Applications

Electric motors – Complete measurements of both

electrical and mechanical power values with an
uncertainty of only 0.1%. Through detailed spectrum
analysis and dynamic torque calculation capabilities,
switching losses caused by the inverter are
accurately measured, and a thorough evaluation is
made of torque transients and harmonics at higher
frequencies.

Inverter drive systems

measurement of all electrical and mechanical power
parameters in the same time window enables users
to observe the influence one component has on
another, or on the whole system.

Lighting systems

MHz and a high sampling rate up to 1 MHz provide
detailed signal analysis at ballast outputs. A unique
shunt technology enables power measurements at
very high frequencies. Simultaneous measurement
of input and output power provides instant
calculation of ballast losses.

Transformers

measurements enable highly accurate efficiency
and loss calculations of large power transformers
even at very low power factors. Synchronous
multiphase resistance measurements are also
possible of transformer coils. The internal formula
editor enables voltage ratio calculations, and the
combination of high-precision fundamental values
and wide bandwidth provides detailed harmonics
analysis.

precision and ease

Measuring system

Fluke Norma 4000 and Fluke Norma 5000 power analyzers
accurately measure current and voltage and calculate active,
reactive and apparent power and calculate other derived
values from these high-precision measurements.
Accuracy is not affected by either the waveform shape or
frequency over a wide range. Phase shift accuracy is
maintained due to the input channel design. Harmonics are
calculated up to half of the sampling rate.
The DSO function represents measured input parameters
as waveforms. Voltage and current can be measured directly
via the instrument’s integrated voltage dividers and shunts.
It is also possible to connect external voltage dividers as well
as shunts or current probes for specific applications. Options
such as additional interfaces, analogue inputs and outputs
are also available. The analyzer firmware can be updated via
the standard RS232 interface.

High precision measurements

Fluke Norma Series power analyzers are designed to
measure signals in a wide frequency range from dc to MHz.
The input stages are dc coupled and designed to handle high
rise time signals. A zero and offset calibration against a
stable voltage reference runs automatically over short time
periods to stabilize the accuracy.
All voltage and current channels are separated by a
unique technology of barriers for high channel isolation and
common mode rejection. This makes Fluke Norma Series
power analyzers suitable for special applications, such as the
switching waveforms present on variable frequency drives or
high efficiency lighting loads.

Non gapping

The exceptionally high processing power enables precise
measurements without gapping, ensuring good results even
with rapidly changing signals.

Longtime accuracy

Fluke Norma Series power analyzers maintain high
performance and reliable accuracy within the industry’s
longest recommended recalibration interval of two years.
This long interval reduces downtime and saves service costs.

Standard configurations

There are four different measuring channels available for
each Fluke Norma Series power analyzer. For the highest
level of flexibility and simplicity, you can choose from a
variety of standard configurations. This enables users to
select the power analyzer best suited to their application’s
power measurement requirements.
Each power phase module differs in basic accuracy,
current measuring range, sampling frequency, and
bandwidth. For detailed information about the available
optional modular power phases, please refer to Page 6 of the
specifications section.

Intuitive keypad operation

Fluke Norma Series power analyzers are very easy
to use. With their simple keypad layout and large
display, it is possible to select the desired screen
and quickly see the important data.

With the arrow keys, users can change phases or
move the cursor to highlight individual fields, which
can be accessed using the ENTER key. Settings can
be changed to suit the application at hand.
Configurations most used can be saved for later use.

The input modules can handle up to 10 A or 20 A
directly or measure current via wideband precision
shunts. The available range of shunts enables
measurements up to 1500 A and can be used in
conjunction with all of the available input modules.

Powerful NormaView PC software

The Fluke NormaView software improves operation
efficiency of the analyzers by enabling instrument
setup settings to be saved and stored along with the
measurement data. Instrument setups can be used for
particular measurement tasks. Settings can be easily
uploaded to the instrument with just a few mouse
clicks. The software also enables quick and easy data
download, analysis and report writing.

Optional process interface

The optional process interface can be used with both
Fluke Norma 4000 and Fluke Norma 5000 power
analyzers. It provides the simultaneous recording of
torque (M), speed (N) and mechanical power (Pm) of up
to four motors. Each of the eight inputs is switchable
between analog (voltage) or digital (frequency) input.
This interface provides synchronous capture at a
sample rate of 34 kHz. The interface also provides four
analog outputs, which are updated after every average
interval. By inputting the additional analog and digital
values it is possible to fully evaluate electrical and
mechanical efficiency in real time.
