ENERGY STAR Power Measurements

The ENERGY STAR® program is designed to help businesses and individuals save money and protect the climate through superior energy efficiency. Measurements of standby, idle state, and sleep mode power may be required as well as the normal on mode power.

Tektronix power analyzers provide accurate measurements of both power and energy consumption in watt-hours (W-h). Simultaneous measurements of power, power factor, total harmonic distortion and harmonics are available, as required by ENERGY STAR. Features such as a color graphics display and 1- click set up help speed measurements while the included PWRVIEW PC software captures data for seamless analysis and reporting.

Recommended Equipment

PA1000 Series	Accurate and versatile single-phase power analyzer / wattmeter for power, energy and efficiency measurements on power supplies and any product connected to the AC line.
PA3000 Series	0.01% basic accuracy, multi-phase power analyzer. Measure voltage and current on up to four channels. Characterize watts, VA, VAR, watt-hours and harmonics.
PWRVIEW PC Software	Designed for power analyzers, the PWRVIEW PC software operates over USB or LAN and can be used to set up and log power analyzer measurements. This software includes IEC62301 Ed.2 compliance reporting and a virtual instrument so you can try it without an instrument connected.
