Introduction This Getting Started manual provides basic information on the Fluke 433 and 434 Three Phase Power Quality Analyzers. Fluke 434 has additional features such as Interharmonics, Transients, Energy Usage, Inrush Currents, extra memory to store Screens and Data, FlukeView software, and an optical isolated interface cable. - Page 4 • Use only insulated current probes, test leads and adapters as supplied with the Analyzer, or indicated as suitable for the Fluke 433/434 Analyzer. • Before use, inspect the Analyzer, voltage probes, test leads and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged.
- Page 5 Voltage ratings are given as “working voltage”. They should be read as V ac rms (50-60 Hz) for AC sine wave applications and as V dc for DC applications. Measurement Category IV refers to the overhead or underground utility service of an installation. Cat III refers to distribution level and fixed installation circuits inside a building.

Getting Started Brightness: Press to dim or brighten the backlight. Dimmed brightness saves battery power. For extra brightness keep pressed for 5 seconds. Contrast adjustment of the display is explained in the next section as a part of ‘Menu Navigation’. Lock keyboard for unattended measurements: Press for 5 seconds to lock ( ENTER... -
Page 9: Input Connections
Input Connections The Analyzer has 4 BNC-inputs for current clamps and 5 banana-inputs for voltages. Self-adhesive decals are supplied corresponding to wiring color codes used in the USA, Continental Europe, the UK, and China. Stick the decals that fit to your local wiring codes around the current and voltage inputs. -

Page 12: Screen Symbols
Getting Started Screen Symbols Symbols may appear in the upper and the lower screen areas to show the state of Analyzer and measurements. Status Indicators in the upper screen area: Time that a measurement has been going on. Format: hours, minutes, seconds. - Page 13 Each screen and its features are explained below. Read this carefully to get acquainted with all functions of your Analyzer. TABLE screen This screen gives a quick overview of important numerical measuring values. An example is the table belonging to VOLTS/AMPS/HERTZ mode.
- Page 14 Getting Started TREND screen. The Trend screen shows the changes over time of measuring values on one row of the table. An example is the VOLTS/AMPS/HERTZ TREND. Time is displayed horizontally. The display is built up from the right side of the screen.
- Page 15 WAVEFORM screen An example is the Scope Waveform screen. Voltage and current waveforms are displayed similar to an oscilloscope. Screen information: The RMS values of the waveforms are displayed in the header. Display of measured frequency. Waveform display area with grid lines at important voltage/current levels.
- Page 16 Getting Started PHASOR screen. Shows phase relation between voltages and currents in a vector diagram. An example is the Scope Phasor screen: Screen information: RMS values of the waveforms are displayed in the header. Vector diagram. The vector of the reference phase A (L1) points to the positive X-direction.
- Page 17 You can use a pre-defined set of limits or define your own. An example of a pre-defined set of limits is that according to the EN50160 standard. Power Quality Monitoring is accessible via the MONITOR key and a menu for immediate or timed start. Measuring values of the bar graph under the cursor are displayed in the header of the screen.
