Energia 

With more than 40 years of experience in designing and developing test equipment for the energy industry, HBK is a market-leading supplier.

First, test instrumentation for the energy market needs to be safe. And it needs to adapt to stringent voltage and current requirements. Moreover, it must be able to record everything from lightning impacts to long-term trends in grid stability. Our vast product portfolio includes “lightning-fast” transient recorders for impulse and switchgear testing by relevant standards.

Our power analyzers bridge the gap between electrical and mechanical testing. They meet the needs of a dynamic and electrical environment. The most powerful of these products offer uncompromised fiber-optical-based isolation to guarantee user safety, signal integrity, and remote operation capabilities. 

Feeding and maintaining a power grid is demanding. Be it a nationwide 50/60 Hz setup or a DC microgrid on board a plane or vessel.

Our products monitor power quality by all relevant standards like the IEC61000-4-7. Or they can be used for repetitive testing to ensure the safety of nuclear or conventional power plants. The reporting capabilities of our software packages are key here. Automatically generated test reports are proof of properly working components – or their failure.

Time is money, especially when the grid or parts of it are down. Troubleshooting in the energy market is a demanding task.

Instruments need to withstand potential overvoltage and still survive and protect the user. That is why our products are certified to up to 1000 V CAT IV, the highest standard available. And when it comes to catching the “once-in-a-lifetime event” to understand malfunctions, our scalable hardware-based trigger and recording capabilities ensure you get the data you need to resolve your problem. It also enables you to recognize upcoming problems and take preventive action.
