PA901AD Series Power Analyzer with a Single Hi Accuracy AD Channel Card

Vitrek's PA900 modular system is a refreshingly easy-to-use high-performance power analyzer that won’t break your budget. It delivers multi-channel, high-accuracy, wideband performance – to tackle the toughest energy measurement applications. Choose your channels cards (sold separately) or start with the PA901AD which comes with a single hi accuracy AD channel card. Each electrical channel provides the analyzer with one voltage and one current measurement which are always simultaneously sampled to provide the best power accuracy.

Channel Type A:

• Provides total 0.03 percent accuracy
• 1MHz class bandwidth
• 24bit sampling
• 1000Vrms maximum continuous voltage input

Current Input Option D:

• Dual Shunt (up to 20Arms continuous and 150Apk inrush)
• Single input terminal pair
• Resolution down to 0.1µA
• Capable of being used with a current output CT.

Includes: Power Cord, Operating Manual, and supplemental applications. H500, EN, and MU options now included.

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.
