Safety Information: Read First
Warning
Do the following to avoid electrical shock or fire if a Fluke 43B
common input is connected to more than 42 V peak (30 V rms):
•
Use only test leads and test lead adapters supplied with the
Fluke 43B (or safety-designed equivalents as specified in the
accessory list, see Chapter 2.)
•
Do not use conventional exposed metal banana plug
connectors.
•
•
•
Use only one common connection
to the Fluke 43B.
Remove all test leads that are not in use.
The maximum allowable input voltage is 600V. Use test lead
adapters that have a rating of 600V or more.
•
•
When powering the Fluke 43B, first connect the power
adapter to the outlet before connecting it to the Fluke 43B.
Do not insert metal objects into the power adapter connector
of the Fluke 43B.
Warning
In the scope function it is possible to select AC coupling and to
operate time base ranges and amplitude manually. In this case,
the measuring results displayed on the screen may not be
representative of the total signal. This can result in the presence
of dangerous voltages of more than 42 V peak (30 V rms) not
being detected. To guarantee user safety, all signals should first
be measured with DC coupling. This ensures that the full signal
is measured.

Fluke 43B
Users Manual
The terms ‘Isolated’ or ‘Electrically floating’ are used in this manual to indicate
a measurement in which the Fluke 43B COM (common, also called ground) is
connected to a voltage different from earth ground.
The term “Grounded” is used in this manual to indicate a measurement in
which the Fluke 43B COM (common) is connected to an earth ground potential.
The Fluke 43B common inputs (red INPUT 1 shield, gray INPUT 2 shield, and
black 4-mm banana COM input) are connected internally via self-recovering
fault protection. This is denoted by the
symbol.
The input connectors have no exposed metal and are fully insulated to protect
against electrical shock. The black 4 mm banana jack COM (common) can be
connected to a voltage above earth ground for isolated (electrically floating)
measurements and is rated up to 600V rms above earth ground.
If Safety-Precautions are Impaired
Using the Fluke 43B in a manner not specified may impair the protection
provided by the equipment. Before using, inspect the test leads for
mechanical damage and replace damaged test leads!
If it is likely that safety has been impaired, turn the Fluke 43B off and
disconnect it from the line power. The matter should then be referred to
qualified personnel. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example, the Fluke
43B fails to perform the intended measurements or shows visible damage.
Current Probe
Warning
•
•
•
Use extreme caution when clamping the current probe around
uninsulated conductors or bus bars.
Never use the current probe on circuits rated higher than
600V in overvoltage category III (CAT III) of EN/IEC61010-1.
Keep your fingers behind the finger guard.
Do not use a probe that is cracked, damaged, or has a defective cable. Such
probes should be made inoperative by taping the clamp shut to prevent
operation.

Volts / Amps / Hertz
This function simultaneously shows the voltage and current signal. Also the
Crest factor is shown. Use this function to get a first impression of the voltage
and current signal before examining the signal in more detail with the other
functions.
With the ENTER key you can toggle between Volts / Amps / Hertz, Power, and
Harmonics functions.
Power
This function measures and displays the
following power readings: active power (W),
apparent power (VA), reactive power (VAR),
power factor (PF), displacement power factor
(DPF or cos ϕ) and frequency. The voltage
and current waveforms give a visual
representation of the phase shifts
Fluke 43B can perform power measurements on balanced 3-phase, 3-
conductor power systems. The load must be well balanced and have either a
wye or delta configuration. This makes it possible to measure 3 phase power
using single phase connections. The 3 phase power mode measures the
fundamental power only.
With the ENTER key you can toggle between Power, Harmonics, and Volts /
Amps / Hertz functions.
Harmonics
Harmonics are periodic distortions of the
voltage, current, or power sine wave.
The signal can be conceived of as a
combination of various sine waves with
different frequencies. The contribution of
each of these components to the full signal is
shown as a bar.
The large numbers refer to the full signal;
the small numbers belong to the selected
harmonic component.
With the ENTER key you can toggle between
Harmonics, Volts / Amps / Hertz, and Power
functions.

Sags & Swells
Sags and swells measures fast deviations
(from one cycle to a few seconds) from the
normal voltage signal, and displays current
simultaneously.
The results are plotted on the screen as a
graph. The graph shows the minimum and
maximum values at each point of the graph.
The SAGS & SWELLS function is particularly
useful to record flicker.
SAG
Transients
Transients are fast spikes on the voltage (or current) signal. Spikes may
contain enough energy to damage sensitive electronic equipment.
This function detects spikes on the voltage signal and stores a picture of the
signal in memory. A transient is detected when it crosses an envelope around
the voltage waveform. The width of the envelope can be set manually.
DETECTED

Inrush Current
Inrush currents are surge currents which occur, for example, when a large
motor is started.
This function shows the current signal at the
moment of the surge. If the current exceeds
a specified level, the signal appears as a
gray band on the display formed by the
peak-peak values of the waveshape.
Use INRUSH CURRENT to look for inrush currents or other surge currents.
Measure the peak current and duration of the surge current.

Time resolution in Sags & Swells and Record modes.
The modes Sags & Swells and Record basically perform similar functions. In
both modes Fluke 43B plots a trend of up to two electrical parameters over
time. In Sags & Swells mode the instrument plots voltage and current only. In
Record mode the analyzer plots a wide variety of parameters, depending on
the function that is active when the Record pushbutton is pressed. In both
modes the instrument plots the parameters periodically over the so-called plot
interval. Refer to the table below for the relationship between Recording Time
and Plot Interval. The relationship is based on the fact that there are always
240 plots across the horizontal screen width.

Endless (16 days)
Fluke 43B always measures faster than the plot interval: it always is looking at
multiple measurements for each point that is plotted. In fact the analyzer looks
at all the measurements it has taken during a plot interval and records a
minimum, maximum, and average reading. The difference between Sags &
Swells and Record mode is in the measuring rate.
Sags & Swells is optimized for measuring short duration variations of current
and voltage. The rms current and voltage of every line cycle are measured.
The Fluke 43B then records the min (lowest single cycle), max (highest single
cycle), and average measurements at the end of each plot interval.
The Record mode takes measurements roughly 250 milliseconds apart. It also
records the min, max, and average during each plot interval.

In both Sags & Swells and Record mode the recording time can be set to
‘Endless’. This refers to the compression method that is used to generate the
plot. With the recording time set to Endless, the plot will start with the 4-minute
time scale, and compresses each time the plot runs off the screen. At the end
of 4-minutes, the plot will compress to half-screen and the time scale changes
to 8 minutes. Fluke 43B does this by looking at every pair of min/max values
and keeping only the highest/lowest values. The average values are
recalculated. The screen will start with 4 minutes and go to 8 minutes, then 16
minutes, and so on up to 16 days, always keeping the worst-case or extreme
values of each plot interval. If you do not know how long you are going to
monitor, this will guarantee the best resolution. The process stops after 16
days. The figures below show this process.

Troubleshooting
The Fluke 43B Does Not Start Up
•
The batteries may be dead. Charge the batteries first: power the Fluke 43B
with the power adapter without turning it on. After about 15 minutes, try
turning on the Fluke 43B again.
The Screen Remains Black
•
•
Make sure that the Fluke 43B is turned on.
There might be a problem with the contrast. Turn the Fluke 43B off and on
again. Now use the up and down keys to adjust the contrast.
The Batteries Operate less than Four Hours
•
The battery may be in poor condition. Try refreshing the battery as described
in Chapter 2 “Extending Battery Operation Time”.
FlukeView Does Not Recognize the Fluke 43B
•
•
Make sure that the Fluke 43B is turned on.
Make sure that the interface cable is properly connected between the
Fluke 43B and the PC.
•
Make sure that the correct COM port is selected in FlukeView. If necessary,
change the COM port setting or connect the interface cable to another
COM port.
The Printer Does Not Print
•
•
•
Make sure that the interface cable is properly connected between the
Fluke 43B and the printer.
Make sure that you have selected the correct printer type (see Chapter 1:

Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge
repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center
within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center or send the product,
with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest
Fluke authorized service center. Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair,
the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that
the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling,
Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work.
Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be
billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may
not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
