A new precision power analyser has been added by Yokogawa to the company’s existing range of digital power measuring instruments.
The new device replaces the previous WT1600. The WT1800 offers innovative measurement functions which benefit the engineer with electrical power and efficiency measurements in a range of industries from inverter and drive design to alternative energy systems.
The analyser is capable of performing up to six power input measurements, which makes it possible to perform efficiency tests between the input and output of products such as inverters.
With its high-resolution 8.4-inch XGA display, the instrument is simple to set up and display up to 12 different pages of measurement items in formats such as numeric, waveforms and trends. A vector display is available for voltage and current phase analysis.
To measure waveforms accurately the device uses high-resolution 16-bit analogue-digital converters with a digitising rate of 2 MS/s (megasamples per second).
