Energy efficiency is vital for the development of electric vehicles, especially in inverter and motor design. Even marginal efficiency gains, such as precise 0.1% improvements, can significantly enhance vehicle range and overall performance. However, developers face challenges with traditional power analyzers, including inaccuracies due to discrepancies between simulations and actual data, prolonged averaging times that delay motor testing, and inconsistent measurement results from complex, high-frequency waveforms.
