PCE Instruments PCE-PA 8300-1 Power Meter

Overview

The PCE-PA 8300-1 is a power meter featuring a durable enclosure, SD card memory, and LCD graphic display for comprehensive power analysis. It measures apparent, effective, and reactive power with simultaneous display of harmonics and waveform data. The graphic phasor diagram and transient capture capabilities make it ideal for power and harmonics analysis as well as network capacity measurement.

The device includes three current clamps rated for measurements up to 1200 A AC and is compatible with various manufacturers' power clamps. An adjustable backup interval allows for extended long-term data collection, while auto-setting of measurement range simplifies operation. The analyzer also measures power efficiency, delay angle, and frequency.
