PPA3500 – Motor/Inverter Analysis, Renewable Energy
 
High Performance 6 Phase Power Analysis
The PPA3500 is a high accuracy 3~6(7) phase power analyzer able to perform reliable, accurate power analysis in a variety of applications. As a result of innovative analog card design, the PPA3500 is packaged in a compact 2U chassis. The PPA3500 is available in 3, 4, 5 or 6 phase configurations as well as a computed 7th phase. There is also the option to install the unit in a 19in rack providing a 2U 6(7) Phase solution, see our accessories page for more details. The PPA3500 power analyzer benefits from a full color “Dual” TFT display, this concept employs two TFT displays within one instrument, allowing for a large widescreen display area in a 2U form factor.

Proprietary Technology
Featuring the industry renowned planar shunt technology (A shunt design topology developed by N4L) and FPGA based real time no gap analysis techniques, the PPA3500 is able to provide ground breaking 6(7) phase analysis performance. Real-Time no gap analysis ensures efficiency measurements are entirely synchronized between input and output.
 
All PPA3500 units are supplied with UKAS ISO17025 certification as standard, this is performed at N4L in the UK in our accredited ISO17025 Laboratory.
 
ISO17025 Calibration and Verification
Every PPA3500 Power Analyzer supplied by N4L is provided with both a UKAS Accredited calibration certificate up to 850Hz, as well as a UKAS Traceable calibration certificate up to 1MHz. N4L have developed a number of bespoke power calibrators in order to verify the accuracy of every power analyzer supplied over its entire frequency range, this is surprisingly uncommon within the instrumentation industry. Furthermore, development of an ISO17025 (UKAS) accredited Closed Loop Calorimeter in partnership with Oxford University (UK) has verified the performance of the N4L custom designed power calibration rigs with a very low uncertainty level, providing absolute confidence that the wide band performance of all N4L power analyzers is market leading.
