　　What is a power meter/power analyzer used for? 　　Electric energy, after being converted, can be transformed into various forms of energy such as heat in electric heaters or furnaces, rotational force in engines, and light energy in fluorescent or mercury lamps. 　　A measuring device used to measure the electrical power of electrical equipment is called a power meter or power analyzer. 　　By using a power analyzer, imperceptible electrical power signals can be converted into values that are visible to the eye (electrical power values), allowing one to determine whether these values are increasing or decreasing. This enables an assessment of the performance of electrical appliances as well as their energy-saving efficiency. 　　When developing and evaluating power-consuming products, a power analyzer is an essential measuring instrument.
