single phase power quality monitor

[Jeff Kenney]

I see fluke has one for $999

any other single phase power quality monitors that are good for recording voltage or voltage events over time?

See if you can rent one.

I suspect it's not something you need everyday, but checking out venue power that may be suspect.

Utility companies over here will fit one for a while if you bug them enough, if it's for generator power then renting is one option tough the metering on modern gensets is pretty accurate now. G

Cheap, but we've got one and it seems to work just fine:
ACScout - Keep tabs on the power company with simple power monitoring!

I have a Fluke 289 that does datalogging and outputs graphs/CSV files via FlukeView Forms software. It's also a nice meter, so may not be just a single-purpose device for you. The real power quality analyzers will show more than just voltage, but maybe voltage trending is enough for you.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Curious to how it measures power with a transformer power supply... interesting. Got one on the way!

Plenty of options for simple voltage recorders, including logging DMMs and the Watts Up plug-load meters. The reason the Fluke (assuming the VR1710) costs what it does is because it also measures harmonic distortion.

I use fluke 435, 1870!and aemc 3945. They are accurate and made for power quality studies... I use them to monitor harmonics in industrial networks but I also use this type of meter to log transients and voltage disturbances. The 1750 is a lot more expansive but you can use it to monitor for very long time, weeks and months

I got a couple of old blue Dranitz units. They need work though but I was thinking I might get one working from two units.
