Turns a PC into a Power Converter

The new PC10 Spectral Power Converter measures, computes and transmits all your important power variables to your computer. The software lets you select the quantities you want to display on the PC/Notebook monitor. The settings, such as auto or manual ranging are easily changed and measurements are stored at a mouse click. The Spectral Power Converter is available in single or three phase versions and combines an ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter and a spectrum analyzer in a single light weight package.

1300 simultaneous values

From the simultaneous and precise voltage and current measurement you can obtain the RMS, rectified mean, mean, min, max and harmonics through the 99th order. Particular care has been taken to obtain precise power readings (watts, VA, VAR and power factor) at highly distorted signals. Other valus determined are: frequency, crest- and form factor, THD, Wh, VAh, VARh, Ah, harmonics of power, harmonics of impedance (magnitude and phase) and line-to-line voltages.

High precision, low cost

The PC10's combination of high frequency performance, excellent common mode rejection and simultaneous measurements is needed for accurate readings on inverter drives, switched mode power supplies and ballast lighting equipment. The current input from 15mA to 40A can be extended to 100A with our option, or you can use your own Hall sensor for current measurements up to 20kA. A shunt input for high frequency current viewing resistors or current clamps is included. Measurement accuracy of 0.1% in a compact, light weight instrument is useful in the laboratory, in the field and in automatic test systems.

Versatile software package

The package contains software (DOS or Windows) to control the Spectral Power Converter, read data, display data and store data. Software is available for standard applications in continuous and triggered measurement mode. The software for motor- and transformer testing makes use of the analog inputs to determine mechanical power, torque, speed, slip, corrected power and other values from external transducers. An extensive software driver for LabView is available to build a test system to your needs.
