Santa Rosa, CA. Keysight Technologies has announced an extension to the IntegraVision family of power analyzers, the first in the industry to combine high-accuracy power measurements and touch-driven oscilloscope visualization in a single instrument. The Keysight IntegraVision PA2203A four-channel power analyzer gives R&D engineers working on three-phase power devices an intuitive tool that delivers the dynamic views they need to see, measure, and prove design performance.
Like the Keysight IntegraVision two-channel power analyzer, the four-channel entry provides 0.05% basic accuracy and 16-bit resolution measurements critical to identify and characterize incremental improvements in highly efficient electronic power conversion systems. While the two-channel version has proven suitable for design and test of common home and office devices that use single-phase power, devices used in commercial and industrial settings frequently require three-phase power. The new IntegraVision PA2203A provides three-phase power measurements and analysis. The PA2203A has four power channels in the same space-efficient package for fast, accurate design and validation of grid-connected devices, motors, and other high-power devices.
In addition, the instrument lets users visualize transients, inrush currents, and state changes with a 5-MS/s digitizer that captures voltage, current, and power in real time with 2.5-MHz bandwidth. By eliminating the need for a scope to view power-line phenomena and time-varying performance, the IntegraVision streamlines measurement setup and reduces configuration time. Engineers can observe power consumption under dynamic conditions on the IntegraVision’s 12.1-inch capacitive touchscreen with twice the viewing area of competitive models.
“The new IntegraVision PA2203A power analyzer gives R&D engineers the highly accurate measurement engine of a power analyzer and the user experience of an oscilloscope to resolve issues and optimize efficiency in three-phase designs,” said Kari Fauber, general manager of Keysight’s Power and Energy Division. “Solar inverters have DC input and three-phase AC output requiring four power channels. The PA2203A is perfect for this application, as it can measure DC and AC, and provide efficiency and power-quality analysis.”
