Power Meter Instrument Information
Similar to a power analyzer, a power meter is an electronic device which measures electrical power characteristics, such as true power, power factor, harmonics and efficiency of devices that generate, transform or consume electricity, to a slightly less accuracy but more maneuverability than a power analyzer. Typically, the system contains multiple input terminals for voltage and current and comes with leads for integrating the electrical circuit to be tested. A digital analyzer receives the inputs, performs calculations and provides a readout of the characteristic being measured.
Common Uses
Measuring electrical power characteristics in manufactured electrical instruments, such as inverters, motor drives, lighting, home appliances, office equipment, power supplies and industrial machinery.
