Testing & Power Supply

About Measurement & Power Supply

In measuring technology for use in industry and trade, devices are used that measure different physical quantities.

This includes parameters such as electrical current, voltage, resistors or frequencies. Variables such as force, pressure and sound can be measured as well as the temperature of elements and environments. Gases, liquids and electromagnetic fields also capture suitable devices very precisely. 

Various measuring instruments are available in the Conrad shop for carrying out these measurements or for displaying and setting values and signals. We distinguish between mobile and stationary measuring devices. Handheld devices are ideal for customer use or changing environments. Stationary measuring devices such as stand-alone devices and devices for connection to the PC are better suited for workshops and laboratories or for longer-term use.

Test equipment

From 2-pin voltage testers, line meters, earth and insulation meters to speed and vibration meters, you will find test and test equipment for various physical quantities.

There are hardness and material thickness test devices for material measurements and microscopes and endoscope cameras are available for optical inspection. 

Test telephones, VDE test devices and other special devices for the professional – with us you will find everything was needed.

Multimeter

Multimeters always measure current and voltage and the electrical resistance. Some devices in the Conrad range measure frequencies, capacitances of capacitors or additionally test the function of diodes or cables. 

In the Conrad range you will find multimeters in the types of hand-held multimeters for mobile use, table multimeters for workshop and laboratory environments as well as clamp-on ammeter multimeters. 

We offer multimeters for the following measurement categories:

• Cat I for circuits without connection to the mains
• Cat II for devices on low-voltage networks
• Cat III for measuring building installations
• Cat IV at transfer points to low-voltage installations, such as house connection boxes.

Laboratory equipment

Professional measuring instruments are used in laboratory and workshop environments, which are adapted to the special laboratory conditions. The laboratory measuring devices on the Conrad range include electronic loads, which represent a functional opposite to power sources. In addition, you will find function generators and frequency counters as well as logic analyzers for checking signal curves. Oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers map signals according to time or frequency ranges.

The laboratory measuring devices available from Conrad are supplemented by USB data acquisition modules and other accessories.

Environmental Testing Equipment

Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, radiation, sound and pollution are of great importance in measuring technology. Conrad offers an extensive range of anemometers, humidity and liquid measuring devices as well as devices for measuring gases and pollutant emissions in the area of environmental measuring instruments. Power and pressure measuring devices, devices of temperature measurement technology and those for the determination of electromagnetic quantities (such as electrosmog or radioactivity) can also be found in the shop.

Data loggers are a useful addition to the long-term recording of such measured data and the possibility of subsequent evaluation. They are part of some devices, and can be optionally connected to others.

PSUs

Probably the largest group of power supplies are the power supplies. This is not surprising, since many devices or even construction stages within devices and systems cannot be operated directly with 230 V/50 Hz alternating voltage.

In order to be able to offer the right solution for every application, we have power supplies in a wide variety of versions and in a wide range of power classes.

AC Regulators & Dimmers

When controlling motors, adjustable power supplies in the form of AC voltage controllers or dimmers provide perfect services.

Thus, electric motors can be continuously controlled in the speed or easily adjusted to the perfect working speed.

Lights and heating plates can also be operated in ideal way. But be careful: Not every AC regulator is suitable for every type of load.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

Contents of Excel tables, Word documents or other application programs are lost in seconds if the power fails. Annoying when the current status has not been saved.

Often a short voltage interruption is enough and the screen contents do not dissolve into anything. With an uninterruptible power supply, there is enough time to store the current data and thus avoid annoying data loss.

Mains Transformers

Power transformers are not only components of a power supply unit. They can also serve as a power supply alone and without additional external wiring. Such as for the power supply of LED lights for outdoor areas.

In addition to the voltage reduction, galvanic isolation and thus electrical safety are the main features of a transformer. For this reason, special isolating transformers are used for maintenance, service and laboratory. These are just a few examples of the wide range of transformer applications.

DC DC Converters & Inverters

Making a DC voltage with a lower value is technically quite simple.

It looks different if the output voltage has to be higher or even a 230 V AC voltage with sine-wave form is required.

If a high output power is required, it will be really time-consuming. But here too we have the right solution for every need.

Generator, Aggregates

A power outage that is at most perceived as unpleasant at home can be a disaster for craftsmen and traders.

How good if you can rely on a generator that will keep the main systems running at least.

This makes it easy to avoid the trouble and financial losses caused by loss of work and delays in deadlines.
