Three-phase volt-ampere phase meter VFM-3

Three-phase volt-ampere phase meter VFM-3

Volt-ampere phase meter VFM-3 is designed for simultaneous measurement of effective value of three phase and three phase-to-phase voltages, value of the strength of three alternating currents with simultaneous calculation of real, reactive, apparent power in the circuit, measurement of frequency and phase-shift angle between phase and phase-to-phase voltages, between currents and voltages, as well as for displaying a vector diagram of the voltages and currents in three-phase systems.

The device has a built-in function of an electrical energy meter.

The device can be used for complex tests of generators protection, transformers, electric lines, in current and voltage transformer circuits, in setting up phase-sensitive relay protection schemes, for checking whether electrical energy meters are connected correctly.

Описание

Measurements:

  • Uactive three-phase and three phase-to-phase voltages, V;
  • I in 3 circuits, A;
  • P (W), Q (VAR), S (VA) power factors;
  • ƒ, Hz;
  • φ between Uf и Ul;
  • φ between I and U.

Distinctive features:

  • The most compact and the lightest (0,3 kg) of all modern 3-phase volt-ampere and phase meters;
  • All main results of measurements are shown simultaneously on 4.3” color display and vector diagram is also displayed;
  • The device makes it possible to check whether one-phase and three-phase electric energy meters are connected correctly and there is no unauthorized tampering with their operation, owing to the function of electric energy calculation;
  • The device measures AC in range 0…30 A without break in circuit. Absolute error does not exceed ±1 mA in the range of 0…50 mA;
  • The device measures phase-shift between voltage and current, when the current is less than 50 mA. Absolute error at the current from 50 mA and more is within the range of ±1 degree, at the current of 15 mA it is not more than ±3 degree;
  • The wires can be plugged into the measuring unit when the device is carried in the bag. To switch on the device it is not needed to plug in the wires, you should just open the bag.
