New High-Precision C, L & tan Measuring Bridge

Wednesday, Jun 30, 2010

The Dielectric-Loss Analyzing System 2840 is designed for measurement of very low dielectric losses and impedances (Dissipation Factor and Power Factor) of high-voltage apparatus (e.g. extruded insulation on power cables).

The instrument works on the principle of a combined bridge-vector-meter and is capable of analyzing capacitive and inductive loads – especially shunt reactors – with outstanding accuracy (capacitance 0.02%, tan d1x10^-5) and stability.

The Graphical User Interface of the instrument is highly intuitive, is focussed on convenience with built-in useful programs and uses a large colour touch screen as the input device.

While the manual mode provides quick measurements, the automatic test mode supports complete automated test sequences.

Advanced software functionalities such as insulation temperature correction, programmable test sequences with pass/fail limits, graphical visualisation of measured data, etc. make this instrument a powerful tool for analysis of high-voltage equipment.

The instrument incorporates standard interfaces (e.g. USB) which enable easy exchange of measurement results, related settings, etc. for further analysis or reporting.
