Fluke 345

Power Quality Clamp Meter

Technical Data

The ideal meter for commissioning and troubleshooting modern electrical loads
With a bright color display to analyze the harmonic spectrum, a low-pass filter to remove high frequency noise, and a high EMC immunity design, the Fluke 345 is ideal for measurements on switching loads such as variable frequency drives, electronic lighting and UPS systems. Additionally, the Hall Effect measurement system makes measurement of dc current possible without the need to break the circuit, and the internal memory enables long-term logging for analysis of trends or intermittent problems.

AC/DC current: Clamp-on measurement of ac current up to 1400 A rms and dc current up to 2000 A without breaking the circuit Highest safety rating: 600 V CAT IV rated for use at the service entrance Accurate in noisy environments: Even with distorted waveforms present on electronic loads with low-pass filter Data logging: Identify intermittent faults by logging any power parameters for minutes or months, including harmonics Verify batteries: Direct measurement of dc ripple (%) for battery and dc systems Troubleshoot harmonics: Analyze and log harmonics digitally or graphically Inrush current: Capture and analyze nuisance tripping, from 3 seconds to 300 seconds Easy to use: Easily confirm instrument setup with large backlit color display of waveforms and trends 3-Phase power: Built in capability for balanced loads View graphs and generate reports: With included Power Log software

Applications
Set up and troubleshoot variable frequency drives and UPS systems - Verify correct operation by measuring key parameters Harmonics measurements - Uncover harmonic issues that can damage or disrupt critical equipment Inrush capture - Check start-up current where spurious resets or nuisance circuit breaker tripping occurs Load studies - Verify electrical system capacity before adding loads

Log measured parameters

All voltage, current, power, and harmonic measurements can be logged for minutes, hours, or months. Measurement averaging periods from 1 second to 15 minutes can be selected depending on the application. Measured parameters can be logged into three separate recording memory areas. If longer recordings are required, the three areas may be combined into one. Stored measurements can be recalled and displayed on-screen in normal screen format or downloaded using the Power Log software package.

Log parameters over time to track down intermittent faults.

Harmonics measurementsview key harmonic factors such as distortion factor and total harmonic distortion, as well as individual harmonics up to the 30th harmonic.

Flexible and easy to use

The 345 measures a wide range of electrical parameters and can be used for many applications in todays modern electrical environment. Measuring mode is selected by a simple turn of the rotary switch and the large color display presents data in a clear, easy-to-understand way. By default the display will show the most common measurements, in very large format. If more detailed views are required they are available with the press of a single key (up to six measurements at once).

Analysis and reporting software

Designed to quickly view recorded data, the included Power Log software displays all recorded parameters on interactive trends. Generate professional reports with the Report Writer function, or copy and paste images into report document manually.

Easy-to-use tabbed window format allows One-step download and display capability Waveform, harmonics, and trend download Simple data export to other applications
quick data evaluation.

Equipment performance measurement - power consumed by single- and three-phase balanced loads.

View recorded data in simple graphs and tables.

View waveforms for equipment checking and setup.

Inrush current
Diagnose equipment start-ups with the inrush current mode. A current trigger level is set prior to recording. Once the level has been exceeded, the meter will begin capture. Recordings from 3 seconds to 300 seconds may be captured, and up to 1000 inrush events may be stored in the instruments memory.

Easily customize the report.

Screen captures and data logging

Any measurement can be stored in memory for later viewing, or downloaded to a PC. Simply press SAVE to capture the active screen to memory up to 50 screen shots can be saved for quick and simple documentation. Additionally, over 150,000 individual measurements can be logged for later review on the display or on a PC using Power Log software.

Create professional reports.
