The World Leader in Power Analyzers and Transformer Testers
MAKING THE MEASUREMENTS

The growth in New Green Energy world wide is focusing electrical power engineers attention to designing highly efficient electrical inverters to convert wind and solar energy into single or three phase power that can be supplied to the national grid while at the same time meeting international standards such IEC61000-3-12 for measuring current harmonic distortion. With the competitive drive for producing the highest efficiency inverter in it class, manufactures are turning to Voltech power analyzers to give them the highest possible accuracy in power measurements. Inverter Topologies are variable and are dependent on the input power i.e. a PV Inverter with DC solar cells with MPPT (max power point trackers) or a variable three phase generator source in a wind turbine, or if the output is Grid tied or not will demand a different set of measurements. Voltech’s power analyzers are totally equipped to meet the design engineers need for a certified high accuracy, wide bandwidth power measurements because of Voltech’s 25 years of power analyzer product development.
