The Chauvin Arnoux CA 8230 single-phase or balanced three-phase power analyser is easy to use. Equipped with direct access to its various functions, the CA 8230 provides all measurements needed for a comprehensive diagnostic of power and energy in an electrical installation. The instrument displays and records up to 17 different power quality parameters which allows the user to measure and qualify electrical network harmonics. There is also an inrush mode for starter current that shows a detailed waveform during the first few seconds of powering up. Designed with direct access buttons this allows simple operation of the power analyser's various functions and the unit will automatically recognise the type of sensor it is connected to.
