Power Analyzers to Test Inverter Driven Electrical Machines

The HBM eDrive series of Power Analyzers are with unparalleled power computation based on digital cycle detection. Thus, they deliver reliable results also in dynamic load changes, where conventional power meters just fail. With enough sample rate to cover all current inverter technologies, they can be expanded with more channel, higher sample rates, or other inputs to match every need you might run into in the future. 

  • 3 to 51 power channels per mainframe   
  • Simultaneous acquisition of electrical, mechanical and bus data 
  • Real time result transfer to automation system and real time raw data storage 

The eDrive solution from HBM covers the entire measurement chain: high-precision sensors, powerful instruments and  intuitive software. Mechanical signals (e.g. torque) and electrical signals (current and voltage) are acquired simultaneously  and help engineers to better understand the electrical drive and its losses faster and more accurately than ever before.
