Tektronix PA1000 Single-Phase Power Analyzer

The Tektronix PA1000 Single-Phase Power Analyzer delivers high-precision measurements across voltage, current, power, and harmonic domains for single-phase product testing. It meets international standards for power consumption compliance, including Energy Star™ and IEC 62301 standby power testing. The instrument captures transient behavior at 1 MS/s while detecting standby power levels as low as 5 mW, making it suitable for power supplies, LED lighting, consumer electronics, and household appliances.
