The PowerPad® is a hand-held three-phase power and power quality meter with a large easy-to-read graphical color display. Measurements are displayed numerically and graphically with colored waveforms. The meter is menu driven with pop-up functions that are activated at the push of a button. All necessary measurements are available for a comprehensive power system check or analysis to 830Vrms; 6500Arms with a complete family of clamp-on and flexible probes. The PowerPad® has a logging function, a transient capture function, an event capture function, an optical RS-232 and an advanced software (DataView®), which can pilot the PowerPad® and provide comprehensive reports.
