PS3000 - Power Analyzer
It can:
• Record energy use (kWh), and peak demand
• Log power parameters: volts, amps, watts, va, var, pf, etc. over time (days/weeks/months)
• Track total harmonic distortion to the 63rd harmonic
• Display real time values in meter window – just like a multimeter
• Display oscilloscope waveforms, harmonic spectra, phasors via a PC + Serial communications
• Measure DC voltage and current
• Monitor 50Hz, or 60Hz systems
HANDS-ON CHOICE!
It's rugged construction make the PS3000 ideal for field work. Clearly labeled buttons display present values on a LCD window for quickly making spot measurements at panels and equipment.
Use it on AC single phase or three phase circuits and loads. Data is saved to internal memory that can be downloaded to a PC via RS 232 serial communications cable (supplied). PC software and Report Writer are included. See an example here: Report
