(Fluke: Everett, WA) -- Fluke Corp., a global leader in portable electronic test and measurement technology, has introduced the 430 Series II three-phase power quality analyzers, the first tools to use a patented algorithm to measure energy waste and quantify its cost. The 430 Series II helps facilities reduce electrical power consumption and improve the performance and lifespan of electromechanical equipment by providing the return on investment justification to mitigate power quality distortion.

Previously, only experts could calculate how much energy was being wasted due to power quality issues; utilities could calculate the cost, but the required measurement process was beyond the reach of most electricians. With the patented Unified Power function of the 430 Series II, electricians, utility technicians, electrical engineers, field service technicians, and energy consultants can automatically determine how much power is being wasted and calculate exactly what the extra consumption costs are with a single handheld tool.
