PCE-GPA 62 Amperemeter

Ammeter / power meter and energy meter (real-time) 

with data logging, graphical display, PC interface, and software

The ammeter (Graphic Power Quality Analyzer) PCE-GPA 62 is used for measuring one or three phases of active, reactive, and apparent power, power factor, phase angle, energy, voltage, current, as well as peaks and harmonics up to the 50th harmonic waveform. For this purpose, the integrated graphic display optimally shows the values of the network analyzer. The measurement values can be recorded and subsequently transferred to a PC for analysis. The PCE-GPA 62 is a professional handheld device that allows you to determine multiple parameters. Thanks to the backlighting of the display, you can accurately read the values even if the lighting conditions are not optimal. Although the ammeter is factory calibrated, it can optionally be calibrated in the laboratory and certified according to ISO standards (with the first order for annual recalibration).

- Real-time checking, recording, and measurement of voltage and current (actual effective)

- Measures power factor and phase angle, frequency, energy, active power, 

  reactive power and apparent power, (1 phase or 3 phases in symmetrical networks).

- Maximum conductor diameter: 55 mm

- Graphic display

- Automatic disconnection after 15 minutes (the function can be disabled)

- Optional ISO calibration
