LeCroy founded in 1964 by Walter LeCroy Origins are high speed digitizers for particle physics
research Teledyne LeCroy corporate headquarters is located in
Chestnut Ridge, NY Teledyne LeCroy has the most advanced technology
and widest line of Real-Time digital oscilloscopes (from 40 MHz to 100 GHz)
Long History of Innovation in Digital Oscilloscopes Teledyne LeCroy became the world leader in
protocol analysis with the purchase of CATC and Catalyst, and creating a protocol analyzer division based in Santa Clara, CA.
In August 2012, LeCroy was acquired by Teledyne Technologies and was renamed Teledyne LeCroy

Defining “Power” Can Be Like Blind Men Describing an Elephant…
Engineers can mean many different things when they say “power”
In the next three slides, we’ll define our “power” focus for this presentation…

“Power” Definitions These are just a few of them… Utility, Grid, Household, Line, Power Line, Mains “Power”
This is the 50/60 Hz sinusoidal voltage/current power flowing to your home or business, measured by a kWh meter
Power Semiconductor Device “Power” This is the power consumed by the power semiconductor MOSFET or IGBT device during switching,
conduction, or OFF states

“Power” Overview: 100 years in 7 slides
March 3, 2016 11
Generation, Transmission & Distribution (GT&D) and Consumption of Power
First - Electricity is Generated Stationary Generators
Utility centralized “generating plants” Distributed Generation (DG) (DC inverted to AC)
Then – Electricity is Transmitted and Distributed to
Homes Commercial Locations Industrial Users
Finally – Power is Consumed
Directly from the utility AC (50/60 Hz) line (no power conversion) Via AC-AC conversion (variable frequency drives) Via AC-DC conversion (“switch-mode” power supplies) Via DC-AC conversion (inverters) Via DC-DC conversion (converters)
March 3, 2016 12
Historical Generation, Transmission & Distribution System (GT&D) Large generation inefficiencies, high T&D losses
Centralized power generation, utility delivery to customer Overall power delivery efficiency = 32%
Generation input/output efficiency = 35% (1 BTU in = 0.35 BTU out) T&D efficiency = 93% (0.35 BTU in = 0.32 BTU out)
7% losses in T&D system components, e.g. Step-up, Power, Substation, and Distribution transformers Power Cables
March 3, 2016 13
Transmission & Distribution System Loss Measurements T&D equipment suppliers would validate equipment losses prior to shipment to utility
Transformer power frequency loss measurements 50 or 60 Hz Load (Copper, or I2R) Losses Excitation (Core) Losses Efficiencies

Power Consumption – Motors Motors have represented the largest single opportunity to reduce energy consumption
45% of worldwide delivered electricity is consumed by electric motors 9% of this by small motors
Up to 750W (90% of motors) AC Induction, BLDC, PMSM
68% of this by medium motors Up to 375 kW (9.9% of motors) Mostly AC Induction
23% of this by large motors Up to 1000 kW (0.03% of motors) AC Induction
Motors were essentially only line-powered prior to the 1990s Power semiconductor-based “drives”
revolutionized motor speed and torque control
Various government mandates were enacted to increase motor efficiency

Power Analyzer
Traditional “AC Power Analyzers” Only calculate “static” (steady-state)
“mean” power values Some don’t integrate motor torque and
speed data (mechanical power)
General-purpose 4ch, 8-bit scopes don’t have enough channels or resolution for three-phase systems
Motor Drive Analyzers perform every function Static (steady-state) “mean value” power
tables, like a power analyzer Dynamic (transient) power analysis Complete embedded control debug (i.e. it
is a fully-functional oscilloscope) Viewing 3-phase waveform systems High SR, BW, Memory MSO Serial Trigger & Decode
