Datasheet

The WT1800E power analyser from Yokogawa Europe introduces new standards of accuracy and flexibility in power measurement across a broad range of applications. Today’s energy conscious world is driving engineers towards an ever-increasing focus on energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Engineers seeking to improve their product through better energy management therefore need more accurate power measurement.

The WT1800E has been designed to be flexible enough to provide engineers with accurate and reliable power measurements for applications as demanding as the manufacture of energy efficient devices and appliances, plug-in hybrid/electric vehicles, lighting, aircraft and for renewable energy technologies. It can compare the input and output of motors, inverters, actuators, energy recovery systems and generators.

The analyser has been developed with six channels which means it can easily accommodate three-phase systems and other applications requiring multiple input channels.

Likewise, modern energy saving circuits employ high frequency switching techniques which challenge the accuracy of power analysers. The WT1800E has been designed to retain its outstanding accuracy at and beyond these frequencies.

Key features include guaranteed power accuracy of 0.05% of reading plus 0.05% of range and the instrument is capable of harmonics analysis up to the 500th order of a 50/60 Hz fundamental frequency.

It offers high levels of stability mean that measurements are consistent when repeated over the lifetime of the instrument.

The analyser has up to six input channels, a wide range of display and analysis featuresand PC connectivity.
