Applications

Power, energy, standby power, and harmonics measurements for:

Complete power consumption analysis

Most of today's AC-powered electronics and electro-mechanical products have government or consumer efficiency regulations they must meet. The PA1000 simplifies the process of proving that designs meet these requirements by offering a complete bench-top solution for single phase power consumption analysis. Use the standard front-panel input jacks and optional breakout box to simplify connections to the device under test, then analyze and document the results with the free PWRVIEW software.

Notes:

All stated accuracies are based upon a minimum of a 30-minute warm-up period.

Z_ext is the external shunt impedance used and must be less than or equal to 10 Ohms.

If no frequency is measured, then the signal is considered DC for the purpose of accuracy.

F is the frequency measured in kHz. In the case of harmonics, F is the harmonic frequency.

Specifications are valid from 1 to 100% of range in low bandwidth and after a manual zero has been performed. Values below 1% are typical.

In high bandwidth, specifications are valid when the signal is greater than 10% of the range.

Harmonic specifications are always valid when the harmonic is greater than 2% of the range.

Measurement conditions during calibration: Instrument default settings unless otherwise stated, sine waves applied to V and I inputs, 30 min warm up, ambient temperature 23 °C ±5 °C.

BB1000-NA breakout box

The Tektronix breakout box provides an easy way to make wiring connections between your device under test and the Tektronix power analyzer. Your device power cord plugs directly into the outlet on the breakout box (choose the version that best matches the connector style for your geography).

Connection to the power analyzer is then simple, using the standard input lead set with 4 mm safety banana connectors that are provided as a standard accessory with the power analyzer.
