Chauvin Arnoux CA8345 Class-A Power Quality Analyser Contractor Kit KCA8345MA194C

The Qualistar 8345 power analyser is well-designed to run real-time diagnostics during electrical installations, audit electricity consumption and carry out long-term logging of electrical parameters. Compliant with IEC 61000-4-30 class A standard our quality analyser is easy to use and comes with in-built extensive communication options – further delivering exceptional flexibility. Suitable for use on all types of single and three-phase systems up to 1,000 V

Contractors Kit:

The CA 8345 is the first in a new generation of Qualistar power quality analysers from Chauvin Arnoux. It represents a step-change in the levels of connectivity and features on offer, while still maintaining the same simplicity of use familiar to existing Qualistar users.
The CA8345 kit offers not only the top-of-the-range CA8345 Class A power quality analyser, but all of the current sensors, leads and software that you need to get started, these all come in a rugged wheeled hard case to keep everything safe on-site.
You also get access to Chauvin Arnoux’s unrivalled technical support and a huge range of video guides and articles to get you up and running in no time

CA 8345 Comes Supplied With:

• Safety datasheet
• 5 reeling boxes
• Shoulder bag
• USB A/B cable 1.80 m long
• Multilingual Quick Start Guide
• Set of 5 banana leads and crocodile clips
• Set of identification inserts and rings
• Verification certificate
• Removable wrist strap

The CA 8345 is a Class A Qualistar power and energy quality analyser.
Like the Qualistar+ models, it is equipped with an intuitive HMI and remains simple to use. Multilingual online help can be displayed at any time on the large colour LCD touchscreen.
Easy to handle, it is intended for inspection and maintenance teams working on industrial or tertiary installations. It can be used to obtain a snapshot of the electrical network's main quality features. The Qualistar model can be used on all types of installations.
For greater safety, the CA 8345 automatically recognizes the type of current sensor connected.
The CA 8345 ensures high measurement accuracy. It provides a large number of calculated values and several processing functions. It offers users all the measurements needed to successfully handle energy efficiency projects and monitor the electrical distribution network. By calculating the cost of the electricity, you can immediately determine the value of the electricity consumed.

It can display the harmonics and interharmonics as stipulated by IEC 61000-4-7.
At the same time, it detects the carrier currents flowing on the installation.

The CA 8345 monitors all the events on the network:

• Trend diagram, variations of the signal parameters
• Parameterizable alarms, with the possibility of sending an email alert to the user
• 2.5 µs transients
• 12 kV shockwaves lasting 500 ns
• TrueInrush to capture all the load start-ups….

A Monitoring mode can be used to record the measurement campaigns required for analysis as per EN50160.

Communication

In addition to the SD and USB drive, it is also possible to recover the measurements and communicate with the CA 8345 remotely. USB, remote links, Wifi (direct or via server) or via RJ45. An IRD Server mode allows extraction of the data from anywhere in the world without endangering internet security.

The Power Analyzer Transfer software can be used to process the measurements made with the Qualistar Class A.
The PAT3 software can be downloaded from our Support website.
