Model 931A Power System Analyzer Specifications

 
 
Input
     

Basic Inputs & Measurements:
The Arbiter Systems® Model 931A Power System Analyzer has two main measurement channels, Channel 1 and Channel 2. Any voltage or current input signal may be selected for either channel. For basic measurements (voltage, current, frequency, phase angle) any combination of inputs may be used. For power and energy measurements (active power, apparent power, reactive power and power factor), one voltage and one current must be selected. For three-phase measurements, the input configuration is selected automatically, based on the measurement type (for example, 3-phase 4-wire 3-element).
