Fluke 1742 Three-Phase Power Quality Loggers

Fluke 1742 Three-Phase Power Quality Logger

The Fluke 1742 is the entry point to the 1740 series of three-phase power quality loggers, built for simple load and energy studies in a rugged, compact package. It measures to the IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Edition 3 standard, the same premium accuracy as the higher 1746 and 1748, so the data stands up for reliable, repeatable and comparable power quality and energy decisions. iFlex current probes, WiFi and Fluke Connect make set-up and review quick and safe.

Supplied by Powerpoint Engineering as an authorised Fluke distributor, the 1742 works with Fluke Energy Analyze Plus software for download, analysis and reporting, and can be field-upgraded to 1746 or full 1748 functionality as your needs grow.

What the Fluke 1742 measures

• Three-phase and neutral voltage and current, to IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Edition 3
• Power, energy and power factor for load and energy studies
• Harmonics and RMS values for power quality assessment
• Real-time review on a phone through Fluke Connect, plus WiFi download

Class A accuracy, upgradeable when you need more

The real advantage of the 1740 series is the upgrade path. Start with the 1742 for load and energy studies, then unlock 1746 or 1748 capability through a software licence rather than buying a new instrument. Because all three already measure to Class A, the hardware is ready and you are simply turning on more analysis. That protects the investment when troubleshooting needs grow.

Specifications

Fluke 1742 compared with the 1746 and 1748

The 1742 suits simple load and energy studies. The Fluke 1746 adds fuller power quality logging for energy saving studies and network planning, and the Fluke 1748 logs over 500 parameters per averaging period with event waveform capture, for detailed root-cause analysis of disturbances.

Calibration and support

• Supplied and supported in Ireland by an authorised Fluke distributor
• Calibrated and repaired in our own lab with traceable certificates
• Backed by on-site power quality monitoring survey services

Keep the logger accurate through our calibration and repair laboratory. Full figures are on the official Fluke 1742, 1746 and 1748 datasheet and across the wider Fluke power quality range.

FAQs

What is IEC 61000-4-30 Class A?

It is the standard that defines the measurement methods, time aggregation, accuracy and evaluation for each power quality parameter. Class A means the readings are reliable, repeatable and comparable, which matters when disputes or compliance are involved.

Can I upgrade the Fluke 1742 later?

Yes. The 1742 can be upgraded to 1746 or full 1748 functionality through a software licence, without replacing the instrument, because all three already measure to Class A accuracy.

Does the Fluke 1742 need regular calibration?

Yes. To keep power quality measurements traceable and defensible, calibrate the logger on a set interval. Our in-house laboratory calibrates and repairs Fluke loggers and issues traceable certificates.
