Join Us for a Day of Precision Power Testing Innovation at the British Motor Museum, April 21st 2026
Electrification, advanced motor control, and next-generation battery systems are reshaping automotive and power electronics design. Engineers must address growing complexity in measurement accuracy, bandwidth, and validation speed. The Precision in Power Conference, co-organised with Tektronix, will bring together industry experts for a full day of technical sessions and live demonstrations.
Tuesday, 21 April 2026
09:00 - 17:00
The British Motor Museum, Gaydon
Please note, you will be taken to the Tektronix website to complete your registration.
What You'll See In Action
This free, one-day event will offer a practical understanding of today’s engineering challenges and the tools required to solve them.
- Comparing advanced current measurement techniques
- RapidEIS battery testing and characterisation
- High-bandwidth current and voltage validation
- Test automation and motor simulation demos
The Impact of Phase Errors in Power Measurement
Power analysers are a key measurement device to validate the performance of designs, but frequency dependence of current sensing is becoming the cause of measurement errors. With the increasing use of SiC and GaN semiconductors in power electronics, switching frequencies have risen, which increases the impact of phase errors on accurate power measurement. This can lead to inconsistent power efficiency measurements and, in some cases, even efficiencies that exceed 100%.
To address this, Roy Hali, Senior Application Engineer at HIOKI Europe, will address what phase errors are, how they affect measurements, and what can be done to avoid them to achieve accurate and repeatable measurements.
Experience a Full Day of Insight, Innovation and Interaction
Beyond our featured session on phase errors in power measurement, the event will deliver a comprehensive programme designed to inform, inspire and connect. Industry experts from Tektronix will lead a series of in-depth technical presentations, sharing practical guidance on complex power electronics testing challenges and the advanced methodologies used to address them. Each session is structured to provide actionable insights that engineers and technical decision-makers can apply immediately within their own development and validation environments.
Delegates will also have access to a dedicated hands-on demonstration and networking area, where the latest test and measurement technologies will be available for live exploration. This interactive space is designed to bridge theory and practice, enabling attendees to:
- Engage directly with cutting-edge instrumentation
- Observe live demonstrations of advanced power analysis techniques
- Discuss real-world application challenges with technical specialists
- Gain practical understanding of system performance optimisation
This relaxed environment will enable attendees to connect with peers, exchange perspectives on emerging trends, and build relationships across the wider engineering community, with refreshments being served throughout the day.
