Description
When a machine trips at night and nobody saw why, a Fluke 1738 power logger rental puts a witness on the supply. The logger records all three phases for days. It also flags each dip, swell and inrush event with a waveform. So your engineers stop guessing and start reading evidence.
What the 1738 adds to a load study
The 1738 covers every function of the Fluke 1736, such as voltage, current, power and energy logging. On top of that, it captures power quality events. Dips, swells, interruptions and motor inrush land in the record with the waveform attached. It also measures voltage and current unbalance, which overheats three-phase motors. In addition, harmonics and THD go up to the 50th order, so drive and rectifier pollution shows up clearly.
The inputs carry a 1000 V CAT III and 600 V CAT IV rating. As a result, you can connect it at a main switchboard as well as at a machine panel.
Typical rental jobs in Vietnamese plants
- Random trips on CNC machines, robots or drives that nobody can repeat on demand.
- Disputes with an industrial-park utility about supply quality.
- IEEE 519 harmonic checks after a new inverter or VFD goes live.
- UPS and critical-load studies in data centers and hospitals.
- Pre-commissioning checks before a critical line starts production.
Most of these jobs last a few weeks. Therefore a Fluke 1738 power logger rental fits better than a purchase, because a bought logger would sit in a cabinet between studies.
1738 or 1736: which one to rent
Pick the 1736 if you only need energy, load profile and demand data. However, choose the 1738 when you suspect a quality problem, since only it captures events with waveforms. If you are not sure, describe the symptom to Lost in HCM before you book.
Checks on delivery and return
Open the case while the courier is still on site. Then count the four i17xx-flex1500 flexible current probes, the voltage leads and clips, the power adapter and the soft case. Also confirm that the calibration certificate matches the serial number on the logger. Before you send it back, download your data with Energy Analyze Plus and clear the memory. Finally, coil the flexible probes loosely, because tight bends can damage them.

Fluke 1738 rental questions
Can the 1738 run on its own for weeks?
Yes. It can log unattended for weeks, so you can leave it on a panel and collect it after the study.
Does the rental include analysis software?
Yes. Energy Analyze Plus comes with each unit. It turns the download into load profiles, event lists and reports.
Who sets the rental price?
Lost in HCM quotes each job based on your dates and site. SMK Vietnam does not price, ship or rent the logger.
