The AEMC 8220 with AmpFlex 193-24-BK is a single phase AC/DC power meter with an electroluminescent backlit LCD display, is rated to 600 Volts Cat III, and is designed for control and maintenance engineers, technicians, as well as electrical educators and contractors.

The 8220 is a measurement instrument for distribution network disturbances and electrical parameters, allowing the user to obtain instantaneous measurements of the main characteristics of a single phase network (current, voltage, current harmonics, voltage and power, etc.) and to monitor operating machinery (distance of windings, inrush current and duration of operation, temperature, and rotational speed).

The 8220 has an accuracy better than 1 percent (excluding current sensors). It has a great degree of flexibility due to AEMC’s incredible range of current sensors, which measure from a few hundred mA to several thousand Amps.
