Characteristics

 

- Accuracy: 5% +0.5 A

-Capture time: 10 periods of the signal frequency (200 ms at 50 Hz)

- Range for use: 

³

'3d 5 A peak for the first period of the signal

3.8 Power measurement (W var VA)

1. 

Connect the measurement leads to the instrument’s terminals, complying with the polarities indicated: red lead

    on the “+” terminal and black lead on the “COM” terminal.

2.

 Set the rotary switch to position “

W

”(single phase measurement).

3.

 Make a long press on the yellow key for measurement on balanced 3 phases system.

4. 

Connect the clamp on the system selected for power measurement, complying with the following instructions:

SINGLE PHASE SYSTEM

-Connect the measurement cables for voltage measurement, red cable on phase, black cable on neutral. -Clamp

the conductor carrying the current to be measured, check for proper closing of the jaws and for foreign bodies in

the gap.

BALANCED 3 PHASES SYSTEM

Connect the measurement cable for voltage measurement, red cable on phase 1, black cable on phase 2 (U

12

measurement).

- Clamp the conductor of phase 3 (I

3

 measurement).

Nota :

 same results are achieved with the following couples of measurement : U

23

 with I

1

 and U

31

 with I

2

.

In both cases the “ •'3f “ arrow on the jaws, must be directed in the direction of power circulation from the source

to the load. In which case:

     - the “+” sign corresponds to power consumed by the load.

     - the “-” sign corresponds to power supplied by the load.

(1) the scale is limited to 240 kW (kvar, kVA) in one-phase (600 V x 400 A) and 399.9kW (kvar kVA) in 3

                     phases  system. Above this value, the display indicates 

+OL

 or 

-OL

 depending on the sign of the

                     power.

(2) if the power value is < 5 W or if the voltage or current values are respectively < 0.15 V or < 0.15 A, 

0

                    is displayed.

              (3) The measurement accuracy is affected by an instability linked to current measurement of approximately

                    0.1 A.

            

        Example:

 for a power measurement performed at 10 A, the instability of the measurement will be 0.1

                    A/10A, or 1%.
