The Tektronix PA3000 Multi-Phase Power Analyzer measures power consumption, efficiency, and electrical performance across single and three-phase systems with 1–4 configurable channels. It delivers ±0.04% basic voltage and current accuracy, captures standby power down to 10 mW with 90 µA sensitivity, and performs harmonic analysis to the 100th order. Built for standards compliance including Level VI, EnergyStar, CEC, and IEC 62301, the PA3000 enables rapid validation of motor drives, battery chargers, wireless charging systems, and efficiency-critical devices across research, development, and production environments.
