The Voltech PM6000 reputation is excellent, and it is an ideal option for measurements involving chargers, UPS systems, and high-power converters. It is specially optimized for making accurate measurements for all kinds of waveforms including more heavily distorted ones. The PM6000 is also a sound solution for carrying out power measurements on transformers. It is designed to offer optimum performance for both short-circuit and open-circuit conditions. Under this category of power measurements, it excels for measuring Watts, Vrms, Arms, Vrmn, Apk, VA, VAr, THD, Harmonics,Inrush and K-factor.
The power analyzer is also suitable for measurement applications involving variable frequency machines and drives. Technicians are capable of making concurrent measurements at the output and input of a drive. This design characteristic allows accurate measurements under all speed and load conditions. For this category of power measurements, the Voltech PM6000 is suitable for measuring drive input, DC Bus, motor output, drive output, and efficiency.
