Evaluation of the Efficiency of Solar Inverters That Support High-Voltage Input
Issues
Energy losses can be reduced by transmitting power at high voltages. To boost the efficiency of power generation systems, the use of solar inverters that support high-voltage input is on the rise. It is necessary to measure high voltages to measure the efficiency of those devices.

(Measurement Example) Efficiency Measurement of Solar Inverters
The VT1005 can be used with a power analyzer PW8001 to measure the efficiency of inverters that use SiC power devices.
High-Voltage Measurements
The VT1005 allows power analyzers to measure voltages of up to 5000 V.
Measurement Category
- 5000 V rms (±7100 Vpeak) No measurement category
- 2000 V rms CAT II
- 1500 V rms CAT III
Measurement of High-Frequency Components
The VT1005’s measurement band is DC to 4 MHz, allowing it to measure voltage from DC to high frequencies.In addition, the excellent flatness of the amplitude and phase characteristics in the measurement band enables highly accurate power measurement.
