Product overview
The R&S®NPA series of single-phase power analyzers is a compact, all-round instrument built for characterizing AC/DC loads and standby current, with a basic accuracy of 0.05 % and low-current measurement down to 5 mA. Graphical analysis and compliance evaluation are built in, 26 key parameters are shown at once, and harmonics analysis and regulatory compliance testing run in the instrument with no external software. A 500 ksample/s sampling rate and a 100 ms update rate lift throughput on the production line and in development alike. The series comes with USB-TMC, USB-CDC and LAN remote control interfaces, for development, production and quality assurance.
Key features
- Power measurement range 50 µW – 12 kW with DC – 100 kHz bandwidth, covering a wide span of power electronics testing
- 0.05 % basic accuracy and a 500 ksample/s sampling rate, for accurate results at speed
- In-device graphical analysis and regulatory compliance evaluation, supporting IEC 62301, EN 50564 and EN 61000-3-2
- 26 key electrical parameters displayed at once, including harmonics analysis (voltage and current RMS values and phase angles up to the 50th harmonic)
- Three switchable crest factor settings, plus autoranging to keep test times down
- Frequency and adaptive filtering suppress noise and keep readings smooth and accurate
- USB-TMC, USB-CDC (virtual COM) and LAN remote control as standard; IEEE-488 (GPIB) optional
- Compact housing, with an optional 19" 2U rack kit for automated production lines
Typical applications
- Electronics development (R&D): efficiency analysis of AC/DC power supplies and power converters
- Production-line testing: a fast test cycle (100 ms update rate) holds quality control at high throughput
- Quality assurance (QA): standby power compliance verification to IEC 62301 / EN 50564
- Harmonic current compliance testing to EN 61000-3-2, for household appliances, industrial equipment and lighting
- Electrical safety approval testing: automated compliance evaluation reports (NPA701 / NPA701-G)
