Applications

Easy to use

Designed with the technician in mind, the four current probes are each connected separately allowing flexibility and simplicity. The instrument automatically detects, scales, and powers the probes, so you don’t have to worry about ensuring the measurements are correct.

An innovative tangle-free, flat, voltage lead makes connections simple and reliable. The instrument’s intelligent ‘Verify Connection’ feature, which can be accessed using the PC Setup application automatically checks to make sure the instrument is connected correctly and can digitally correct connections without having to disconnect measurement leads. In the event of a connection error, the power button on the unit will turn from green to amber indicating that the connections should be verified before proceeding.

The logger can also be conveniently and safely powered directly from the measured circuit (up to 500 V). No more searching for power outlets or having to run multiple extension cords to the logging location, which is especially useful when logging at a remote site and when installing inside electrical panels.

Analysis and reporting

Capturing logged data is just one part of the task. Once you have the data, you need to create useful information and reports that can be easily shared and understood by your organization or customers. Fluke Energy Analyze plus software makes that task as simple as possible. With powerful analysis tools and the ability to create customized reports in minutes, you’ll be able to communicate your findings and quickly solve problems so you can optimize system reliability and savings. A range of built-in report templates for industry standards such as EN 50160, IEEE 519 and GOST enable one-click reporting so you can create high-quality reports at the touch of a button. Reports can be modified as standards evolve, or new versions become available.

The flexible data views quickly show details of the measurement file in easy to understand formats. The calendar view shown above enables hour/hour, day/day and week/week comparisons simply by selecting the thumbnail views required. Each selected thumbnail is automatically detailed in the lower window.

Advanced data communication and software:

View real-time measurements wirelessly from outside the panel or from your office using the included Fluke Energy Analyze plus software.
Download logged files directly to a USB flash drive that plugs directly into the USB port of the instrument or by wired or WiFi connection to your PC
The export function of Energy Analyze plus enables export of one or more logged values with a simple parameter selector

Rugged and reliable

Built to withstand tough working environments, the flexible current probes are IP65 rated and suitable for most installation situations. The optional IP65 voltage adapter ensures safe, reliable operation even in harsh conditions. Standard 6.6′ (2 m) leads simplify connection on difficult to access conductors, and optional 16.5′ (5 m) leads are useful when installing in difficult locations. With the capability of powering the instruments from the power line up to 500 V, installation is as simple as can be.

Thoughtful design

It includes simple but effective accessories like the MA-C8 adapter making powering the instrument with a line cord easy when not in the field. Ports that aren’t always needed in the field are IP65 protected including the Ethernet, USB, AUX and I/O ports protecting for both moisture and dirt ingress. The status LEDs give a quick and clear indication of what the instrument is doing without having to touch any controls. Its compact size means that in most cases it will fit into the available space without any problems.Fluke 1742/B/EUS Offers

That’s why there’s been a rapid increase in the demand for electrical power measurement equipment recently. With that in mind, having an effective frontline troubleshooting and reliability tactic should be a priority. Keeping track of the power quality in your facility plays an important part in avoiding costs related to poor power quality management like productivity costs, reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and capital equipment degradation and failure. Webinar: Facilities Maintenance with Fluke Proactive maintenance and energy savings strategies are essential for cost savings in facilities. We’ve teamed up with Fluke to provide you with a thorough discussion on proactive maintenance strategies – approaches, tools, and the proper “health” measurements on critical assets. As managing energy costs are also critical, we will also explore how implementing an onsite compressed air and gas leak detection program, facilities can save tens of thousands of dollars annually and production equipment downtime. The latest test equipment advances have made it possible for users to perform leak inspections with little to no training in a fraction of the time versus conventional tools. During this short webinar on Facilities Maintenance, we covered:Monitoring critical assets with fewer resources Bridging the skills gapWhy are we replacing the same bearings and seals over and over?What are the best tools to use? How do we justify the cost of the tools and resources?How do we start a Proactive Maintenance program? Webinar: Introduction to Portable Precision Power Analyzers with Fluke This wideband precision analyzer is accurate enough for the lab, yet it's built for the field. Offering you more freedom than ever before to make high accuracy power measurements wherever you need to. Whether in the lab or in the field. Designed for portability and eliminates the need to carry large, fragile, expensive analyzers into the field, allowing you to make measurements directly at the load in nearly any environment. By measuring directly at the load, you can discover how the equipment operates under real-world conditions, with real-world variables, not just at a test bench or in the lab.
