Single and Three phase Power Analysers Model 4106A Series

Introduction

Tinsley offer two state of the art high performance power analysers, single and three phase. Unlike other instruments at this price level the 4106A is designed to cope with the extreme signals generated on frequency inverter drives. You don't have to worry about the signal wave forms. The analysers will always provide precise and reliable measurements. The large and very bright monitor lets you read the display values from a distance of up to 4m.

Simple to use

The 4106A can be used for something as simple as measuring the power requirement of your coffee machine to a task as complex as determining the pertinent power parameters of a frequency inverter driven system.
All values are displayed in large characters, easily readable even in darkened environments. The user menu makes operation easy. The measured values can either be printed, sent to a PC via IEEE- or RS232 interface, or to a chart recorder via the analog outputs. You can have all available options installed or just the ones you require.

Extraordinary features, attractive display

Much effort has been put into the design of the 4106A Power Analysers to give you the highest performance at low cost. The analyser inputs are all galvanically isolated, are broad band DC-300kHz, have a wide input range (0.3V - 1000V, 15mA - 40A) and have an exceptional common mode rejection for use in frequency inverter driven systems. The accuracy is 0.1% (0.05% versions are available). The bright LCD monitor displays up to 10 measured values in highly legible 9mm high numbers.

The Three Phase Power Analyser puts up to 32 measured values on the screen. You have the choice to display wave forms, bar graphs or trend plots. A unique feature of these instruments allows a combination of meter mode and graphic mode.

Designed to last

With future development and as features are added to the 4106A you will be able to obtain upgrades, at modest cost, through your local Tinsley distributor. The Power Analysers are warranted for one year and are supplied with a traceable calibration certificate.
