Introducing the Vitrek PA900 Precision Harmonic Power Analyzer, a refreshingly easy-to-use high performance power analyzer that won’t break your budget. The PA900 delivers multi-channel, high-accuracy, wideband performance – to tackle the toughest energy measurement applications. Trust Vitrek to deliver world class power measurement capability at a price that is surprisingly affordable

Modular Design means Flexibility
The PA900 uses a modular design approach to provide the performance you need at a price that meets your budget. A single PA900 mainframe holds up to 4 Channels of power measurement in any combination of different Channel types.

• The S type Channel card provides economical, high performance power measurement with a basic 0.1% accuracy and enough bandwidth to handle waveforms up to 1 MHz.
• The A type ultra-precision Channel card offers a two year accuracy rating of 0.03% of reading and bandwidth up to 1 MHz.
• The W type Wideband Channel card performs precision power measurements on the toughest real world waveforms, with sampling speed fast enough to tame waveforms up to 5Mhz.
• The L type Channel card is the same as the A type but optimized for <150V voltage applications such as AC:DC and DC:DC power supplies.

And speaking of flexibility, each of the above Channel cards is available with your choice of different current input options.

• The D current input option uses an auto-ranging Dual Shunt system to deliver precision current measurement from as low as 0.1micro-amp resolution on the 1 amp range up to 20 amps rms on the high range.
• For higher current measurements, the H current input option operates from 10 micro-amp resolution up to 30 amps rms.
• The X input current option is designed to provide optimum compatibility with a wide range of external shunts and current transducers. The Vitrek makes it easy for you to configure a harmonic power analyzer that is perfect for your application.

Features:

• Most advanced Power Measurement Platform with an unprecedented range of capabilities
• Highest Precision with Industry leading noise floor—as low as 1ppm vs 300ppm or more on competitive units
• Up to 500 Harmonics at 400Hz, meets Airbus avionics power measurement criteria. Bar graph also features fingertip selectable numeric amplitude and phase data
• Large, Hi-Resolution Color Display shows all the data you want with an easy-to-use touchscreen user interface to get you up and testing in no time
• Modular design lets you choose up to 4 Power Measurement Channel Cards in any combination of three different Channel Card types
• The S type Channel Card provides 0.1% basic Accuracy with 1 MHz class bandwidth for an extremely economical price
• The A type Channel Card offers world class 0.03% Accuracy with 1MHz class bandwidth at a very reasonable cost
• The W type Channel Card delivers 5 MHZ class bandwidth and a 0.1% basic accuracy
• All Channel Cards types are available with one of 3 current input options: D - Dual Shunt, H - High Current and X - External Current Transducer Input
• Built-in Data Logger—Logs up to 16 selectable data results to USB thumbdrive. Intervals from 10mS to 100 hours with optional time/date stamps
• Power Data Screen - displays V, A, W, VA, VAR and PF data for any selected channel or group of channels
• Custom Power Data Screens - lets you choose the color, font size, location and data you want displayed
• With selectable time base and triggering—Scope View, acts as a digital scope to capture events such as in-rush current
• Cycle View - Represents a single cycle of the voltage and current periodic waveforms sampled over many cycles within a measurement period
• Vector Screen—Displays up to 10 fundamental voltage and current vectors
• History Screen—Like a DVR, the PA900 automatically maintains a continuous historical recording of measurement data. Any data from this record may be viewed or downloaded. Pause, clear and restart functionality is available from the HISTORY screen or via interface
• Effective Sampling Rate - for analysis of periodic signals within a measurement period is 384MSPS
• Measurement Resolution—22 bit for S & W type Channel Cards, 24 bit for A type
• Up to 3 Different Virtual Power Analyzers (VPAs) may be configured for three phase measurements or input/output efficiency tests—so there is no need to interconnect separate units in order to make synchronous or non-synchronous group power measurements
• VPA Efficiency Grouping—Available data includes: Power totals for IN, MIDDLE and OUT efficiency groups, the power loss between any pair of groups, and the percentage efficiency between any pair of groups
• VPA Multi-Channel Wiring—Each VPA may be configured as 2ø3w (2 ch), 3ø3w (2 ch), 3ø3w (3 ch), 3ø4w (3 ch)
• Connectivity - Ethernet, High Speed Serial and USB (client) control interfaces
• Front Panel USB Drive Interface—Permits data logging to a file, 'screen shot' capture, easy import and export of: display and measurement configurations and custom data screen definitions
• Available MT type Channel Card for motor torque and speed inputs
• CE mark certified to EN61010
• Two year parts and labor warranty, two year accuracy specs and calibration cycle
• Made in the USA
