltage, current, dips, swells, interruptions, harmonics, power, energy, frequency, inrush, and power inverter efficiency.
- Calculates the fiscal cost of energy loss due to harmonics and unbalance issues within a system.
- Downloads trend and waveform data to a PC for analysis in Power Log software (included).
- Safety rated 600V Category IV, 1000V Category III, Degree 2.
The Fluke 434-II BASIC Energy Analyzer (also called a power
meter) can locate, predict, prevent, and troubleshoot power
quality problems in single-phase and three-phase power
distribution systems, to help facilities reduce electrical power
consumption and to improve the performance of electro-mechanical
equipment. The analyzer measures voltage, current, dips, swells,
interruptions, harmonics, power, energy, frequency, inrush, and
power inverter efficiency. It calculates the monetary cost of
poor power quality and helps to pinpoint the origin of energy
waste in a system. The logger function, activated by a button,
allows user-configurable, long-term of minimum,
maximum, and average readings for up to 150 parameters on all
three phases and neutral. The USB port and cable (included)
transfers data to a PC for trend and waveform data analysis in
Power Log software (included). A live dashboard-style display of
RMS voltage, harmonics, flicker, interruptions, rapid voltage
changes, wells, unbalance, frequency, and mains signaling
provides an overview of power system performance and, using
color-coded bars, shows which parameters fall outside the limits.
The analyzer can measure the efficiency of power inverters (such
as in a solar generation system) by simultaneously measuring the
DC and AC power of a system to determine how much power is lost
in the conversion process. For additional capabilities and
measurement details, refer to the users manual.

The analyzer complies with International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC)/ European Union (EN) 61010-1-2001, IEC
61000-4-30 Class S, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) CAN/CSA
C22.2 No 61010-1-04 (including cCSAus approval), and Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) 61010-1. It is safety rated 600V Category IV
1000V Category III Degree 2. Industrial power meters
are commonly used to test and evaluate power systems.

Industrial power meters measure electrical properties such as
voltage, current, power, and energy to monitor the efficiency and
performance of a power system. They are used for designing,
installing, and maintaining industrial, commercial, and
residential power supply systems. More advanced models have
features for comparing and multiple measurements taken
at different times and in different areas.
Fluke Corporation manufactures electrical testing tools and
software for industrial and commercial applications. The company,
founded in 1948, is headquartered in Everett, WA.
