I’ve been working on designing a new substation and need precise load measurement tools. I’ve heard good things about the Fluke 435 II, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with it or can recommend other reliable options. Accuracy is key for assessing how we can manage our distributed loads effectively.
I’ve used the Fluke 435 II, and it’s solid for load measurements. Just be aware that while it’s accurate for most applications, I found some variance in high-power scenarios. Have you considered checking out the Rigol DM3058E as well?
The Fluke 435 II is definitely reliable for load measurements, but don’t forget to check the calibration regularly, especially if you’re pushing high-power loads. I found that it works great, but I had a few surprises when measuring close to peak capacity. Also, consider the Fluke 177 for a more budget-friendly option if you don’t need all the advanced features.
