Power Analyzer
PA4000 Datasheet
Tektronix PA4000 Power Analyzers deliver highly accurate, multi-channel
power, energy, and efficiency measurements. Precisely-matched inputs,
unique Spiral Shunt
™
technology, and advanced signal processing deliver
high accuracy even with highly modulated waveforms and crest factors as
high as 10. The versatile PA4000 offers comprehensive power
measurements. Dual current shunts provide optimal resolution from
microwatts to kilowatts. Harmonics analysis up to the 100
th
harmonic, and
motor analysis with torque and speed inputs are included in the standard
instrument. Every PA4000 comes with multiple PC interfaces, PC software,
and USB flash drive support to help you collect and analyze data.
Key features
1 to 4 Input Modules allows several configurations to match your
application
High measurement accuracy of 0.04% (basic voltage & current
accuracy) for demanding test requirements
Dual internal current shunts for each module maximize accuracy for
high- and low-current measurements
Unique Spiral Shunt
TM
design maintains stability over variations in
current, temperature, etc. (patent applied for)
Proprietary frequency detection algorithms ensure rock-solid frequency
tracking even on noisy waveforms
Application-specific test modes simplify instrument setup and reduce
the likelihood of user error
Easy data export to USB flash drive or remote PC software, for
reporting and/or remote control
Many standard features such as comm ports and harmonic analysis
eliminate costly upgrade options

Flexible voltage and current input choices to
fit your application
The PA4000 is the only instrument of its kind to feature both high- and low-
range internal current shunts in each input module. The 30-Amp shunt is
perfect for many applications and can accept up to 200 A peak; but for
measuring low-current devices the 1 A shunt provides increased resolution
and accuracy for measurements down into the microamp range. For
measuring currents over 30 Amps, a selection of matching external current
transducers are available in several styles, including high-accuracy
transducers up to 1000 A.
The PA4000's voltage inputs can accept up to 1000 V
