PCE PA6000 Desktop Power Meter Multimeter - PCE-PA6000

PCE PA6000 Desktop Power Meter Multimeter - PCE-PA6000

The PCE PA6000 Desktop Power Meter Multimeter is a versatile tabletop device designed to measure effective power, apparent power, power factor, energy consumption, current, continuous voltage, resistance, and frequency. It also supports the connection of industrial current converters with a transmission ratio of 100/5A or 1000/5A. Featuring a large 93 x 52mm LCD, it displays a wide range of results, including Watts, cos φ, ACV, and ACA, making it easy to read. With the optional PCE-PA ADP current adapter (with ground wire, up to 10ACA), it enables safe and efficient measurements. Current and power can be measured directly using the included test cables or indirectly with clamps. The device includes an RS-232 interface and software* for data analysis and transfer to a computer, making it an ideal tool for workshops or for diagnosing power-related faults in devices.
