2250A Operations Manual

PHASE ANGLE VOLTMETER (PAV)

ONE (OPTIONAL) REFERENCE SUPPLY

GENERAL
This Operations Manual contains a general description, specifications, installation & operating instructions, as well as
maintenance and calibration verification information for the North Atlantic Industries (NAI) Model 2250A Phase Angle
Voltmeter (PAV).

FEATURES
• High Accuracy, in half the size and weight of
existing designs
• High resolution Touchscreen
• Up to 80 dB Harmonic Rejection
• Fast settling time, fully programmable
• Ethernet, USB & IEEE-488
• LVDT/RVDT Measurement Capability
• Independent Front and Rear panel
connections
• Replaces all legacy NAI PAV’s
• Optional 6VA Internal Reference

DESCRIPTION
This precision Instrument measures Total, Fundamental, Harmonics, In-phase, Quadrature, Frequency, THD, Ratio
and Phase angle. All displayed at the same time. The isolated inputs enable null, ratio, and gain measurements.
This second generation 2250A Phase Angle Voltmeter (PAV), is based on the latest DSP and FPGA technologies,
and thus substantially extends and simplifies the capabilities of the legacy 2250. Our unique design allows all local
programming to be done either via a color integrated touchscreen, front panel USB mouse interface, or with the multi-
purpose increment/setup knob. The large (2.3” x 5.8”) screen can display up to 16 parameters at the same time. In
addition, a sensitive analog null meter is included as a standard feature. Not only is our new design smaller, lighter
and requires less power, but it also adds Ethernet, IEEE-488 and USB access, AND a greatly improved settling time
and more accuracy.

The 2250A is the recommended replacement for all prior NAI PAV versions, including 2250, 2251, 225, 321 and
213C. Contact factory to determine compatibility

Optional Reference: This design can also incorporate a 6 VA programmable reference generator that is used for
stand-alone applications (See Ordering Information).
