(harmonics, flicker, etc.) Direct access to the main functions (configuration, screenshots, etc.) Stability ensured by the foldaway stand Voltage/ current inputs fitted with colour-coded identification rings Wide colour TFT screen for easy reading Designed for inspection and maintenance teams in industrial or administrative buildings, the Qualistar can provide a snapshot of the main electrical network quality characteristics. Easy to handle and precise, these instruments also offer a large number of calculated values and several processing functions. Designed to cover all 600 V CAT IV and 1000 V CAT III applications in compliance with the IEC 61010 standard, the Qualistar+ range is divided up according to the functions provided and the connections available: C.A 8331 & C.A 8333: 4 voltage inputs and 3 current inputs, C.A 8336 & C.A 8436: 5 voltage inputs and 4 current inputs. The whole range benefits from a set of inserts and rings for customizing the colour-coding in each country. Equipped with IP67 connections to ensure water-proofing, the C.A 8436 is also compatible with all the existing Qualistar measuring accessories. Qualistar+ range

The Qualistar models are ideal for applications on all types of electrical networks, from the simplest to the most complex:
- Single-phase, split-phase and three-phase with or without neutral
- All types of 2, 3, 4 and 5-wire electrical networks
- 2-wattmeters method
- ARON
- 2 ½ elements… Longer Inrush… over 10 minutes! The Inrush current corresponds to the maximum input current drawn by an electrical device when it is powered up. This measurement helps to size the electrical installation correctly. The Inrush is measured over a period of 10 minutes. Once you have chosen the acquisition mode (RMS or peak), the Qualistar captures everything. Short or long-term flicker The flicker (as defined by the IEC/EN standard) characterizes voltage variations which cause lighting fluctuations, for example. According to the applicable standards, the Flicker level is expressed by two parameters:
- Pst ( short-term flicker) Calculation of the Pst, which is used to assess the flicker level, is based on statistical processing of the voltage signal sampled. It is measured over a period of 10 minutes
- Plt (long-term flicker) This is a multiple of the Pst. It is measured over a period of 2 hours. Functions
Power and energy quality analysers Energy values, including Tonnes Oil Equivalent The Qualistar models measure energy. This mode displays all the values relating to power and energy.
- “Start” and “Stop” keys to activate and deactivate summing of the energy values.
- A new feature is the wide variety of units available: kW, Joule, nuclear toe, non-nuclear toe, BTU, etc Calculation of K factor for transformers The harmonic currents flowing in a network lead to increased losses in the windings. This results in heating of the transformer and reduces the life span of the instruments connected.
- compliance with the NF EN 50464-3 standard for calculating K to determine transformer’s derating.
- the FHL and European K factor parameters are recorded and measured simultaneously. Harmonics All the useful parameters are measured: global THD and per phase on U, I, V and VA, phase offset of harmonics. Some models offer a VA harmonics function and an “expert mode”. New: the harmonics measurement function is more comprehensive:
- calculation of the harmonics in %f and %r
- decomposition of the harmonics on the neutral conductor
- calculation of the distorting voltages and currents Distorting power New! Breakdown of the reactive power values, with the concept of non-active power (N), distorting power (D) and reactive power (Q1).
- The deforming power (D) for sizing the anti-harmonic filters.
- The reactive power (Q1) linked to the phase shift of the fundamental for sizing the capacitor bank for power phase correction.
- The total reactive power (N) of the installation.
Users enter the instrument’s general parameters directly (date and time, display contrast, colour, etc.). The menus, help screens and pop-ups are translated into all the languages. They select the type of network to which the Qualistar is connected. They configure the measurement and recording parameters. When they are connected, the current sensors are recognized automatically by the Qualistar. By configuring the ratios, it is possible to obtain direct readings of the measurements on the transformer primary. Practical advantages Help If you have any hesitations, the Help key clearly explains the functions applicable to the screen display. Screenshot When this key is pressed, the instrument takes a screenshot. The screen displayed is then saved automatically with time/date-stamping. Accessible on the front panel of the Qualistar, screenshots can be produced simply by pressing a key. The Help function is available at every stage.
Power and energy quality analysers View all the channels simultaneously! Graphics View the characteristics of a network instantaneously OBSERVATION DIAGNOSTICS Display The Qualistar models allow you to view all the inputs simultaneously. The measurements are displayed as waveforms; values or Fresnel diagrams. Harmonics mode Global THD and per phase on U, I, V and VA in % and RMS value, phase offset of harmonics. They offer the expert mode for the Harmonics function. These two instruments can be used to analyse the influence of the harmonics on heating of the neutral or on rotating machines. POWER MEASUREMENT THD PHASE BY PHASE INTEGRATION OF POWER / ENERGY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME Power/Energy mode This mode displays all the values concerning power and energy. The “start” and “stop” keys can be used to activate and deactivate totalizing of the energies. GLOBAL THD

is compatible with other Chauvin Arnoux® products: Qualistar+ power analysers, C.A 8220 & C.A 8230 power analysers, F400 and F600 multimeter clamps, and other measuring instruments. Minimum operating system requirements: Windows® 7, 8 and 10. The simple-to-use software automatically recognizes the instrument connected to the PC and opens the corresponding menu. Users have direct access to: database management EN 50160 report management EN 50160 The EN 50160 European standard regulates the quality of the voltage distributed by electricity suppliers. To define the quality of the voltage, a measurement campaign must be carried out over a 7-day period with an IEC 61000-4-30 instrument. The measurements correspond to the different types of disturbances liable to affect the voltage: voltage drops, outages, overvoltages, slow voltage variations, network frequency variations, voltage unbalance, harmonics, rapid voltage variations, flicker. Once these measurements have been taken, the recorded data are analysed. The PAT software automatically configures the instrument in compliance with the standard. The Dataview® software can be used to generate the report automatically in compliance with the EN50160 standard.
