APS M1001 Series Economy Single Channel Power Analyzer with Harmonics Measurements

SINGLE PHASE AC & DC POWER ANALYZERS

The M1001 Series is a powerful yet cost effective single phase AC and DC power analyzer.

Multiple voltage and current ranges allow for optimal resolution and accuracy when making measurements providing support for a wide range of power test applications. Unique test modes not found in run of the mill power analyzers in this price range include automated current inrush measurement using programmable On and Off phase angle settings thanks to an internal electronic switch. A minimum power measurements resolution of 0.1 picoWatt and 0.03W standby power integration mode support product testing for compliance with ENERGY STAR / IEC62301 standards.

Designed using state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing, the M1001 power analyzer supports gap-less measurement of voltage and current at sampling rates up to 409.6kHz. Multiple voltage and current ranges allow for optimal resolution and accuracy when making measurements providing support for a wide range of power test applications.

Unique test modes not found in run of the mill power analyzers in this price range include automated current inrush measurement using programmable On and Off phase angle settings thanks to an internal electronic switch. A minimum power measurements resolution of 0.1 picoWatt and 0.03W standby power integration mode support product testing for compliance with ENERGY STAR / IEC62301 standards.

AC Voltage Range (Vac) is 500Vrms / 800Vpk.  DC Voltage Range (Vdc) is 500Vdc. The internal shunt is rated at 20Arms / 200Apk. An external shunt may be used for higher current or power level requirements. For three-phase power applications, two or three M1001 meters can be used to measure all phase voltages, currents, power, VA, VAR, Vthd, Ithd and Haromonics.

Available remote control interface options are: USB, LAN, RS232 or GPIB.

Power Measurements

In METER MODE, measurement data can be displayed in either numeric or graphical format. The Graphics display can show any combination of Voltage, Current and Watts using an oscilloscope display.

Harmonics Analysis

Even and Odd Harmonics of the fundamental AC frequency for both voltage and current are measured up to the 50th harmonic and can be display in table or graphical formats.

Inrush Current Measurements

The internal electronic switch allows precise control over the voltage turn-on and turn-off phase angle allowing for the measurement of inrush current under various start phase angle conditions. Finding an EUTs worst case inrush current is made easy and fast.

Standby Power Measurements

Designing products with very low standby current is important to minimize waste. The standby power measurement mode of the M1001 allows certification to the ENERGY STAR / EN62301 standard.

Product Burn-in Data Logging

Data Logging is useful for recording test data or product burn-in runs. This mode allows recording of Vrms. Irms. Watt, PF, Vthd and Ithd to a comma delimited file which is easily imported into an Excel spreadsheet. Up to 256 recordings can be stored in internal memory.

Power On/Off Product Endurance Testing

Power On/Off cycling is used to turn-on behavior and turn-off behavior of a unit under test. This continuous power cycling of product under development or test can pinpoint design issues or quality issues by stressing components.
