HBM QuantumX MX403B voltage module suits electrical test measurement

The QuantumX MX403B isolated voltage module by HBM, available from Durham Instruments

HBM Test and Measurement is a world-renowned manufacturer of innovative measuring solutions, available in Canada from Durham Instruments. For demanding, dynamic measurement tasks in laboratories, test benches, and mobile applications in several industries, HBM makes the QuantumX MX403B isolated voltage module, offering high-resolution voltage measurement at up to 100 kilo-samples per second.

The QuantumX MX403B acquires electric voltages and (with a plug-on burden) current with an accuracy class of 0.5.

Highest level of safety

This voltage module offers the highest safety level while complying with the IEC 61010 measuring-instrument standard. Users can configure the four electrically isolated measurement inputs individually. Due to high resolution and three measuring ranges that can be parameterized freely, the device covers a wide range of applications with energy consumption from zero to 1,000 volts.

The QuantumX MX403B is especially useful for testing and analyzing electric actuators like pumps, drives for mobile or stationary operations, and energy-storage devices or generators. Users can distribute and use the modules directly at the measuring point, in a synchronous way, and without any loss even over long distances, because of digital data transfer.

The device integrates easily with the QuantumX family and allows synchronous acquirement and analysis of all electrical, mechanical, and thermal measurement quantities and CAN bus signals in the PC software. Combining the voltage module with the QuantumX MX403B digital impulse and frequency module and HBM torque transducers enables complex energy balances, and users can integrate the measurement information in parallel and real time.

Other notable features of this module:

• Ethernet and FireWire ports;
• High-resolution signal conditioner, with 24-bit analog-to-digital converter;
• Detailed, precise results, owing to high sampling rates and digital data transfer;
• Freely selectable digital filters;
• Outstanding reliability;
• Safe measurement, even with high voltages; and
• Extensive range of accessories, like cables and clamps.

The QuantumX MX403B is particularly useful in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Durham Instruments recommends using it in general manufacturing, automation, food processing, forestry, education, the medical field, the military, mining, packaging, power generation, alternative energy, transportation, and research and development.
