RS PRO IPM3600 Power Quality Tester
RS PRO IPM3600 is a great value 3-phase power analyser for portable measurement and diagnosing power problems in electrical installations and power circuits within public mains supplies. The software allows the power analyser to: communicate with a PC via the USB port; upload data from the tester and store to the PC hard disk; display recorded reading in a graphical format on the PC; convert the recorded data into Excel format for analysis; display signal harmonics in graphical format on the PC; clear the data readings stored in the tester.
Problems that can occur due to power quality problems include automatic resets, data errors, equipment failures, memory loss and overheating electrical distribution systems. These problems in workplaces have a negative impact on production, can damage sensitive equipment and increase costs. Bad power quality can also increase energy consumption.
