Wide voltage and current input ranges have the advantage o
f
extending the measurement application range. However, the downside is
t
hat the response time of the auto range tends to slow down. A range configuration function solves this problem.

Reduction of low power-factor error to 0.1% of apparent power (2

A power-
f
actor error is one o
f
the important elements to ensure high-accuracy measurements even at a low power
f
actor. The WT1800 has achieved a
power-factor error (0.1%) that is 2
/
3 of the previous model, in addition to a high basic power accuracy of ±0.1%
.

l
Dual harmonic measurement (option)
The industr
y
’s first two-line simultaneous harmonic measurement is available, in addition to simultaneous measurement of harmonic and
normal measurement items such as volta
g
e, current, and power values. Previously, harmonic measurements o
f
input and output si
g
nals
had to be performed separately. With the WT1800, harmonic measurements of input and output can be performed simultaneously.

For the

only a particular event. For example, a trigger can be set

and only data that meets the trigger condition can be stored, printed, or saved to a U

B memory device.
First in industry means functions and capabilities available for the first time in the high-precision three-phase power analyzers (according to Yokogawa’s survey).
