CHAUVIN ARNOUX CA8436 Power and Energy Quality Analyzer

Chauvin Arnoux CA 8436 [P01160595]  1, 3-Phase, 100A AC, 1000 V AC / 1200V DC Power Quality Analyser. The qualistar analyzers are especially suitable for maintenance and testing services in industrial or commercial plants or in public institutions. They provide an immediate mapping of the most important network parameters and the network quality. The devices are handy and accurate and offer many calculation and editing functions in addition. The series of the qualistar + Power Analyzers covers all applications in accordance with IEC 61010 in the measuring categories CAT IV 600 V and 1000 V CAT III. The qualistar C.A 8436 has sealed connections in protection class IP67 and is compatible with the whole existing qualistar measuring accessories. The qualistar devices can be from the simplest to most complex system in all power networks. To increase the operating time can be supplied the C.A 8436, even for the phase conductor of 100 V to 1000 V, AC or DC. The robust construction site case is particularly suitable for use in industrial plants, factories and workshops. In addition to its shock resistance, it is additionally protected against any penetration of liquids.
