We have a Fluke 434 and are quite happy with it. 
The new 435 provides extensive logging functions.

Caveat: I don't see any way to extract the data in a useful 
        way to generate input for a power test system.

The 434 is preconfigured to test AC power against the EN 50160, but
custom limits can be used also.

Best regards,
Michael

Subject: Worst Case AC Power Conditions

Greetings,

1.  Can anyone provide specifications for a "worst case" real world AC
power line condition in which an apparatus is expected to operate
properly in (pass/criteria A)? This would encompass a combination of
harmonics, voltage variations, frequency variations, etc..

2.   Also, if anyone has a program for a California Instrument CTS
system with a 5000ix power supply that could test for a "worst case" AC
line condition, that would be helpful. I have heard that some companies
have developed such a custom program to simulate poor power conditions
>from different parts of the world. Such a program would operate with the
the provided CIgui32 program. 

3.   Can anyone recommend an AC Power Line analyzer that we can just
plug-in and it will analyze the AC power conditions at different
customer locations? Then we could take the results and program our
5000ix power supply to simulate those conditions in our lab. 

The reason I'm asking is that from time to time we have experienced
problems in the field due to with poor AC power line conditions at some
customer locations even though we test and comply with the standard
tests that are required for CE (surge, burst, dips, etc). We want to
develop an internal test standard that will minimize problems in the
field.

Thank for any help or advice you can offer.

The Other Brian.
