Chauvin Arnoux CA8436 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser
The Chauvin Arnoux CA8436 Power Quality Analyser can be used to investigate the quality of an industrial or administrative building’s main electrical network. This instrument includes five voltage inputs and four current inputs that can be colour coded using the included identification rings.
Additionally, the CA8436 Qualistar+ has been optimised for indoor and outdoor use in a variety of challenging environments. As such, it is IP67 certified and is therefore suitable for use in the rain. This instrument is ideal for use in factories and production workshops as its robust, waterproof design protects it from projections of solids or liquids. Furthermore, it is self-powered by phase from 100V to 1000V AC/DC allowing it to be used in a variety of locations.
It is also compliant with 600V CAT IV and 1000V CAT III as well as IEC 61010. It includes all the necessary features and functions required for comprehensively diagnosing electrical installations and can be used to measure voltage, current and power parameters. It can be used to determine the energy efficiency of an electrical installation.
