Fluke vr101 disturbance recorder

[OneGuy]

Has anyone here used one of these devices?

Feedback please......

TIA

Yeah I do, it`s not much cop but better than nothing.

They work. However, as with any metering/monitoring device, the application
is what counts. What are you planning to do with it? Knowing that you will
get more meaningful answers. I have tested dozens of power quality
monitoring devices and many of them are great if applied correctly. None of
them work well in all situations. Simple as that.

I have used Flukes 43's 43b's, ACE 4000, Multilins, BMI, Dranetz, as well as
Analyzers from CH and SqD. My favorite is the RPM, (approx $25000.00 with
all the toys and report writer) Charles is correct no one meter is good in
all situations. Disturbances can be micro, even pico seconds to sags and/or
swells. It really depends on what your looking for. Or what you think your
looking for. Power line disturbances can be very infrequent which requires
long periods of monitoring to determine what is happening.

Good luck

Thanks. I (we, me and several other engineers and techs, whatever) have
tested all that you list and many more. We can confuse the heck out of an
RPM (and others) or slip events right by them. We know what events they
misclassify, what events they just plain miss, what events cause the meter
to reset. I have a theory about power quality monitoring, never trust the
data you get until you know EXACTLY how the meter performs in all
situations.
