Voltech offers complete solutions for full or pre-compliance testing to the current IEC/EN standards IEC 61000-3-2 (harmonics) and IEC 61000-3-3(flicker). The powerful PM6000 easily meets the requirements of the latest version of IEC 61000-4-7 (harmonic measurement instrumentation) including the requirements for inter-harmonic grouping and a 200ms measuring window. The PM6000 also implements the requirements for a reference instrument by using a discrete Fourier transform as opposed to a fast Fourier transform (FFT), providing reliable, error-free harmonic measurements in all conditions.

The PM6000 is ideal for measurements on power supplies, from wall chargers to UPS and high-power converters, the PM6000 makes accurate measurements on all waveforms including those heavily distorted by the rectification and smoothing at power supply inputs.

Single or three-phase, the PM6000 will make very accurate measurements of power and harmonics on all kinds of electric machinery. With six channels, the versatile PM6000 will make simultaneous under all load and speed conditions.

The power consumption of everyday home and office electrical appliances is of importance to consumers and generators of electricity alike.

When the power consumption varies over time, then integration of the power (W-h integration) is required. The PM6000 provides comprehensive integration features suitable for energy Star measurements and for low power measurements in accordance with international directives, eg. IEC 62301 which also requires crest factor measurements up to 8 and 50 harmonics.

To measure the efficiency of a high-frequency ballast, its essential to have an accurate measurement of the ballast’s output power. With unbeatable accuracy at high frequencies, and superior common-mode rejection, the PM6000 will make the most accurate efficiency measurements possible

Power transformers are characterized under open-circuit and short-circuit conditions. Open-circuit, the power factor of the transformer is close to zero (< 0.01), which demands very low phase error, from the power analyzer, The analog design of the PM6000 ensures that its voltage and current channels are carefully matched, providing optimum performance at low power factors.
