The 8333 meets IEC 61000-4-30 Class B standards, providing precise and consistent measurements across a wide range of parameters. Whether you’re managing loads, investigating harmonics, detecting transients, or logging energy usage over time, the AEMC 8333 offers a feature-rich platform for high-quality diagnostics and reporting.

Key Features and Functional Highlights

IEC 61000-4-30 Class B Compliant

Certified for Class B accuracy, the AEMC 8333 provides high-confidence data that is ideal for general power quality studies, energy audits, and preventative maintenance. It’s perfect for facilities that don’t require regulatory-grade precision but still need detailed and reliable analysis.

Real-Time 4-Channel Monitoring

Simultaneously monitors:

  • Four voltage channels (L1, L2, L3, N)
  • Three current channels
  • Neutral current calculated and displayed This enables complete analysis of three-phase systems, including imbalances, neutral currents, and phase relationships, supporting both wye and delta configurations.

Comprehensive Power and Energy Measurements

Capture a wide range of power quality metrics including:

  • True RMS Voltage and Current
  • Frequency
  • Active, Reactive, and Apparent Power
  • Energy Consumption (kWh, kVARh, kVAh)
  • Power Factor and Displacement Power Factor (DPF)
  • Unbalance and Flicker
  • Demand (Sliding Window and Fixed Window)

Advanced Harmonic Analysis

  • Measures voltage and current harmonics up to the 50th order
  • Calculates THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and individual harmonic magnitudes
  • Identifies harmonic-related power losses, transformer heating, and equipment malfunction issues

Voltage Events Detection

Detect and record:

  • Sags (dips)
  • Swells
  • Interruptions
  • Ideal for identifying power disturbance sources that impact equipment operation

Inrush Current Capture

Capture inrush currents with high accuracy to evaluate motor startup profiles, circuit breaker tripping, and transient loading effects.

User Interface and Data Handling

✅ Large Colour Graphical Display

Equipped with a bright, backlit ¼ VGA colour display, the AEMC 8333 provides real-time waveform viewing, phasor diagrams, and harmonic spectrums for quick, on-site diagnostics.

✅ Extensive Data Logging and Storage

  • Built-in memory stores months of data
  • Configurable logging intervals (from seconds to hours)
  • Ideal for long-term monitoring and trend analysis

✅ Flexible Communication Options

  • USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity for fast and convenient data transfer
  • Compatible with AEMC’s DataView® software for in-depth data analysis, report generation, and real-time viewing
