Fluke MDA-550/FPC Motor Drive Analyzer

Overview

The Fluke MDA-550 Motor Drive Analyzer is a portable instrument combining oscilloscope, waveform analyzer, meter, and data logging in a single device. Designed for troubleshooting motor-drive systems, it features preset measurement profiles that guide users through essential tests while capturing critical data from input through the DC bus to motor output and shaft measurements.

Key Features

• 600 V CAT IV / 1000 V CAT III safety rating for use at service entrance and downstream locations
• Full 500 MHz oscilloscope with 10:1 or 100:1 probe options and 1 mV / 10 mV maximum resolution
• Preset measurement profiles for motor-drive input, DC bus, drive output, motor input, and shaft measurements
• Measures voltage, current, DC bus voltage and ripple, harmonics, and voltage/current unbalance
• Extended harmonics measurement to assess low and high order harmonic effects on electrical systems
• Integrated report generator for quick creation of as-found and as-left troubleshooting documentation
• Records inverter output voltage, DC bus voltage ripple, voltage modulation, and motor shaft voltage discharge

Applications

• Motor-drive system commissioning, diagnostics, and troubleshooting
• Inverter output and DC bus analysis for variable frequency drives
• Electrical power system harmonics assessment and monitoring
• Motor shaft voltage and bearing current measurement for drive-induced damage assessment
• Collaborative troubleshooting documentation and reporting
