Product Details
AC2000 POWER,
HARMONICS AND FLICKER ANALYSER
- High speed and high accuracy power measurements
- Compliance quality harmonics analysis to EN61000-3-2
- Compliance quality flicker measurement to EN61000-3-3
Overview
The AC2000 is a fast, easy to use mains and harmonics analyser with full graphical display. It is capable of continuous real-time analysis of both voltage and current.As a general purpose mains analyser it can measure Watts, VA Vrms, Vpk, Arms, Apk, Crest factors, THD, Power factor, Frequency and Inrush current.
As a harmonics analyser it is a quick and convenient instrument for pre-compliance measurements using normal mains supply and is capable of full compliance measurements to EN61000-3-2 in conjunction with a suitable power source.
Capabilities include real-time Class D evaluation and visual display, continuous automatic calculation of harmonic limits to EN61000-3-2, inrush current analysis, and timed test sequences with analysis of fluctuating harmonics.
As an option, the AC2000 can be operated as a conformance quality flicker meter in conformance with EN60868 and EN61000-3-3.
A printer interface is included for record keeping and archiving, along with an RS-232 interface and an optional IEEE-488 interface for use with PC based software or as part of a GPIB system.
High performance power analyser
The AC2000 is a high speed, high accuracy ac power analyser for single phase supplies of up to 16 amps RMS.
The supply to be measured is connected via a dedicated input cable independently of the supply to the instrument.
The output to the load is via a front panel mounted standard’ mains connector. A wide range of power connectors is available including most European national types.The AC2000 can measure Watts, VA, Volts rms, Volts peak, Amps rms, Amps peak, Crest factors, THD, Power factor, Frequency and Inrush current.
The large display can show multiple parameters simultaneously along with graphical representations of voltage and current waveforms.
Compliance-quality harmonics analyser
From 1st January 2001 all electrical equipment sold within the EEC will have to comply with legislation relating to the harmonics content of the current waveform.
The AC2000 has been designed to make these measurements both quick and simple. It measures harmonics from the 1st to the 40th and updates the display in real time.
It is suitable for pre-compliance measurements using a normal mains supply and is capable of full compliance measurements to EN61000-3-2 in conjunction with a suitable power source (such as the AC1000 ).
Capabilities include real-time Class D evaluation and visual display, continuous automatic calculation of harmonic limits to EN61000-3-2, inrush current analysis, and timed test sequences with analysis of fluctuating harmonics.
Compliance-quality flicker meter
The AC2000 has the optional capability to operate as a compliance quality flicker meter in conformance with EN60868 and EN61000-3-3.
A current measurement method can be used rather than voltage measurement thus eliminating the need for a reference impedance.
Flicker severity can be measured in terms of P st and P lt with analysis periods variable between 5 minutes and 2 hours.
The graphical display can show Cumulative Probability, Voltage Deviation Failure as well as P st values.
A full range of interfaces
A printer interface is included for record keeping and archiving, along with RS-232 (standard) and IEEE-488 (optional) interfaces for use with PC based software or as part of a GPIB system.
Software is also available that enables results to be displayed, recorded and documented using a PC.
