Thousands of design and test engineers trust Voltech power analyzers to provide clear and definitive measurements on products that are in low power standby mode. Our power analyzer range is ideal for measuring low power standby on all kinds of audio-visual, domestic and office equipment.Easy-to-use Voltech power analyzers provide fast design evaluations as well as full compliance measurements to IEC62301 and ENERGY STAR low power standby requirements.

As different countries agree their own limits on the power that domestic and portable industrial appliances should consume in standby mode, manufacturers need ever-more accurate ways of measuring it – not least because Energy Star and the EU code of conduct are being written into international law.

To provide consistency, the directives call for specific measurement methods that are based on the international standard IEC62301. This standard clearly defines how to measure standby power. Some of the standard’s key requirements include that the instrument:
