1. INTRODUCTION
The C.A 8230 is a category III (IEC 1010) 600V
single-phase AC+DC power quality analyser with
graphic display. It measures the RMS values,
powers, and disturbances of electricity distribution
networks and can be used for a snapshot of the
main characteristics of a network and to track
variations of the different parameters over time.
It is compact and impact-resistant, and its ergonomy
and simple interface make using it pleasant and
intuitive.
The C.A 8230 can be used not only for a snapshot
of the main characteristics of a network, but also to
track their variations over time. The multitasking
measurement system simultaneously performs all
functions required for the measurement of the
various quantities, detection, continuous recording,
and display without constraint. And it provides great
flexibility in the choice of sensors, for measurements
from a few hundred milliamperes (MN93A) to
several kiloamperes (AmpFLEX).
The C.A 8230 is intended for the technicians and
engineers of inspection and maintenance teams of
industrial companies and government agencies at
the yellow rate (36 to 250kVA) and green rate (>
250kW), for checking and diagnostic measurements
on single- or three-phase low-voltage networks.
The main measurements performed are:
Measurement of RMS AC voltage up to 600 V
(phase-neutral) and 660 V (phase-phase) -
provided that 600 V between phase and earth is
not exceeded.
Measurement of RMS AC current up to 6,500 A
RMS.
Measurement of network frequency from 40 Hz
to 69 Hz.
Calculation of the peak factor for the current and
the voltage.
Calculation of the K factor for the current
(transformers).
Calculation of the short-term Flicker for the
voltage.
Measurement of the angles of harmonics, up to
order 50, and of their levels (with respect to the
fundamental) in voltage, current, or power.
Calculation of the global level of harmonic
distortion.
Measurement of active, reactive, and apparent
power, by phase and total.
Calculation of the power factor, displacement
factor, and tangent.
Totalling of the energy generated and consumed
starting from a time chosen by the operator.
Tracking of the mean value of any parameter
whatever, calculated over a period of from 1
second to 15 minutes. Storage of the values for
a duration limited only by the memory of the
instrument.
Recording, timestamping, and characterisation
of disturbances: voltage overloads, brown- and
blackouts, overshooting of powers, harmonic
thresholds, etc.
