4015A AC/DC Digitizing Power Meter

4015A AC/DC Digitizing Power Meter

The 4015A AC/DC Digitizing Power Meter is designed for high-precision measurement of power parameters in AC and DC applications. With a measurement range of up to 500V and 20A, and power measurements up to 10,000W, it is suitable for automated test environments (ATEs). Its high accuracy (0.1%) and ability to measure voltage/current harmonics up to the 50th order make it ideal for diverse applications, including AC/DC adapters, chargers, LED drivers, DC/DC converters, UPS systems, and more.

Applications

Power Supply Testing: Suitable for testing AC/DC adapters, chargers, quick chargers, LED drivers, and DC/DC converters.
Inrush Current Testing: Precisely measure inrush current using internal 200A peak MOSFET switches, ideal for UPS, AVR, and other high-inrush applications.
Harmonic Measurements: Measures voltage and current harmonics up to the 50th order, making it suitable for devices requiring harmonic compliance testing.
Energy Efficiency Testing: Works with systems like the Prodigit 6010 ATE to measure efficiency and standby power in various AC/DC power supplies.

Description

The 4015A power meter integrates multiple channels with high-speed 16-bit A/D converters and DSP processing for accurate real-time measurements. It is equipped with an internal 4-channel AC source/AVR selector and a 200A peak switch to enable time-distributed inrush current testing. This setup allows testing of multiple units under test (UUT) with minimal AC power capacity, optimizing the test process and reducing the size of the required power supply.

System Integration

6010 ATE Compatibility: The 4015A power meter works seamlessly with the Prodigit 6010 Automated Test Equipment (ATE) system. The ATE system allows testing of four AC/DC power supplies simultaneously, including inrush current measurements up to 200A peak.
Harmonic Testing: It provides precise harmonic measurement data, which can be integrated into systems like the PA1000 Power Analyzer for complete harmonic and power analysis.
Flexible Test Configurations: The 4015A can be combined with AC sources like the 5302A (270VA) or 5310 (1KVA), and the 5303 AVR for comprehensive testing setups, offering flexible power supply testing for both low and high-power devices.
