| Breakout boxes for AC/DC power measument with analyzer |
| << < (2/2) |
| _Wim_:
This is my testbox I use with a Voltech PM6000 power analyzer and also just as a standalone in the power supply cable of the DUT. It has the option to measure with an internal shunt (voltage sensed via XLR) or with the external shunt installed in the PM6000. Some additional banana ports are added for other measurement purposes (for example across the "open" I can install a current probe for scoping) |

I make a DIY test fixture box with few bucks for my 66202 and WT310 the old CHROMA A662003 I feel more "friendly" than new A662022 |

AC breakout boxes are pretty popular. For DC applications it seems less popular because DC power is easier to measure. I think of adding DC breakout box just for convenience, as in some cases wiring gets tricky with 3 sets of connections - DUT, DC PSU and power meter. |

AC has standard connectors, at least in most countries. DC has a wide variety of connectors, from all kinds of barrel jacks, to various USB versions to proprietary connectors. That makes a breakout box less practical. If you have banana jack inputs and outputs, then you barely need a breakout box. You might as well plug the leads into the DMMs directly. |

Good points on DC aspect. I will compare difficulty of making DC breakout box vs making multiple non-standard connectors compatible with 4mm bananas. |
