AEMC PowerPad III Model 8435 power-quality analyser

The PowerPad III Model 8435 is a three-phase power-quality analyser that enables technicians and engineers to measure and carry out diagnostics and power quality work on one-, two- or three-phase networks. Four voltage input terminals and four current input terminals are provided. It is IP67 waterproof rated when recording with cover closed.

The analyser has 2 GB of memory for storing trend data. Additional internal memory is conveniently partitioned to let the user store alarms, transients, inrush and snapshot data synchronised or independent of each other. The user can store up to 50 screen snapshots, up to 210 captured transients that contain four cycles for each active input, and 10,000 alarm events from up to 40 different parameters. Trend data can also be recorded for days, weeks or even months. Inrush current can also be captured and stored.

Other features include: measurement of TRMS voltages up to 1000 Vrms AC/DC for 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-wire systems; measurement of TRMS currents up to 6500 Arms (sensor dependent); direct measurement of neutral current and voltage; frequency measurement (40 to 70 Hz systems); measures energy VAh, VARh and Wh; 65 µs/sample transient recording.

The analyser captures up to 210 transient occurrences on all V and A inputs, and records and displays trend data as fast as once per second for one month up to 25 variables. It measures harmonics (referenced to the fundamental or RMS value) for voltage, current or power up to the 50th harmonic. Free DataView software is included for configuring real-time display and report generation.
