Table Meters Type 8701|8705|8706

Types 8701, 8705 and 8706 are compact bench meters for student workstations. They combine an RMS multimeter, an electronic power meter and an electronic phase-angle meter in one family with a built-in power supply, analogue dual scales and protected 4 mm inputs.

  • Three devices in one family: RMS multimeter, power meter, phase-angle meter
  • Large analogue dual scales
  • Built-in power supply in all units
  • All ranges internally protected
  • 4 mm safety sockets for the inputs
  • Type 8701 with voltage, current, resistance and frequency measurement
Datasheet (PDF)

Family

The bench meters are designed for student workstations. The family combines an RMS multimeter, an electronic power meter and an electronic phase-angle meter.

Operation

All units have large analogue dual scales, internal protection circuits and 4 mm safety sockets. This keeps measurements easy to read and suitable for teaching.

  • Type 8705 with active, reactive and apparent power
  • Type 8706 with phase angle and power factor measurement
