PA4000 – Tektronix

Product Description

Item #: PA4000

Manufacturer: Tektronix
Series: Power Analyzer

PA4000 by Tektronix is a Power Analyzer in the Power Analyzer series. PA4000 features 1 to 4 Input Modules and a Sample rate of 1 Megasample/second.

The Tektronix PA4000 Power Analyzer can be used in a variety of applications, such as: standby power, power conversion, consumer electronics, power generation, motor drives, high-efficiency lighting, UPS, electrical propulsion, frequency converters, and electric and hybrid vehicles. The PA4000 can have 1 to 4 input modules, which enables multiple configurations to match the user’s application. There is a high measurement accuracy of 0.01% (basic voltage and current accuracy) for challenging testing stipulations. There are also test modes that are designated for certain applications, which makes instrument setup go more smoothly and decreases the chance of user mistakes. This power analyzer is equipped with numerous standard features, including harmonic analysis and comm ports. Normally, these features would be expensive to add, so overall cost is reduced with this power analyzer.

Every module has dual interior current shunts to optimize preciseness for high-current and low-current measurements. The 30-Amp shunt is ideal for numerous applications and can accept up to 200 A peak, but the 1 A shunt is better for measuring low-current devices. The PA4000 Power Analyzer is equipped with Spiral Shunt technology. The Spiral Shunt design guarantees a steady, linear response throughout a variety of input current levels, crest factors, ambient temperatures, and various other factors. The Spiral Shunt design ensures that the PA4000 Power Analyzer is dependable, accurate, and can perform repeatable results throughout a variety of signal conditions typical in modern power conversion technologies. The Spiral Shunt design also reduces stray inductance and delivers for high overload capability and enhanced thermal steadiness.
