PCE-PA 8000 3-Phase-Power Meter
real time measurement with registration in the SD card / Integrated timer and calendar to record data / Active, apparent, and reactive power
The PCE-PA 8000 3-Phase-Power Meter is able to measure and record the power in both single-phase or three-phase circuits. With the PCE-PA 8000 3-Phase-Power Meter you will be able to perform prolonged measurements. Measurement values are saved in xls format on the included SD card of our 3-Phase-Power Meter to be easily analyzed on the computer. Measurement sample rate can be set from 2 to 7200 seconds. The PCE-PA 8000 3-Phase-Power Meter can also measure power and determine both power factor and phase angle. The clamps of the PCE-PA 8000 3-Phase-Power Meter can be used for cables with a diameter of 50 mm / 2.0 in. The PCE-PA 8000 is the ideal tool to be used in power supply networks. Its 3.7 in / 94 mm display allows you to read all measured values for a quick analysis as well as providing a view of the current, voltage, and power.
