Power quality analyzers

[deltawhy]

Hello,
I am looking for a power quality analyzer to bring to site with me. I am looking to do harmonic analysis and need to be able to store and transfer the info to a computer.

I am looking at the Fluke 43B power quality analyzer. Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere for under 3 grand. Does anyone know of any suitable replacements that have what I need?

Oh and BTW I live in Edmonton.

Thanks,

Daniel.

We have an earlier version of this:

We actually got it on eBay so I'm not sure what a new one would cost. It works fine for what we use it for.

You can always rent. Try Accutech or Cat Rentals in Edmonton.

Voltech have some nice analysers, Yokogawa also have a couple of reaonable ones. Maybe renting would be the best option if this is a one-off job, otherwise ya pays what ya pays....

43B is really 3 grand? I recall getting mine ~2001 for about $1800 US.

Its a nice meter and in watts mode (harmonics), can also do phase angle. Volts / Amps

I made a modified 10x (or something like that), so I could also do voltage / voltage phase measurements.

I commission all over the place and rent everything now. One benefit is that you will get a recent calibration certificate with the rental, which comes in handy.
