Typical Applications

PF510 is a multi-functional, wide bandwidth touch-screen digital power meter. It delivers a basic accuracy of 0.1%, bandwidth up to 1MHz and sampling rate of 500kS/s. Equipped with a 5" LCD touch screen for easy operation, it can directly display voltage and current waveforms. It comes standard with LAN, USB, RS-232 communication interfaces and supports USB flash drive storage. It is widely used in testing fields such as lighting, home appliances, photovoltaics, power supplies, motors, inverters, UPS, etc.

Key Features

I. 5" LCD Touch Screen with Multiple Display Modes

Equipped with a 5-inch color LCD touch screen, it features easy operation and clear, intuitive real-time display. It provides multiple display modes including numerical display, waveform display and bar graph display. In numerical display mode, up to 19 values can be displayed simultaneously; in waveform mode, voltage and current waveforms can be displayed; for harmonic measurement, numerical or bar graph display is available for clear readability.

II. Wide Bandwidth

With 1MHz bandwidth and frequency measurement range up to 200kHz, it can accurately test products whose input waveforms contain rich high-frequency harmonic components, such as switching power supplies and variable-frequency home appliances.

III. 500kHz High-speed Sampling

To accurately analyze the power of high-frequency signals such as PWM waveforms, measurement that complies with the sampling theorem is required to avoid signal aliasing distortion. PF510 features 500kHz high-speed sampling, enabling accurate analysis of 200kHz frequency signals.

IV. Displacement Factor Measurement

It can directly measure displacement factor, also known as fundamental power factor, which equals the fundamental active power divided by the product of the RMS values of fundamental voltage and fundamental current.

V. Auto Range and Range Jump Function

Normally, measurement range is fixed in integration mode. However, if the input voltage or current exceeds the maximum value of the selected range, measurement will fail and re-testing with a higher range is required. PF510 can automatically and quickly switch ranges in integration mode, and supports specified range jump, ensuring measurement accuracy and continuity.

VI. Automatic Data Update Rate

When measuring products with large frequency variation, a fixed data update rate may cause measurement errors due to mismatch with the input signal. By selecting the "AUTO" mode, the data update rate is automatically adjusted to capture input signals with frequency fluctuations, such as motor input signals. It can cover frequencies as low as 0.1Hz. It automatically detects the period of the input signal and performs accurate measurement

VII. Compact Size

It features a compact size with 2U height, allowing two PF510 units to be easily installed side by side in a standard rack for convenient system integration
