Fluke VR1710 Instruction manual

Technical Data
Fluke VR1710
Voltage Quality Recorder
•Fast and easy recording of voltage trends,
dropouts, and power quality – Easily pinpoint
the root cause of voltage problems
•Extremely easy to use – Plug directly into the
mains power socket and record
•Continuous recording of all values with no
gaps – Save testing time by getting the whole
picture with one instrument that records both
events and voltage
•Clear graphical summary of data and quick
overview of key power quality parameters –
Take the guesswork out of diagnosing voltage
quality problems
•Min, Max, Average RMS values (1/4 cycle)
with time stamps – quickly see what happened
and when
•Actual transient display (>100 µs) with time
stamp – Quickly identify issues with included
graphical software
•Flicker according to EN 61000-4-15, indi-
vidual harmonic and THD values with trends
–Easily identify if the problem is power quality
or equipment related
•Statistical analysis of voltage event – reduces
analysis time by tracking event quantities and
magnitudes
•Includes PowerLog software package for
quick download, analysis, and automatic
reporting – Save time by generating reports
automatically with pre-set templates
The Fluke VR1710 is a single-phase,
plug-in voltage quality recorder. An
extremely easy-to-use solution for
detecting and recording voltage quality
problems, it allows for immediate action
and less downtime. The Fluke VR1710
satisfies the needs of maintenance
and facilities management personnel
in industrial, utilities, and large service
organizations where reliable voltage
quality is essential to the operation of
the business. Voltage quality param-
eters including RMS average, transients,
flicker, and harmonics up to the 32nd are
recorded using a user-selected average
period from 3 seconds to 10 minutes.

Applications
•Voltage recording – monitors and records
supply voltage; measures RMS average, mini-
mum and maximum values, and checks whether
the socket outlet is providing voltage within tol-
erance.
•Distortion measurement – measure frequency
and harmonics; check whether the distorting
loads (UPS systems, drives, etc.) are affecting
your other equipment.
•Flicker measurement – quantify the affects of
switching loads on lighting systems.
•Capture voltage transients – capture those
intermittent, momentary events that may be
affecting your equipment; the full waveform is
captured with date, timestamp, and duration.
