The PowerPad® III Model 8436 is a three-phase power quality analyzer that is easy-to-use, compact and shock resistant. It enables technicians and engineers to measure and carry out diagnostics and power quality work on one-, two- or three- phase networks. Five voltage and four current inputs are provided. It is IEC 61000-4-30 Class B and safety rated to 600V CAT IV. It is rated IP67 when used with the flexible sensor Ampflex® 196A.
The Model 8436 can record 2GB of trend data on a memory card. Additional internal memory is used to let you store alarms, transients, and snapshot data. The user can store up to 50 screen snapshots, up to 210 captured transients that contain four cycles for each active input, and >16,000 alarm events from up to 40 different parameters. Trend data can also be recorded for days, weeks, or even months. Inrush current can also be captured and stored.
IMPORTANT WARRANTY NOTE: By registering online within 30 days from the date of purchase, your warranty will be extended to 3 years.
