Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation has released its WT1800R high-performance power analyser to boost the efficiency of complex measurements for new energy applications.

The WT1800R is the only instrument in its class that guarantees a power accuracy of 0.05% of reading plus 0.05% of range, says Yokogawa, and it is capable of harmonics analysis up to the 500th order of a 50/60 Hz fundamental frequency.

With simultaneous, 16 bit measurements on up to six input channels at 2 MS/s, a wide range of display and analysis features through an enhanced display, and PC connectivity, the device is suitable for a broad range of power efficiency and harmonic analysis requirements.

Engineers can perform field-oriented control measurements, such as Vd/Vq and Id/Iq, and store the data directly to a network drive. Measurements can also be combined with results from other instruments.

The WT1800R power analyser was designed to support the development and production of high-efficiency new-energy technologies, combining measurement results with waveform-capturing instruments through the IS8000 software.

Whether analysing multi-phase inputs during motor and drive design, or meeting the stringent efficiency standards of photovoltaic inverters, the WT1800R provides the versatility to help engineers bring their product concepts to market with an easy to read colour scheme.
