Tektronix, Inc., a provider of test and measurement solutions, has acquired EA Elektro-Automatik (EA), a principal supplier of high-power electronic test solutions.
The introduction of EA to the Tektronix team provides the company with expanded solutions, leveraging Tektronix’s oscilloscopes and isolated probes, EA’s high-efficiency power supplies and electronic loads, and Keithley’s high-precision source meters and instrumentation.
Combined, the Tektronix portfolio offers a unique set of capabilities for mobility, storage, and power electronics design needs, from ultra-low to ultra-high power.
“Our customers are facing challenges in delivering safe and reliable power electronics designs that incorporate new technologies, such as high energy density batteries, efficient electric motors, smart power inverters, and wide-bandgap semiconductors, for high power and performance to electrify industries and meet an ever-increasing energy demand to power our world,” said Markus Schyboll, CEO of EA Elektro-Automatik.
With the addition of EA solutions to the portfolio, Tektronix can offer solutions up to 3.8 MW with regenerative efficiency >96% to cover the full range of customer power needs. EA’s power supplies complement the Tektronix portfolio of scopes, probes, SMUs, and precision measurement instruments, allowing users to scale up in voltage to 2,000 V or current up to 64,000 A with a low-noise regenerative instrument to minimize added heat and EMI noise — ensuring the best possible testing when using Tektronix, Keithley, and EA-branded test and measurement products.
