Fluke 43B Series Power Quality Analyzer
The Fluke 43B Series Power Quality Analyzer is a single handheld instrument for tracking down electrical problems such as nuisance circuit-breaker tripping, overheating transformers and damaged motors. It combines a power quality analyzer, a 20 MHz oscilloscope, a multimeter and a data recorder in one tool, and is well suited to industrial systems running on a 50 Hz supply.
Brand and standards
Fluke is one of the most trusted names in electrical test and measurement, and Powerpoint Engineering is an authorised Fluke distributor in Ireland. The 43B uses menus built around familiar electrical terminology, so engineers can move between power quality, scope and meter modes without relearning the instrument. As an authorised distributor, Powerpoint Engineering can also calibrate and support Fluke instruments in its own laboratory.
Applications
The 43B is built for finding and recording intermittent power problems on real installations:
- Diagnosing overheating transformers and damaged motors
- Investigating circuit breakers that trip unexpectedly
- Capturing voltage sags, transients and inrush currents
- Measuring power harmonics on industrial 50 Hz systems
- Logging readings over time to catch intermittent faults

FAQs
Can the Fluke 43B measure power harmonics?
Yes. The 43B measures power harmonics and, with FlukeView Software, logs them over time to build a complete harmonics profile up to the 51st harmonic. That makes it useful for tracking distortion on industrial 50 Hz supplies feeding non-linear loads.
How long does the battery last between charges?
The 43B runs on a NiMH battery pack that gives extended operating time of up to 6.5 hours. A PM 8907 battery charger and line voltage adapter is included in the kit, so you can keep working while charging from the mains.
Can Powerpoint Engineering calibrate my Fluke 43B?
Yes. Our in-house calibration and repair laboratory services Fluke power quality instruments and issues traceable certificates. Speak to our calibration team to arrange a slot that suits your maintenance schedule.
