Rugged Fluke Tool: 'scope, rms DMM & Paperless Recorder
Rugged multifunction test instrument.
Everett, WA — Fluke Corporation has introduced the latest addition to the ScopeMeter 120 Series. With advanced features for installing and troubleshooting industrial network buses and electrical industrial machinery, the rugged Fluke ScopeMeter 125 is designed to be an integrated all-purpose tool for service, maintenance and installation (SMI) engineers.
The instrument works with many industrial networks including AS-I bus, CAN-bus, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and Ethernet. It includes a bus health test feature, which enables users to quickly determine whether an industrial bus is working and helps identify the cause if it is not. In addition, the instrument can measure power, harmonics, motor winding resistance and motor effective voltage from a variable frequency drive controller, thus eliminating the need for expensive, more specialized test equipment.
Fluke ScopeMeter 120 Series tools integrate oscilloscope, true-RMS digital multimeter and dual-input paperless recorder in one instrument. The ScopeMeter 120 Series instruments are 600V CAT III safety certified for machinery, instrumentation, control and power systems.
The new 125 has all the features of the 123 and 124 ScopeMeters and in addition to the bus health test, it also takes (Vpwm) voltage measurements of motor drive output, has 0.01Ω resolution on the 50Ω range for testing motor windings, and is capable of measuring power and harmonics over a wide frequency range. User-named data setups make for easy use.
The instrument provides extended harmonics analysis of mains waveforms up to the 33rd harmonic. That includes the important 3rd and 5th harmonics, which can be an indicator of overheating in the neutral wire or motor, as well as of flat-topping of the mains voltage from non-linear loads like SMPS units. The wide frequency range covers railway (16.66Hz) and avionics power generator systems (400Hz) applications.
Power measurements cover single-phase and balance three-phase, 3-wire systems (Watt, VA, VAR and Power Factor). Unlike power quality analyzers, the instrument is not restricted to 50/60Hz, and can measure power at the output of motor drives and frequency converters.
