Power and Harmonics Analyzer PCE 830 3

3-phase power analyzer, energy meter, and harmonic analyzer

with memory, PC port, and software

The PCE-830 Power and Harmonics Analyzer is used for measuring one to three phases of electrical magnitudes in the AC network. In addition to detecting 'normal' measurement magnitudes such as voltage, current, frequency, power, and energy, it also indicates, according to EN50160 standards, harmonic, interharmonic, and asymmetrical values. Network disturbances such as interruptions, thefts, temporary overvoltages, or transients (from 16 µs) are detected with their corresponding values. The LCD screen, which has good contrast and a dot matrix with backlighting, shows up to 35 parameters simultaneously. Up to 3 current clamps can be adapted simultaneously. In data logging mode, it can store up to 17,470 measurement values (3 phases / 4 conductors), and in the simplest case, up to 52,400 measurement values (1 phase / 2 conductors), distributed among 85 records. All this makes the PCE-830 Power and Harmonics Analyzer optimally usable for long-term analysis. The obtained measurement values can be sent to a computer at will and processed with the corresponding analysis software. The shipment content includes everything needed to perform the measurements and analysis (including software and data cable). Although the power analyzer is shipped factory calibrated, it can optionally be calibrated in the laboratory and certified according to ISO standards (with the first order for annual recalibration).
