PX8000: Transient Power Measurement for Welding Machines

Measurement of transient power at welding

The PX8000 includes pow erful function s for ev aluating the performan ce of welding machines i ncludin g time control (time

setting for flow of current), cur r ent c ontr ol ( contr ol bas ed on detected amperage value) , waveform control , and more. The

PX8000 Preci sion Pow er Scope can measur e t he transi ent pow er on the primary and secondar y sides at starting and running

of a wel ding mac hine to ev aluate these ty pes of performance. The curr ent can be entered di rectl y, enabling hi gh-accuracy

measureme nt of transient changes. This leads to more signific ant contributi ons to performance .

Example of voltage, current, and power measurements

When the cur sor is brought to an area wher e the current is flowing ,

the transi ent power for t hat ar ea can be calculated.

Note: This is an example only and is not the waveform for an ac tual welding machine.
