Overview
About GPM-8213 AC Power Meter
The GPM-8213 is an AC power meter that provides true RMS measurement of voltage, current, power, frequency, and power factor for single-phase AC systems. Designed for power consumption analysis, energy efficiency testing, and compliance verification, it delivers accurate readings on both sinusoidal and distorted waveforms commonly found in switch-mode power supplies and motor-driven loads.

Applications
The GPM-8213 is used for power consumption testing of consumer electronics, household appliances, lighting products, and small power supplies. True RMS measurement ensures accurate readings on non-sinusoidal current waveforms drawn by switch-mode converters, LED drivers, and motor controllers, waveforms where average-responding meters introduce significant measurement error.
Engineers use the GPM-8213 for energy efficiency verification, standby power measurement, and IEC compliance pre-screening during product development. The USB and RS-232C interfaces allow automated data logging and integration with LabVIEW or Python test scripts for production line power measurement.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
