Energy monitoring with PCE-PA 6500 – Efficient energy use through smart measuring technology

The new PCE-PA 6500 power meter from PCE Instruments provides companies and technicians with a state-of-the-art tool for accurately measuring current and voltage values. Thanks to its compact design and innovative features, the device is ideal for energy monitoring in a wide range of applications – from main and sub-distribution boards to devices and systems.

The power analyser measures current and voltage values via Rogowski coils or split-core current transformers without interrupting the power supply. The recorded values – including active, apparent, and reactive power – are transmitted to an end device at one-second intervals via WLAN. Historical storage and graphical or tabular evaluation of the data are possible, as is export in CSV format.

The device can be configured and interacted with conveniently via WLAN and a web browser or via the specially developed app (BLE) for Android. This means that users can access the recorded data anytime, anywhere.

Even if there is no internet connection, no data is lost. The integrated 32 GB memory enables the storage of measured values in the form of CSV files. These can be processed later or transferred via e-mail, FTP or directly via the measuring platform.

The device meets the highest safety standards (CAT III 300V) and is equipped with a robust magnetic back that allows flexible attachment to metallic surfaces.

The power analyser offers a range of technical highlights, including a measuring range for alternating voltage of 40 to 400 V, for alternating current of 2 to 9500 A and for active power of 80 W to 3800 kW. The integrated 32 GB memory enables data to be recorded at one-second intervals for more than a year. No additional power supply is required for operation, as measurement is carried out via magnetic measuring tips or connection terminals. With a compact design of 123 x 96 x 36 mm and a weight of just 202 g, the device is easy to handle. It also meets the IP40 protection class, making it ideal for a range of applications.

The power analyser is available in three versions, which differ in the current transformer used and the measuring ranges: The version with a folding current transformer (PCE-PA 6500-R11) has an inner diameter of 11 mm and is suitable for measuring ranges up to 80 A AC. The variants with Rogowski coils are available in two sizes: with an inner diameter of 50 mm (PCE-PA 6500-F50) for measuring ranges up to 20,000 A AC and with an inner diameter of 150 mm (PCE-PA 6500-F150) for measuring ranges up to 9500 A AC.

The new power analyser provides a reliable and innovative solution for accurately monitoring and sustainably improving energy consumption and efficiency. An indispensable tool for anyone who wants to optimize their energy costs and protect the environment.
