Overview

The UNI-T UTE310 Series is a single-phase high-resolution digital power meter for precision power-conversion and energy-measurement work. It samples at 1 MSa/s across a DC to 300 kHz bandwidth and resolves current to 0.1 µA and voltage to 1 mV — fine enough to measure milliwatt standby draw and the switching content that an AC line meter averages away.

Four models share one measurement platform. The base UTE310 covers 75mV – 600V / 5mA – 20A from a 75 mW floor; the high-voltage UTE310H extends to 75mV – 1000V / 10mA – 50A for high-line and high-power work. Either is available with GPIB in place of RS-232 (G/HG) for instrument-bus automation. Sampling, resolution, bandwidth, harmonic analysis and the measurement firmware are identical across all four.

Choosing Your Model — UTE310 Series

The UTE310 name spans four models on one platform. They differ only by voltage/current range and communication interface — the 1 MSa/s sampling, 0.1 µA current resolution, DC–300 kHz bandwidth, 50th-order harmonic analysis and energy integration are identical. Compare the full series before selecting:

Choose the voltage class that covers your line (600 V base, 1000 V on the H models) and the interface your bench uses.

The UTE310 is the high-resolution single-phase instrument in the line. For three-phase or multi-rail measurement see the 3-channel UTE323 Series; for compact AC panel metering see the UTE9800+ Series — distinct instrument lines for different measurement needs.

UNI-T UTE310 Series Details

GPIB in Place of RS-232 — UTE310G / UTE310HG

The G and HG models substitute a GPIB (IEEE-488) port for the RS-232 port — they do not add GPIB alongside it. If your ATE rack is built on a GPIB instrument bus, the G/HG models drop in directly; if you automate over LAN or USB (standard on every model), the base UTE310 / UTE310H already covers you and the G/HG variant is unnecessary. USB, LAN and Digital I/O are present on all four models regardless.

Voltage Class — UTE310 / G (600 V) and UTE310H / HG (1000 V)

The base UTE310 / UTE310G measure to 75mV – 600V and 5mA – 20A. The UTE310H / UTE310HG extend to 75mV – 1000V and 10mA – 50A for high-line, high-power and three-phase-leg measurement. The measurement engine is identical — the H models change the input range and front end, nothing else.

Applications

Switching-Supply & Converter Efficiency

Measure input and output true power on SMPS, DC/DC and PFC stages to calculate efficiency directly. The 1 MSa/s / 300 kHz front end keeps switching content in the measurement instead of averaging it out.

Motor-Drive & Inverter Input Power

The 1000 V / 50 A range on the UTE310H covers VFD and inverter input measurement; harmonic analysis quantifies the distortion a non-linear front end pushes back onto the line.

Automated Characterization

USB and LAN are standard on every model for LabVIEW / Python-VISA sweeps over load and line; the G/HG models add GPIB for GPIB-based instrument-bus racks. Digital I/O supports pass/fail hand-off in end-of-line test.

Accessories and Family Options

UTE-series test cables and the UTE-M01-US North-American test fixture support safe connection to standard plug loads. Pair the UTE310 with a UNI-T programmable DC source or electronic load for a complete efficiency-characterization bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between UTE310 and UTE310H?

Range. The UTE310 measures to 75mV – 600V / 5mA – 20A; the UTE310H extends to 75mV – 1000V / 10mA – 50A. The measurement engine, accuracy, sampling and firmware are identical.

Do the G and HG models add GPIB on top of RS-232?

No — they substitute GPIB for the RS-232 port. USB, LAN and Digital I/O are present on every model. If you automate over LAN or USB you do not need the G/HG variant.

Can it measure DC as well as AC power?

Yes. The measurement bandwidth is specified from DC, so DC, AC and mixed-mode power are all measured.

Does it measure harmonics?

Yes — per-order harmonic analysis to the 50th order, for power-quality and compliance work.
