1.1 Product Overview
The 3197 Power Quality Analyzer is a measurement instrument designed to
detect power line anomalies and to analyze the power quality of power lines.
Power lines can be monitored and recorded for anomalies over long periods, and the causes
of anomalies can be analyzed by comparing measurements with particular standard charac-
teristics. In addition, utilizing remote computer control, abnormal events at a remote site can
be noticed as soon as they occur. Measurement data recorded in internal memory can be
transferred to a computer for analysis by PC application program for Model 3197.
Connect the instrument to the lines to be measured.
Power Quality Deterioration
Flickering light bulbs, short bulb life, malfunctioning office machines, intermittent device opera-
tion, overheating of equipment with capacitively compensated reactance, overloads, opposite-
and missing-phase relays sometimes occur.
Transfer data to a computer connected to the instrument by USB ca-
ble, and view measurement data using the supplied PC application
program for Model 3197 (p. 127).
Optional analytical application programs are also available for precise
data analysis.

forms of three-phase power
sources.
