Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser
The Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser delivers reliable power quality insight for demanding electrical environments. It supports full IEC 61000-4-30 Class A compliance, which ensures trusted and repeatable results. Users can quickly assess faults, energy use and network performance across installations. This version is supplied with a choice of either 4x A193-450 flexible clamps or 4x MA194-350 flexible clamps.
Built for field work, the Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser combines accuracy with ease of use. It features a clear 7 inch colour touchscreen and tactile buttons for control when wearing gloves. In addition, automatic sensor detection speeds up setup and reduces user error. As a result, engineers can begin testing without delay.
Advanced Measurement Capability
With voltage measurement up to 1000V AC or DC, the analyser captures a wide range of electrical data. It also performs harmonics and interharmonics analysis beyond standard limits, reaching up to the 127th order. Furthermore, key values such as power factor, K factor and distortion are calculated in real time. This allows a full understanding of system efficiency and behaviour.
Moreover, the Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser records events such as transients, inrush currents and voltage dips. It supports waveform capture and trend logging over long periods. Consequently, users can monitor systems continuously and detect issues before they escalate.
Connectivity and Data Handling
For flexible data management, the unit offers USB, Ethernet and WiFi communication. It also includes SD card support for local storage and transfer. Remote access via server mode allows users to retrieve data securely from anywhere. Therefore, reporting and analysis become faster and more efficient.
Additionally, the analyser integrates with PAT3 software for advanced processing and reporting. Alarm functions can trigger email notifications when thresholds are exceeded. The Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Qualistar+ Power Quality Analyser ensures accurate monitoring while improving workflow and response time. Its robust design and included clamp options make it suitable for varied applications.
