CAPE Mimics ENERTEQ™ is one of the best handheld 3-phase alternatives for power network analysis; not just for its functionality but also because of the price. Robust, reliable and user friendly are other key factors.
It is used on distribution boards to measure voltage and current in order to determine the power consumption at a factory or elsewhere. (Other electrical connections such as frequency can also be measured and all in real time). The design of the Rogowski coils makes for easy cable clamping inside distribution boards in addition to other characteristics.
The data information is used to establish new network applications. For example, to switch from electrical power to solar power, first test the electrical connection at that site to establish how much current is passing through it (including voltage and other electrical factors) so as to determine which solar kit is the right one for that site.
As most of the functions on the ME435 are already pre-programed, it is easy to work with and to obtain the data. Simply connect the current transformers and voltage clamps, switch the power logging meter on and the device logs the data straight onto the internal SD card. (Logging intervals can be manually programmed).
In fact, the device’s substantial increase in popularity has led to it being available for hire as well as for purchase, as many end users who do electrical testing, use it once-off on one or multiple sites and returning it after use.
The kit contains: 4 x voltage wires, 1 x power adaptor, 1 x 1GB SD card, a robust case, 3 x 600A Rogowski coils, 1 x power meter and 1 x USB-to-SD adaptor.
