As power systems grow more compact, efficient, and high-speed, accurate power measurement becomes both more complex and more critical. In this expert-led session from Tektronix and Electro Rent, you’ll learn how to simplify and automate the testing of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and modern power architectures using the Tektronix MSO 4/5/6B oscilloscope platforms and 4/5/6-PWR analysis software.

Key Topics Covered

• Trends in power electronics, motor drives, and energy storage
• Measurement techniques for each stage of SMPS:
  • Input stage: Power quality, harmonics, inrush current, input capacitance
  • Switching stage: Switching loss, safe operating area (SOA)
  • Magnetics: Core saturation and BH curves
  • Output stage: Ripple and efficiency
• Equipment recommendations including oscilloscope selection, probe types, and the importance of signal integrity
• See how to make automated measurements for better accuracy, repeatability, and insight
