POWER ANALYSIS OPTION
Power Analyzer Automates Switching Device Loss Measurements
Quickly measure and analyze the operating characteristics of power conversion
devices and circuits with the Power Analyzer option. Critical power switching
device measurements, control loop modulation analysis, and line power
harmonic testing are all simplied with a dedicated user interface and automatic
measurements. Areas of turn-on, turn-off, and conduction loss are all identied
with color-coded waveform overlays for faster analysis.
Power Analyzer provides quick and easy setup of voltage and current inputs and
makes measurements as simple as the push of a button. Tools are provided to
help reduce sources of measurement errors and the measurement parameters
provide details of single cycle or average device power losses.
Beyond the advanced power loss measurement capabilities, the Power Analyzer
modulation analysis capabilities provide insight to understand control loop
response to critical events such as a power supply’s soft start performance or
step response to line and load changes. The Line Power Analysis tool allows
simple and quick pre-compliance testing to EN 61000-3-2.
