Description
PCE-PA 8000 Clamp on Tester
real time measurement with registration in the SD card / Integrated timer and calendar to record data / Active, apparent, and reactive power
The PCE-PA 8000 Clamp on Tester is able to measure and record the power in both single-phase or three-phase circuits. With the PCE-PA 8000 Clamp on Tester you will be able to perform prolonged measurements. Measurement values are saved in xls format on the included SD card of our Clamp on Tester to be easily analyzed on the computer. Measurement sample rate can be set from 2 to 7200 seconds. The PCE-PA 8000 Clamp on Tester can also measure power and determine both power factor and phase angle. The clamps of the PCE-PA 8000 Clamp on Tester can be used for cables with a diameter of 50 mm / 2.0 in. The PCE-PA 8000 is the ideal tool to be used in power supply networks. Its 3.7 in / 94 mm display allows you to read all measured values for a quick analysis as well as providing a view of the current, voltage, and power.
