Chauvin Arnoux QualiSTAR CA8334B

The Chauvin Arnoux QualiSTAR CA8334B is a three-phase network and energy analyser for electrical grids and transients and is designed for inspection and maintenance teams in industrial and administrative buildings. The QualiSTAR CA8334B enables the user to obtain an instant snapshot of the main characteristics of electrical network quality. The CA 8334 offers intuitive operation with direct access buttons to the main functions and measurements. This makes the Chauvin Arnoux power analyser extremely straightforward to use with simultaneous operation of all five of the instrument's modes (recording, alarm, measurement, power and harmonics). The Chauvin Arnoux Quali Star 8334 measures voltage, current, energy, reactive power values, harmonics (including triplen harmonics), flicker, power consumption, three-phase grid unbalance and transients with the capacity to record and monitor data.

The Qualistar CA 8334B is a fantastic single phase and three phase analyser that offers real-time displays of the various waveforms on a wide VGA colour screen. To setup the device users enter general parameters directly and then select the type of network that the Qualistar is connected to. The colour-coded sensors connected are recognised automatically. A direct access button on the front of the Qualistar CA8334 allows screenshots to be taken at all times and automatically saved with a time & date stamping.

Global Total Harmonic Distortion and THD phase by phase shift of harmonics up to the 50th order can be calculated and the Chauvin Arnoux CA 8334B has an expert mode that can be used to analyse the influence of harmonics on heating of the neutral or rotating machines. In the power and energy modes the CA Qualistar 8334B displays all values concerning power and energy including W, Var, VA, Wh, Warh, VAh, Power Factor and Displacement Power Factor. The start and stop keys can be used to activate and deactivate totalising of the energies.

The transient mode of the CA power quality tester can be used to capture events on the voltage and current triggered according to thresholds. It can capture upto 50 transients per sample (1/256th of a period). The CA 8334B has user defined alarms which every time a threshold is overrun the Quali Star will time & date stamp the event, record its duration and save it with a graphic display of all the parameters. The CA 8334B power analyser has a USB connection so that data can be processed on a PC using optional QualiSTAR View or Data Viewer Pro software.
