I'm currently looking around for a AC(+DC) Power Analyzer and I did not find that much stuff in the forum so far. Kinda suprising.
I'd like to play a bit arounnd with AC power supplies.
Look at Power Factor, Crest factor, harmonics standby consumption, PFC, Inrush current.
Would be nice to be able to do some compliance testing in the future (EN 61000 Harmonics, EN 50564 standby consumption).
Maybe some DC analysis.
A graphical UI with waveform display would be nice. USB & LAN interface should also be present.
I've found a few devices which are interesting and fit my 2k€ budget;
- Itech IT9121 which is ~2000€ (IT9121E is €, but does not have the harmonics option)
- GPM-8310 is 1438€ or 1545€ (later with Digital-IO option)
The UI seems to be not fully intuitive and it cannot really measure inrush current apparently.
All prices with tax in Europe.
I also came across the Rohde & Schwarz HMC8015, but that's kinda above my budget.
Also they have some stuff locked behind software options which I dislike.
Just missed a Chroma 66205 on Ebay for 500€. This does not have a graphical UI but comes with a PC software.
New this ia also above my budget.
Has anyone one of the two devices and can tell me what they like/dislike about them?
Or some general thoughts?
