Power analyser measures inverter
functions
A new power analyser can handle a range of tasks, right up to determining the pertinent power parameters of a frequency inverter driven system.
Tinsley has introduced the 4106A power analyser that can be used for jobs as simple as measuring the power requirement of a coffee machine to a task as complex as determining the pertinent power parameters of a frequency inverter driven system Single- and three-phase versions are available and, unusual for an instrument at this price level, the 4106A will cope with the extreme signals generated by frequency inverter drives and will maintain accuracy regardless of input signal waveform

Economic resistance measurement instruments
Precision instrument specialist Tinsley has introduced a range of resistance measurement instruments providing high accuracy and reliability at an economic price.
More economic digital micro-ohmmeter launched
H.Tinsley has introduced the ZY9858 digital micro-ohmmeter with a 'rationalised' specification but able to meet most R and D, QA inspection, laboratory, production and test requirements
It has a large and bright display with 9mm high digits that can be easily read from a distance of up to 4m, even in darkened environments.
The user menu simplifies setup and operation.
Measured values can be printed, sent to a PC via IEEE/RS232 interfaces, or to a chart recorder via the analogue outputs.
Options can be chosen individually from a wide range so that customers can tailor the instrument to their specific requirements The analyser inputs are all galvanically isolated, are broadband DC-300kHz, have a wide input range (0.3-1000V, 15mA 40A) and feature common mode rejection for use in frequency inverter driven systems.
Accuracy is 0.1%, but 0.05% versions are available.
The LCD monitor displays up to 10 measured values and the three-phase variant provides up to 32 measured values on screen.
Waveforms, bargraphs or trend plots can be shown and the instrument can display a combination of meter mode and graphic mode.
With future developments, and when features are added to the 4106A, users will be able to obtain cost effective upgrades through Tinsley and its distributors.
The instrument is supplied with a traceable calibration certificate.
