PA900 Precision Multi-Channel Harmonic Power Analyzer

Introducing the new Vitrek PA900 Precision Harmonic Power Analyzer, a refreshingly easy-to-use high performance power analyzer that won’t break your budget. The PA900 delivers multi-channel, high-accuracy, wideband performance – to tackle the toughest energy measurement applications. Trust Vitrek to deliver world class power measurement capability at a price that is surprisingly affordable.

The Vitrek PA900 Harmonic Power Analyzer:
Precision + Ease of Use = Affordability

PA900-tech

The new Vitrek PA900 boasts an impressive array of precision power measurement capabilities, yet its color touchscreen user interface is refreshingly easy to use. The accuracy of the PA900 is truly world class – surpassing rival instruments costing triple the price. And when it comes to speed & bandwidth – the PA900 tops the charts with 100 full precision readings per second and measurement bandwidths sufficient to handle 5 MHZ waveforms. For tackling tough power factor, low phase angle and high crest factor loads – the PA900 is unbeatable. Offering full performance for crest factors as high as 30:1 – the PA900 places the advantage of superior power measurement capability squarely in the palm of your hands or if you prefer – at the tip of your finger.

The Best Solution for the Toughest Power Measurement Applications

Energy is one of our most precious resources. Design engineers are under constant pressure to increase efficiency and reduce excess product power consumption down to the last mW. Challenging programs like LED and HID lighting, solar panel energy output, efficiency testing on inverters and PWM motor drive systems on electric vehicles – all require fast, precise, reliable power measurement. The unequalled performance of the Vitrek PA900 gives you the competitive advantage – the ability to accurately capture the waveforms and power data you need to squeeze the last drop of extra energy out of your project.

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 chassis holds up to 4 Channels of power measurement in any combination of three 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 1.25 MHz.
  • The A type ultra-precision Channel card offers a 2 year accuracy rating of 0.03% of reading and bandwidth up to 1.25 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

And speaking of flexibility, each of the above Channel cards is available with your choice of 3 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. Vitrek makes it easy for you to configure a harmonic power analyzer that is perfect for your application.
