What is a power quality analyser?

At PCE Instruments you will find a power quality analyser to measure the power in W, kWh or to analyze and measure harmonics. This power analyzer is a multi-function power analyser device that measure precisely direct current, alternating current, AC-voltage, DC-voltage the intensity of DC or AC, phase rotation and idle, apparent and effective power. The reading of AC power is considered the real value and has a maximum range of 6000 Watts. While a reading is being taken, the polarity changes automatically, if negative values are taken then a minus sign will appear on the device display.

Nowadays, power quality analysers have many features such as, insulated current input, measurement of harmonics, AC and DC current measurement, AC and DC voltage measurement, frequency measurement, phase rotation measurement and idle, apparent and effective power measurement. All this data can also be logged and analysed with the delivered PC-Software. Power analysers of the type PCE PA 6000 can determine the energy in single-phase systems.

Power quality analysers of type PCE-GPA 62 allow the energy measurement in symmetrically loaded three-phase systems. Power analysers of type PCE-PA 8000, PCE-360 and PCE-830 support professional power and energy measurements in single and three-phase systems.

Apart from being used as energy-measuring devices, power analysers like the PCE-830 can also be used for network analysis and the determination of harmonics and phase rotation. On our website you will find other power analysers used in the field of electronics.
