In Lighting Drive Circuit

In recent years, fluorescent and incandescent lamps have been gradually replaced by longer-life, lower-energy LED lamps. In order to further improve the efficiency of LEDs, engineers are working to improve the power conversion efficiency of LED driver circuits (drive modules). Engineers need to measure the electrical parameters of the drive circuit.

Flexible display form, displayed independently or in combination

  • Data such as values, waveforms, trends, harmonic lists, etc. can be displayed. It can also display the combination of “Value + Waveform”, “Value + Trend”, etc., while viewing the values, it is also possible to check the dynamics of each parameter.

Harmonics and dual harmonics

  • Fundamental frequency of WT5000 is from 0.1Hz up to 300kHz.
  • Max. order of harmonics: 500th order
  • Simultaneously measure harmonic parameters on two different fundamental frequencies.
