Voltech
PM1000+
Precision Power Analyzer
Versatile, Accurate, Fully Featured and Easy-to-Use
• Easy to use.
• 0.1% basic accuracy.
• Special standby power, inrush, and W-hr integration modes.
• Comprehensive high-speed interfacing for automated use.
• Ideal for the design and test of all electrical products.
The No Compromise Power Analyzer
Driven by consumer demand and
energy efficiency legislation, tomorrow’s
electrical and electronic products must
operate with ever-greater efficiency and
employ increasingly complex control
methods such as a low-power standby
operation. The accurate measurement
of electrical power has never been more
important than it is today.
The Voltech PM1000+ is the first power
analyzer to combine bench instrument
accuracy with sophisticated energy
consumption features and low-power
standby measurements at an affordable
price. The PM1000+ measures power
consumption from milliwatts to
megawatts, providing accurate power
and harmonic data on products ranging
from the tiniest cell phone charger to the
latest electric hybrid bus.
Designed and built using over 20 years
of Voltech know-how. The PM1000+
is the most powerful, accurate, nocompromise power and energy analysis
tool for the design and test of tomorrow’s
products.
Features and benefits…
• Direct connection – no CT errors
• Accurate up to Crest Factors of 20 – no compromise
specification on distorted waveforms
• Rugged analog design-stands overloads up to 5kV
• Discrete Fourier Transform provides harmonics more
accurately than FFT
• Voltech proprietary frequency detection avoids
problems with zero crossing detection
• Built with low power standby in mind- no special
accessories or channels required
• High sample rate captures all the data and avoids
aliasing problems
• Full color clear and versatile display
• Great interfacing USB, IEEE, RS232
1986 The world’s first
digital power analyzer,
the Voltech PM1000.

Energy Measurement
The power consumption of everyday home and office
electrical appliances is of importance to consumers
and generators of electricity alike.
When the power consumption varies over time,
then integration of the power ( W-hr integration) is
required.
The PM1000+ provides comprehensive integration
features suitable for Energy Star measurements
and for low-power measurements in accordance
with international directives, eg. IEC 62301 which
also requires crest factor measurements up to 8
and 50 harmonics.
