VAT2-600 Now Easier Than Ever to Wire

PQube® 3 Power Analyzer with VAT200-600

We’ve improved the installation wiring. The VAT2-600 module now can be attached at the top for an easier and cleaner installation. Use a VAT2-600  as it steps down the input voltages (L1,L2,L3,N) into 3 or 4 (DELTA or Wye) differential voltages compatible with PQube® 3 inputs.

News!

  • Replaces VAT1-600 (and maybe also the ATT1, see below!)
  • Powerside branded!
  • Improves installation wiring  – Figure shows VAT1-600 with a PQube 3.  With the VAT2-600, the wires attach at the top for much cleaner installation.

What does the VAT2-600 do?

  • The VAT2 steps down the input voltages (L1,L2,L3,N) into 3 or 4 (DELTA or Wye) differential voltages compatible with PQube 3 inputs. This allows you to transform the PQube 3 to a dual voltage monitor , or the PQube 3e to a dual power monitor
  • The module AC voltage range 707Vac full scale , or ± 1,000 Vdc full scale
  • The voltage can be AC or DC, BUT the step down ratio is common to all channels (600/10 : e.g. 600V to 10V).

VAT2 vs ATT1 vs ATT2

PQube 3 + Module* What you get Full Scale What PQube 3 channels are consumed
ATT1-600 (*) 1 VDC channel
or
1VAC channel
± 825 Vdc to earth

300Vac to earth
1 analog channel
ATT2-600 (*) 1 VDC channel
and
1 DC current channel
± 1000 Vdc to earth

See Hall effect CTs
2 analog channels
VAT2-600 3 or 4 Vac channels 707 Vac 3 or 4 current channels (**)
or    
2 Vdc (differential) channels +/- 1000 Vdc 2 analog channels (***)
or    
  3 Vdc channels (sharing a common ) +/- 1000 Vdc 3 analog channels (***)
  • *  ATT1 & ATT2 have clip connections, while the VAT2 has screw connections.
  • ** typical use is for dual voltage or dual power monitoring. The VAT2-600 can also connect to the analog channels.
  • *** typical use. The VAT2-600 can also connect to current channels for single polarity DC measurements.


We recommend the VAT2-600 over the ATT1 for DC measurements.
