AEMC 8230 Single Phase Power Quality Analyzer PowerPad Jr.





The AEMC 8230 Single Phase Power Quality Analyzer is easy-to-use, compact and shock-resistant. It is intended for technicians and engineers to measure and carry out diagnostic work and power quality work on single- or three-phase balanced load networks.
Users are able to obtain instant waveforms of an electrical network’s principal characteristics, and also monitor their variation over a period of time. The multi-tasking measurement system simultaneously handles all the measurement functions and waveform display of the various magnitudes, detection, continuous recordings and their display without any constraints.
The AEMC 8230 Single Phase Power Quality Analyzer PowerPad Jr. is available in complete kits that include your choice of current transformer below.
For a similar product that features temperature and RPM without the real-time waveform display, see the AEMC 8230 sister product, AEMC 8220
Applications:
- Motor start-up analysis
- Verification of power distribution circuits
- Measurement and recording of power system quality (kW, VA, VAR)
- Energy metering (kVAh, VARh, kWh)
- In-plant troubleshooting of power distribution panels and individual machinery
- Determine harmonic problems originating from source or load
Purchase the AEMC 8230 alone or with the available Current Transformers listed in the box below:
