Tutorial 1 — Walks through initial power-up of the PPA, covering frequency measurement and synchronisation, and the configuration of an external current shunt (HF003 3A) including changes required in the coupling menu.
Tutorial 2 — Configuration and setup for measuring AC motor drive efficiency. Covers a single-phase to three-phase variable speed drive, with input power on the PPA1500 and three-phase output power on the PPA5500, synchronised via PPALoG software.
Tutorial 2a — In-depth extension of Tutorial 2, covering inverter drive efficiency in detail. Demonstrates synchronising multiple PPAs within PPALoG, scalable up to 4× three-phase instruments (12 phases total).
Tutorial 3 — Guidance for standby power measurement to EN50564 / IEC62301, including complete instrument setup and purchasing considerations.
Tutorial 4 — Setup of the PPA1500 for AC/DC converter efficiency measurement, including real-time efficiency calculation on the display and correct frequency synchronisation for DC power measurements.
