Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 Qualistar+ Power Analyser
Accurate power analysis helps engineers understand how electrical systems perform under real conditions. The Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 Qualistar+ Power Analyser delivers detailed insight into voltage, current, power, and energy behaviour across industrial and commercial installations. With its portable design and clear display, the analyser allows technicians to perform fast checks or extended monitoring with confidence.
Electrical systems often require multi channel monitoring to identify irregular loads or disturbances. The Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 includes five voltage inputs and four current inputs, allowing simultaneous measurement across complex systems. Because of this capability, engineers can analyse several parameters at the same time while maintaining accurate readings.
Advanced power quality monitoring
Understanding system behaviour requires more than simple voltage and current measurements. The Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 records harmonics, transients, energy values, and flicker events to help identify disturbances. In addition, the analyser measures power factors, apparent power, and reactive power, giving a full picture of electrical performance.
Designed for field diagnostics
Portable equipment must be easy to use during long inspection sessions. A large colour TFT display presents waveforms, measurements, and graphs clearly during testing. The Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 Qualistar+ Power Analyser also supports peak detection and True Inrush capture to help diagnose switching events or unusual loads.
Long recording sessions require reliable data storage and battery performance. Internal memory stores measurement results over extended monitoring periods, while USB communication allows easy transfer to analysis software. As a result, the Chauvin Arnoux CA8336 becomes a practical solution for energy audits, troubleshooting, and installation validation.
