Renting or Buying Data Acquisition Instruments: Which Is Better?

Renting test instruments reduces upfront costs, speeds up access to the latest DAQ technology, and gives engineering teams flexibility for short-term testing, validation, and peak workloads. Buying is more cost-effective for permanent or daily use, especially in production environments. Dewesoft highlights a hybrid rent-and-buy strategy as the most practical approach for balancing cost, scalability, and long-term testing needs.

Supraharmonics in Modern Power Grids: A Power Quality Challenge

Supraharmonics, high-frequency disturbances between 2 kHz and 150 kHz, are an emerging power quality challenge in modern grids driven by widespread use of power electronic devices such as EV chargers and inverters. Unlike traditional harmonics, they are non-synchronous and harder to measure, yet can cause significant voltage distortion, equipment stress, and system instability. Addressing them requires advanced measurement tools, deeper analysis, and new standards.
