Principal parameters measured:

● TRMS AC+DC voltage: single voltage

up to 480 V; phase-phase voltage up to 600 V.

● TRMS AC, AC+DC current up to 3000 A

(according to sensors used).

● Peak voltage and current.

● Frequency from 40 to 70 Hz.

● Active, reactive and apparent power per phase

and their aggregate.

● Active, reactive, consumed and produced energy.

● Harmonics for voltage, current, or power up

to the 50thorder.

Principal values computed:

● Neutral current.

● Crest factors for current and voltage.

● K factors for current (transformer application).

● Power factor, displacement factor and tangent.

● Short-term voltage flicker.

● Voltage and current unbalance.

● Total harmonic distortion.

● Average, min and max values

of any computed value.

Regardless of the screen, the synergy
between the display and the keyboard
is very efficient.

Additional functions:

● Graphic data processing.

● Alarms, transients.

● Recording, dating and characteristics of

disturbances (swells, dips and interruptions, etc.)

● Data storage.

● Immediate screen printout to printer.

● Screen storage.

● Optical link communication.

Designed for Electrical Energy departments and Maintenance
services in industrial and administrative buildings, the Qualistar
C.A 8332 and C.A 8334 give an instantaneous image of the main
characteristics of the quality of your electrical network.
These instruments also provide numerous calculated values
and processing functions in compliance with standards in use
(EN 50160, IEC 61000-4-15, IEC 61000-4-30, IEC 61000-4-7).

FUNCTIONS

Global THD and phase by phase in U, I,
V, VA in %, RMS value and harmonics
phase shift.
Only the C.A 8334 model offers the
harmonics function in VA and the
“expert mode”. This mode provides an
analysis of harmonics influence on
neutral heating or rotating machines.

Power / Energy Mode

"Diagnosis" stage:

Harmonics Mode

Very structured display modes
for 3 distinct stages

"Observation" stage:

In this mode, three types of representations are possible: graphic, table, vectoral.
RMS measurements in U and I. PEAK, MIN, MAX, AVG, KF, Pst, CF, phase shift, unbalance measurements…

This mode displays all of the values
relative to the power and energy.
The Start and Stop keys activate
and deactivate the aggregate of
energies.
Measurements for:

W, V ar, VA
Wh, Warh, VAh
PF, DPF or cos ϕ and tan ϕ

With the
around-the-neck
holder, making
measurements
is easy: operating
the instrument and
reading the displays
at the same time.

All desired parameters are saved
with their visual graphics during
a recording.
Note that a bargraph located
at the top of the window gives
the total recording period,
programmable recording period
and storing rate.

The transient mode captures
changes of the voltage and current
with triggers on thresholds.
Representation over 4 periods
of the captured event at 256 counts
/ period, also available with zoom.

"Monitoring" stage:

Alarms Mode

The simplicity of the
instrument's set-up is
enhanced by the use of
graphic representations:
type of clamp, connection,
color of phases, parameters
to record…

Qualistar can be connected
directly to a printer for
immediate screen printing.

If needed, the help key
explains functions in
relation to the viewed
screen in simple terms.

Press this key to make
a copy of the screen.
Storing the viewed screen
is automatic with date
and time recording.
Up to 12 screen
recordings (C.A 8334).
