C.A. 8436 Qualistar, Chauvin Arnoux's new off-road power and energy quality analyzer, offers robustness and waterproofing with an IP67 protection rating. It is suitable for industrial uses, factories, production workshops... and also on the outer dispatch cabinets. In preventive or corrective maintenance, the C.A. 8436 allows interventions on all types of low voltage installation.
For more autonomy, the C.A. 8436 self-feeds directly through the 100V to 1000V, AC or DC phase. Thanks to its 5 voltage inputs and 4 current inputs, the C.A. 8436 allows the continuous and simultaneous recording of all parameters. The multiplicity of its alarms provides optimal monitoring of the network. The full range of Qualistar allows the development of power balances necessary to develop an energy efficiency diagnosis. Qualistar analyzers are IEC 61000-4-30 compliant, and can be used to report measurements in accordance with EN 50160.
Performances
The C.A. 8436 measures useful voltage, current and power parameters until a full electrical installation is diagnosed. Low-level current measurements (100 mA - 10,000 A) are possible thanks to the use of MiniFLEX flexible sensors. Power measurements take into account all parameters: the decomposition of reactive powers, with the notion of nonactive power (N), deforming power (D), and reactive power (Q1). All parameters (transitory, alarms and waveforms) are captured and recorded simultaneously. The measurement of harmonics (in %f and %r) offers a complete decomposition of harmonics, including on the neutral conductor, with calculation of tensions and distorting currents.
Ergonomics - accessories
The C.A. 8436 features a large color TFT display, which offers a day/night inverted display for more comfortable viewing. Communication between the C.A. 8436 and a PC via USB is fast. In addition to proven ease of use, the C.A 8436 features many IP67 accessories: sector cord, tension cord games, MiniFlex and AmpFlex.
