PCE-PA 6000 power meter
power meter with RS-232 interface and software to analyse power consumption

The PCE-PA 6000 power meter is a tabletop device for measuring effective power, apparent power, power factor, energy consumption, current, continuous voltage, resistance and frequency. The power meter also offers the possibility to connect industrial current converters with a transmission relation of 100/5A or 1000/5A. Its large 93 x 52mm LCD is easy to read and provides a variety of results, including Watts, cos φ, ACV and ACA. With the optional PCE-PA ADP current adaptor with ground wire (up to 16ACA) it can safely and quickly measure and analyse with the help of the power meter. Measurement of current and power can be done directly with test cables that come with the device or indirectly using the clamps. The device has an RS-232 interface, and software to analyse results and transfer data to a computer. This makes it the ideal device for any workshop or for measuring power to determine faults in devices. This link shows an overview listing each power meter we have available to suit your needs

Examples of use

In the following image there is a PCE-PA 6000 being used to repair a computer. Using the current adaptor, it can quickly take measure-ments of consumption and measurements of power without the need to use too many cables.

Here is an image of the power meter's large LCD that can show four different readings simultaneously. The display mode depends on the function setting.
It can also show readings taken by the current adaptor. It just needs to be connected to the device with the grounding wire of the adaptor.

In this instance, the device is being used to test the thermal value of an electronic thermal ventilator once repaired with our PCE-PA 6000 power meter. The usefulness of the current adaptor can be appreciated here, and it is easy to attach safely without the mess of external cables. With the power meter, tests can be done easily, safely and accurately an all types of small electrical appliances up to 16A, including high consumer electronics.

Definitions:

When measuring power in continuous voltage lines, power is easily calculated using the formula P=U * I, with "U" being the product of electrical energy and "I" being the electrical current. If it gives a phase angle between current and voltage in alternate currents (alternate voltage of 50Hz), should be taken into account at the time of measuring effective power.
The power meter shows a running line and of voltage to measure the electrical capacity in combined form. The parameter shown as "P" (effective power) corresponds to the product of both magnitudes shown previously.
In practice there are 3 different types of power:
-Apparent power S measured in VA
-Effective power (and continuous power) P measured in W (Watt)
-Reactive power Q measured in VAR (Volt-Ampere-Reactive)
