PS4500 - Power Quality Analyzer
We recommend the new PS4550 over the PS4500 for new purchases.
It can:
• Catch power quality events such as fast transients (impulses) to 8 microseconds, voltage sags (dips), and swells.
• Measure total and individual harmonic distortion to the 50th harmonic
• Record energy use (kWh), and log all power parameters: watts, VA, Power Factor, etc.
• Data log RMS voltage and current over time (days/weeks/months) with down to one second resolution
• Display real time values in meter window – just like a multimeter
• Display oscilloscope waveforms, harmonic spectra, phasors via a PC and Bluetooth wireless communications
• Measure DC voltage and current
• Monitor 50Hz, 60Hz, 400Hz, and variable frequency systems
HANDS-ON CHOICE!
EVERY CYCLE EXAMINED – FAST!
SAFE FOR NFPA 70E AND CSA Z462 COMPLIANCE
Be Comfortable. Be Safe. Get relief from wearing PPE.
