Product introduction: AC/DC HIGH VOLTAGE DIVIDER VT1005

Power Efficiency Measurement at
1000 V and Above

Detect efficiency improvement effects on the order of 0.1% that
was not possible with high-voltage differential probes

Key Considerations for Accurately Measuring Efficiency

Can you accurately measure power from
fundamental to switching-frequency components?

Active power on the output side of inverters includes not only the fundamental component, but also switching components. In order to measure efficiency with a high degree of precision, you must be able to accurately measure not only the fundamental component, but also switching components.

Safely Measure High Voltages up to 5000 V

Measure voltages of up to 5000 V, 2000 V CAT II, or 1500 V CAT III. Measured voltages are divided (1000:1) and output to the PW8001.

Stable Efficiency Measurements Down to the Decimal Point

The VT1005 can measure voltage with excellent accuracy across a broad band of frequencies. Accuracy is 0.1% or less at DC and commercial frequencies (50/60 Hz). In addition, the device can measure the most commonly used switching frequencies (10 kHz or less) and the switching frequencies of inverters that use SiC power devices (from 10 kHz to 50 kHz) with a high degree of accuracy.

Comparison of High-Voltage Differential Probe and VT1005 (Left)

High-voltage differential probes have a broad frequency band, but measurement error on the order of several percent occurs within that band. Thanks to high accuracy and excellent frequency flatness within its frequency band, the VT1005 makes it possible to detect efficiency improvement effects on the order of 0.1%, a task that has been impossible until now.
