“Measurements in Modern Power Electronics“ with Jörg Latzel of Yokogawa Germany

1 Jun 2024

In episode 10 of the PCIM Podcast, Jörg Latzel, Sales Manager, Yokogawa Germany, talks about the relevance of different measurement types for different test challenges, the attention to detail that ensures accuracy, and the importance of understanding the needs of real applications.

In the race to improve efficiency, the range of measurements for today's power electronics all need accuracy and reliability, starting from the shunt design, all the way to the data acquisition. Even in a world that is often driven by software developments, no measurement can be better than the measurement hardware. 

Jörg Latzel discusses how developing leading measurement principles and best-in-class shunt technology remains at the core of Yokogawa's vision for accuracy, guided by experience and closeness to customers.
