Introducing the Dewesoft Power Analyzer: not just the world's smallest and most flexible power analyzer, but also the most powerful. It seamlessly merges a versatile hardware platform with robust software features, opening up a realm of unique testing possibilities for all your electrical measurement needs.
The system calculates over 100 power parameters, including P, Q, S, PF, and cos phi. It also offers full raw data recording capabilities, as well as features like an oscilloscope, FFT, and harmonics analysis. These calculations can be performed both online and in post-processing.
Dewesoft power analyzers feature plug-and-play capabilities with the award-winning Dewesoft X software. The hardware and sensors are automatically detected. Simply select the input channels and power parameters you want to calculate, and the power analyzer module takes care of the rest.
Dewesoft power analyzer hardware includes high-speed amplifiers that offer sampling rates of up to 15 MS/s per channel. These amplifiers use SAR analog-to-digital converters with built-in hardware filtering capabilities.
The "worry-free" solution provides isolation on the sensor side (channel-to-ground), channel-to-channel, and even isolated sensor excitation. It also provides less noise, no ground loops, and the best signal quality.
We offer and support all types of current sensors, such as zero-flux current transducers, AC/DC current clamps, Rogowsky coils, and shunts. These sensors are true RMS sensors available in a variety of models and are powered directly by our power analyzers.
Our power analyzer can be configured with up to 64 channels in a single chassis solution. For applications with higher channel count requirements, multiple measurement instruments can be synchronized.
DewesoftX measurement software offers an easy-to-use signal processing engine. Math can be applied in real-time during measurement or post-processing. Our power analyzers store raw data so all calculations can be recalculated in post-processing, after the measurement.
Every Dewesoft data acquisition system is bundled with award-winning DewesoftX data acquisition software. The software is easy to use but very rich and deep in functionality. All software updates are free forever with no hidden licensing or yearly maintenance fees.

Dewesoft power meters offer numerous benefits compared to conventional power analyzers. They provide a highly flexible solution for electrical and mechanical power measurements, combined with power quality analysis capabilities, making them the perfect choice for comprehensive power analysis.
Multi-Functional Device: Dewesodt power analyzers combine the functionality of a power analyzer, combustion analyzer, oscilloscope, raw data logger, spectrum analyzer, and CAN logger in a single device.
Portable and Modular System: Our portable power analyzers are battery-powered and feature an integrated LED display, a fast CPU, and SSD storage, making them fully portable and standalone. Modular systems can easily be distributed and offer convenient setup for test benches and lab use. All power analyzers are expandable to hundreds of I/O channels.
Integrated Sensor Power Supply: We provide power for sensors such as current transducers directly from our power analyzers, eliminating the need for an external sensor excitation source.
For precise power analysis, highly accurate voltage and current amplifiers are essential. SIRIUS amplifiers, with their high sampling rates and integration into both high and low-voltage inputs, set new standards in measurement accuracy. These amplifiers boast a basic accuracy of 0.03% of reading from DC to 1 kHz. This level of precision is unique in the power analyzer market, particularly crucial for variable frequency drives where achieving the highest possible accuracy is necessary for all measurements.
Unlike other manufacturers, which often focus solely on accuracy at line frequencies (50/60 Hz), Dewesoft ensures superior performance across a broader frequency range. For a visual representation, refer to the grey line in the accompanying chart.
These connections can be measured with or without currents. Thanks to the modular construction of our measurement devices and the multiple synchronized power modules in our software, Dewesoft can also analyze 6, 7, 9, or 12-phase motors.
With Dewesoft power analyzer systems, you can measure multiple power systems simultaneously. For example, the Dewesoft R8D DAQ system can synchronously measure up to eight 3-phase systems. Additionally, it supports analysis at different frequencies (DC, 50 Hz, variable frequency) and wiring configurations (1-phase, 3-phase). It can also measure mechanical values like torque, speed, noise, temperature, and vibration in complete synchronization.
This feature is especially beneficial when measuring inverters. Inverter measurements can be tricky due to the PWM-modulated voltage signal, which makes it difficult to determine the correct period of time. On the other hand, the current signal is generally less distorted because of the high inductance in the motor coil.
The Dewesoft power analyzer can also function as a fault and transient recorder. Measuring the shortest transients is easy with the high sampling rates provided. Our SIRIUS XHS power analyzers excel in this area, especially with their 15 MS/s sampling speed amplifiers.
Math formulas can create combined trigger conditions for any measurement parameter. When a trigger event occurs, data is stored at a fast sampling rate with pre- and post-event time. Only reduced datasets (min, max, average, RMS) are stored for the remainder of the measurement, minimizing file size for long-term measurements.
All internal curves, such as filter response, are corrected inside the software. The Dewesoft sensor database includes correction curves for a variety of transducers, including iron-core clamps, AC/DC clamps, Rogowski coils, and grid current and voltage transducers.
Current sensors can be powered directly from the signal amplifier. However, our higher accuracy sensors perform best when using our integrated SIRIUS MCTS power supply unit. The MCTS power supply slice can be integrated in two ways:
In physics, power is the rate of doing work. It is equivalent to an amount of energy consumed per unit of time. The unit for power is Joule per second [J/s], also known as Watt [W]. The integral of power over time defines the energy (performed work). The power of an electrical system is calculated by multiplying the voltage with the current.
Measuring DC power is not as complicated, as the voltage and current are constant, so there is no frequency and the time interval for the integration just defines the average interval of the power calculation.
To measure AC systems the periodic time needs to be known. This cannot be done by taking the normal grid frequency (e.g. 50 Hz) as a constant, due to the fact that the grid frequency is ever changing depending on the balance of the energy supply and the electric load at that exact moment.
Dewesoft calculates power in the frequency domain. With the predetermined period time, an FFT analysis for voltage and current is done for a definable number of periods (typically 10, with electrical applications) and a definable sampling rate. The FFT yields an amplitude for the voltage, current, and cos phi for each harmonic. One major benefit of this FFT transformation is that the behavior of amplifiers, current or voltage transducers in amplitude and phase for the whole frequency range (using the Sensor XML) can now be corrected.
There are predefined measurement configurations for DC, Single phase, 2-phase, and various 3-phase configurations (Star, Delta, Aron, V-Connection, 3-phase 2-meter) already available in the Dewesoft X software, for higher phases single-phase measurements can be used, and using the mathematics module be added together for totals.
When measuring inverters always use high-speed amplifiers as the voltage is modulated with switching frequencies up to several hundred kHz, also ensure to use current sensors with high bandwidth capabilities as well as make sure they are capable to measure both DC and AC currents. Do not forget to set the current as of the frequency source and use either a star or delta connection. Never use an Aron or a V-connection for such measurements.
