Monitoring tools help reduce energy costs

The Fluke 1732 and 1734 three-phase energy loggers

One of the most significant costs at industrial facilities is energy. Although viewed as an unavoidable expense, energy is a variable cost that can be monitored and managed in order to reduce expenses.

The Fluke 1732 and 1734 three-phase energy loggers from Comtest aim to facilitate the analysis of energy usage and correlated activities. The tools are designed to identify sources of electrical energy wastage by capturing key measurements such as voltage, current, power and power factor as well as variables such as temperature.

Data can be viewed remotely by using the Fluke connect mobile application (app), reducing the need for electrical panels to be opened by technicians wearing full protective equipment and resulting in time saving and improved safety.

The 1732 and 1734 electrical energy loggers include the Energy Analyze Plus app software, promising more advanced analysis capabilities to better correlate data and improve decision-making. The loggers are rated 600 V CAT IV/1000 V CAT III, which is the highest safety rating in the industry, ensuring safe use at the service entrance and downstream.
