I am building power supplies for different lighting applications: 230VAC in to 3, 4, 5 channels 24VDC out with PWM dimming.
I would like to test these by logging the input and output current, voltage and phase as well as the temperatures inside and outside of the housings.
I need to determine the systems efficiency and temperature-dependent behaviour (voltage drop, less power available, temp protection active etc...)
I could put a massive amount of voltage meters on the system and log those, but I am looking for a more professional solution.
I do not really know where to start.
What do I need, what do I have to take into account when building this.
The budget is preferably no more than 4-5000 euro
