A closer look at purpose-built power analyzers for precise EV test and measurement

Charged EVs

Q&A with EV measurement engineering experts Coty Harrison and Cristian Loris of Yokogawa Test&Measurement. When tasked with measuring the electrical power of complex systems like EVs, an inexperienced engineer may first reach for general instrumentation like oscilloscopes, data acquisition (DAQ) systems and digital multimeters (DMMs).
