PKT-2510 Power Analyzer
Power Analyzer with RS232 interface / universal application / 
evaluation software for power analysis of appliances

The power analyzer PKT-2510 is designed as a tabletop unit or a portable device to measure effective power, apparent power, efficiency factor, alternating voltage, alternating current, direct current, DC voltage, resistance and frequency. The current- / power measurement can be either performed by means of the test lead, included in delivery, or directly via current probes. The analyzer furthermore provides the possibility of connecting industrial current converters with a converting ratio of 100/5 A or 1000/5 A. The large, clearly-legible LCD display with 93 x 52 mm, indicates several measurement results simultaneously, e.g. Watt, cos φ, ACV, ACA. Due to the optional power adapter PCE-PA-ADP, appliances with schuko plugs (up to 10 ACA) can be easily connected and measured in order to analyze them via the power analyzer. The power analyzer PKT-2510 is equipped with a RS232 data interface, and by means of the analysis software the data can be transferred to a computer, in order to be processed and stored. Thus the power analyzer is the ideal device for an application in workshops or for power analysis and error searches at appliances on-site.

Examples of application

In the picture at the right the power analyzer PKT-2510 is shown during operation in areas of computer repairs. Due to the application of the power adapters, the current consumption and power measurement can be performed without extent wiring, quickly and safe from contact voltages.

Here you can see the large and informative LCD display of the power analyzer. A maximum of four indices can be shown simultaneously. The way of indication changes depending on the function mode. Furthermore the optionally purchasable Power Adapter shown clearly. Simply plug the adapter to the jack and connect the appliances via the schuko plug with the power adapter.

At this application the heating power of an electric fan heater is shown after successful repair is checked by means of the power analyzer PKT-2510. Even here the power adapter proves itself helpful. Easy montage with highest safety, none blanc cable ends as mostly common. With the power analyzer all electrical devices up to 10 A can be directly, very accurately and easily checked, as well as large-scale consumers (with current probe and current transformer).

Principle of Power analysis

Definitions and facts worth knowing:
During Power analysis in DC circuits, the power is calculated definitely by the formula: P=U * I, i.e. the product of the electrical voltage U and electrical current I. If an instantaneous phase between current and voltage appears during the measurement of alternating voltages (e.g. circuit voltage 50 Hz), the effective power P must be considered. For a combined measurement of electrical power therefore a power analyzer provides a current- and a voltage- path. The indicator P (real power) equals as mentioned above the product of both factors. 
In practice there are three types of power to distinguish:
- Apparent power S measured in VA
- Real power (and equal power) P measured in W (watt)
- Reactive power Q measured in VAR (volt-ampere-reactive)
