Motor Drive Analyzer

Simplify troubleshooting on complex motor drives with guided test sequences and automated drive measurements that deliver reliable, repeatable measurement results.

The MDA-510 and MDA-550 motor drive analyzers save time and simplify the setup of complex measurements, while also streamlining the troubleshooting process for variable frequency drives. Simply select a test, and the step-by-step instructions show you where to make connections for voltage and current measurements. The preset measurement profiles ensure you capture all the necessary data for every critical section of the motor drive – from input to output, from the DC link to the motor itself. The MDA-500 series provides everything you need, from basic to advanced measurements. These instruments are equipped with a built-in report generator, allowing you to quickly and easily create reports on the condition before and after troubleshooting.

The MDA-510 and MDA-550 are the ideal portable measuring instruments for analyzing motor drives and help you to find and fix typical faults in systems of motor drives with frequency converter control.

• Measuring essential parameters of motor drives such as voltage, current, DC bus voltage and AC ripple voltage, voltage and current imbalance and harmonics (MDA-550), voltage modulation and motor shaft leakage currents (MDA-550).
• Extensive measurements of harmonics to determine the effects of low and high order harmonics on the power supply system.
• Guided measurements at the motor drive input, DC bus, drive output, motor input and shaft (MDA-550), with step-by-step illustrated instructions for voltage and current connections.
• Simplified measurement settings with preset measurement profiles for automatic triggering of data acquisition, based on the selected test procedure.
• Quick and easy report creation for perfect documentation of troubleshooting and for collaboration with others.
• Measuring additional electrical parameters using the extensive functionality of a 500 MHz oscilloscope, a measuring instrument and data recording system for measuring all electrical and electronic parameters of industrial systems.
