| Voltech PM3000ACE Features : |
The PM3000ACE is the high-precision anchor of the Voltech power analyzer range. Deceptively easy-to-use and always providing reliable and stable measurements, the PM3000ACE is feature-packed with measurement algorithms gained from years of experience with our customer’s applications.
- Intuitive front-panel or Windows software operation
- High 0.05% basic accuracy
- Wide bandwidth measurements, DC and 0.1Hz to 1MHz
- Measures W, V, A, VA, Var, power factor, Cos, Vpk, Apk, crest factors, frequency and inrush current
- Harmonics of V, A (incl.
phase) and W to the 99th. THD
- Integrator for W-hr, VA-hr, A-hr, VA-hr, average and target PF
- Crest factors up to 20
- Accurate on distorted waveforms and at low power factors
- VPAS PC software for set-up, data storage and handling
- All interfaces fitted as standard
- All instruments supplied with test leads, user manual and certificate of calibration and conformance traceable to international standards
- Range of accessories includes current clamps and transformers, PS1000 switch for inrush measurements and Ballast CT for electronic ballast testing
- Unique frequency detection techniques to determine the frequency of the applied voltage and current.
The PM3000ACE does NOT use simple zero-crossing techniques which provide inaccurate results on noisy and distorted waveforms
- Simple calculation of watts and rms volts and amps according to classical textbook definitions.
Provides accurate results when the waveform is not a sinusoid. Accurate with crest factors up to 20
- Discrete Fourier Transform determines harmonics up to the 100th.
The PM3000ACE does NOT use fast fourier (FFT) algorithms. FFTs are prone to errors that must be corrected using windowing techniques
- Special PWM motor-drive and power transformer test modes
- 4mm safety connectors for direct input of voltage and current
- Range of external current transformers and other transducers connect easily to the analyzer
- Torque and speed inputs for the measurement of mechanical power on motors and generators
- IEEE488 (GPIB) and RS232 for full measurement set-up and recording
