Hello all,
Looking for the most versitle/cost effective power monitoring gear. I need to be able to data log, and then produce reports.
Thanks,
Colin.

Some instruments are designed to sit monitoring power quality over a period of days, others analyse on a cycle by cycle basis in fine detail. They're two different breeds of instrument - which interests you?

All these instruments are relatively expensive - ask for a trial for a week before committing to buy. See which one best suits what you are doing.

Fluke is Fluke!!!
Few companies, that I know, used this one.

We also have some Fluke 1750's and some RPM recorders for use for power studies and load profiles. But the 435 is what usually goes on first.
The AEMC power pads are also pretty good, I have some customers who have them and they are also good field instruments.
Hope that helps.

We've got a 8 or so year old RPM meter. I'm not sure I could recommend a RPM (aka Fluke RPM or 1750) power logger any more unless Fluke has done a major overhaul of the technology to make it more usable. To me, they had a great idea years ago but it didn't keep up with the times. For the most part, you have to use the software and look at graphs of the data that is recorded. You really have no access to the raw data or any numerical data on the waveforms recorded.

It will record all deta you need and report is very detailed
