PCE-PA 8000 Portable Power Analyzer
Real-time current, voltage and power consumption measurement / Built-in data recorder with adjustable rate / Includes current clamps, alligator clips, test leads, SD card memory and 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects
PCE-PA 8000 is a portable handheld Portable Power Analyzer used for the testing and inspection of 3-phase / 4-wire, 3-phase / 3-wire, 1-phase / 2-wire and 1-phase / 3-wire electrical circuits. This handy power quality analyzer not only measures multiple electrical properties in real time, but also saves the measurement data in .xls format to the included SD card memory for quick and easy data transfer and analysis using Microsoft Excel.
The PCE-PA 8000 Portable Power Analyzer provides true RMS measurements of current and voltage. The Portable Power Analyzer also determines power factor (PF), phase angle (Φ), active power, apparent power and reactive power. The three current clamps included with the Portable Power Analyzer can be used on wires and cables with a diameter of 2.0" / 50 mm, allowing for use with the power grid. Also included in the delivery contents are four alligator clips, four test leads and an SD card. For real-time current, voltage and power consumption measurements at a glance, the PCE-PA 8000 features an easy-to-read 3.7" / 94 mm (320 x 240 pixel) LCD screen with backlight.
