The replacement power adapter/charger model PA30W from Chauvin Arnoux serves as a power supply and charging unit for the Qualistar power analysers in the C.A 833X series, as well as for the installation tester C.A 6113. The device is specifically designed for use in office and indoor environments and provides reliable power supply for the specified measuring instruments. It replaces the original power supply and ensures the same functionality for power supply and charging of the integrated accumulators.

Applications

The PA30W power adapter is intended for indoor use, as it meets the protection rating IP 40. This protection rating means that the device is protected against solid foreign objects (minimum diameter 1 mm) and against splashing water from any direction. It is therefore suitable for use in offices, workshops, or other enclosed spaces where no direct moisture or dust exposure occurs. The devices for which it is intended belong to the category of power analysers and installation testers, used in the field of electrical installation and testing.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device delivers a stable direct voltage of 15 V DC with a maximum current of 2 A, corresponding to an output power of 30 W. These specifications are sufficient to safely operate the specified measuring instruments and charge their batteries. The input range covers a voltage of 90 V to 264 V AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz, enabling universal use in various countries. The power consumption is 65 VA, describing the efficiency and thermal load of the device. The power supply is equipped with a power cable for connecting to the mains.

Technology Explained Simply

The PA30W is an external power supply that converts electrical energy from the AC mains into a constant DC voltage required for the operating voltage of the measuring instruments. The conversion is performed by an internal switching regulator, which maintains a stable output voltage regardless of fluctuations in the input voltage range. The IP 40 protection rating ensures the device is protected against mechanical impacts and splashing water, which is sufficient for indoor use. The output power of 30 W is sufficient to supply the operating voltage to the devices and simultaneously charge their batteries.

Compatibility and Accessories

The power adapter is specifically designed for the Qualistar power analysers in the C.A 833X series (e.g. CA8331, CA8333, CA8335, CA8336) and for the installation tester C.A 6113. It is also compatible with the model CA6116N and the device PEL115, as stated by the manufacturer. Compatibility is ensured by the specific connector geometry and electrical specifications. This is a replacement part that replaces the function of the original power supply.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by simply connecting the power cable to a socket and connecting the charger to the measuring instrument. No additional mounting or tools are required. The connection is made via the specific connector plug of the device. The user instructions included in the delivery contain instructions for correct use.

Advantages in Operation

The PA30W offers universal usability due to its wide input voltage range, making it suitable for use in various countries. The stable output voltage of 15 V DC ensures reliable power supply for the measuring instruments. The integrated charging function allows batteries to be charged during operation, extending the operating time. The IP 40 protection rating ensures safe operation in indoor environments.
