Atec 2503AH User Manual

The 2503AH analyzers measure power, voltage,
current and frequency up to 500 kHz with premier
precision. Available parameters include V,A,W,
Power Factor, Crest Factor, K Factor, THD, Harmonics,
Phase, VA, VAR, W.Hr, Triplens, Impedance, Inrush,
Mean-Peak Values, Efficiency-Loss, etc.

Xitron power analysis instruments have set the
standard for production testing. Independent
channel control and unparalleled flexibility and
speed have made the 2503AH-3CH the instrument
of choice in 3-phase power analysis. The 2503AH­1CH/2CH offers cost effective solutions for single or
two-phase applications such as power supply
and appliance testing.
