What this group is for
Written as engineering fact. Nothing on this page states a specification the manufacturer has not supplied.
True power computed from simultaneous voltage and current samples, not inferred from RMS values.
Correct results on distorted and phase-shifted waveforms, where a simple meter quietly reports the wrong number.
Single- and three-phase configurations for the wiring actually in front of you.
Continuous measurement for standby, idle and loaded conditions in one run.
Highlighted models
Model data to be supplied
Specific Power Meter models are quoted against the application, because the right one depends on the range you need to resolve and the conditions on site.
Tell us what you are measuring and we will name the models that cover it, with the ranges and accuracy classes written out in full.
Send me the specification sheet
Ranges, accuracy classes and model numbers for Power Meter, by email. No call unless you ask for one.
Where it is used
Four situations this group is bought for, and the points on a real installation where it is connected.
- Power consumption and standby power evaluation of products.
- Efficiency measurement on power supplies and converters.
- Equipment acceptance testing against a power specification.
- Energy studies on individual machines.
Typical measurement locations
Supply quality: sags, swells, harmonics, flicker
Incoming supply
Everything downstream inherits whatever arrives here. Measure it before blaming the equipment.
Power and energy over time
Distribution busbar
Consumption is attributed by circuit or it is not attributed at all.

Power Meter: which one fits your measurement?
Give us the quantity, the range you need to resolve and the conditions on site. We will name the models that cover it and say plainly where they stop.
What has to be true inside the company
Four criteria of innovation, and the reason a measurement can be trusted outside it.
Increasing customer value
Production system
A production system built so that a measurement need turns into a delivered, calibrated instrument without the customer absorbing the delay.
Delivering peace of mind to customers
After-sales service
An instrument is only as good as the number it still reports in year five. After-sales service exists to keep that number trustworthy.
Pursuing productivity and precision
Manufacturing capabilities
Precision is a manufacturing capability before it is a specification. It is held in the process, not promised in the catalog.
Creating new customer value
Collaborative development of new products
When a field has no instrument for the quantity it needs to see, the instrument gets developed with the customer who needs it.
