Assessing Inverter Power Quality in Portable Power Stations for Sensitive Electronics
This white paper evaluates the inverter power quality of a portable power station using PMI's PQ Canvass system and a portable PQ analyzer. The study confirms that the inverter delivers a true sine-wave output with low total harmonic distortion (THD) and crest factor values within industry standards, both under no-load and typical load conditions. The inverter also reliably shuts down when overloaded, protecting connected devices. These findings validate the suitability of such power stations for sensitive electronics and highlight the importance of comprehensive power quality analysis.
Key topics include:
- Vendor Claims
- Testing Setup
- Analyze Inverter Without a Load
- Analyze Inverter With a 'Too Large' Load
- Analyze Inverter With a Load
Why utilities should care:
Understanding inverter power quality ensures reliable operation of sensitive electronics, prevents equipment damage, and verifies vendor claims. Comprehensive PQ analysis supports informed decisions about integrating portable power stations in critical or distributed energy applications.
