Advanced Inverter Testing

April 1, 2004
The Model WT1600 Power Analyzer incorporates an advanced feature set required by research, design and production testing engineers for testing various types of power inverters, including those used with fuel cells for distributed power applications and with PWM motor drives.

The WT1600 can be configured with up to six input elements to accurately measure the electrical power input and output of an inverter. For applications using the inverter on a fuel cell or battery source, the WT1600 can make the DC input power measurements simultaneously with the single- or three-phase AC output. High resolution 200 KS/s digitizers are used on each voltage and current input in order to make accurate measurements on PWM and other distorted waveforms. The WT1600 has a basic measurement accuracy of 0.1 percent. The WT1600 has Ethernet capability, 12 MB of internal memory for data acquisition, a 2.1 GB hard drive, SCSI interface, floppy disk drive, 6.4-inch TFT color LCD display with VGA monitor output, and a built-in printer.
