Testing times for power consumption
With a greater emphasis on energy conservation than at any time in our past, electrical equipment manufacturers not only have to monitor the power consumed by their products while in operation but also when in standby mode or even switched off.
The EuP Directive 2005/32/EC covers the eco-design requirements of energy using products (EuP). Regulations controlling the design of electrical products will soon become EU law; manufacturers will then have a short period of time to redesign their products and meet mandatory standards.
Hioki's Power HiTester 3332, 3333 and 3334 are ready to meet this monitoring requirement, measuring electrical power consumption under normal running conditions and in standby mode.
