Key Features of the AEMC 8345 PowerPad IV

Full IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Compliance (Edition 3)
Guarantees highly accurate, reproducible, and standardised power quality measurements for professional analysis, reporting, and compliance verification.

Built-in GPS Time Synchronisation
Automatically aligns recorded data with global time standards for precise event correlation and report generation—especially critical in multi-site studies.

Simultaneous Multi-Parameter Data Logging
Records all parameters without compromise, including voltage, current, frequency, harmonics, transients, inrush, and more—with 1ms time stamping.

High-Speed Transient Detection
Captures waveform anomalies with an extremely fast sample rate for pinpointing events like surges, impulses, or switching noise.

Harmonics and Interharmonics (up to 127th order)
Advanced spectral analysis with THD, individual harmonic magnitudes, and phase angles helps diagnose distortion and resonance issues.

5 Voltage & 4 Current Channels
Supports single-phase, split-phase, and 3-phase (wye or delta) systems with full four current input monitoring for complete electrical network analysis.

Large 7” Colour Touchscreen Display
Intuitive interface with real-time waveforms, phasor diagrams, and visual alerts for threshold exceedance or anomaly detection.

Internal Memory + Removable SD Card
Massive logging capacity suitable for extended monitoring campaigns without data loss or compression.

Flexible Sensor Compatibility
Works with a wide range of current sensors including AC, DC, and Rogowski coils to suit different measurement environments and conductor sizes.

Remote Configuration and Download via DataView® Software
Powerful software suite for in-depth analysis, customised reporting, and remote control over Ethernet or USB.
