Yokogawa WT300 Power Analyzer

In its continuous drive to achieve perfection in its test equipment technology, Yokogawa has produced the WT300 Power Analyzer, a tool which they claim to be the perfect test and measurement tool for product efficiency testing, engineering and R&D work on inverters, motor drives, lighting systems and electronic ballasts, UPS systems, aircraft power systems, transformer testing and other power conversion devices.

It is said that in this equipment Yokogawa has designed for a tool that has a capacity to give “highly precise and simultaneously measurements of the power conversion efficiency” and an enhanced “equipment evaluation efficiency”—a tool that can do simultaneous power evaluations and tests easier, faster and yet render more accurate reading. Yokogawa WT300 Power Analyzer is said to be equipped with a superior stability and precision as a test instrument and provides higher-accuracy measurement of I/O efficiency, having a basic accuracy of 0.01% of reading and 0.02% basic power accuracy. It features an advanced computation function including waveform computation, FFT analysis, waveform sampling data daving. It can do a simultaneous measurement with 2 units (8 power input elements) and has a 50 minutes data storing interval. As already mentioned, the company believes this tool to be the highest-precision power analyzer.

This tool is fairly easy enough to use, with its large 8.4-inch liquid crystal display and the range indicator LEDs that facilitates for a good readability. Its interface has a GP-IB, Ethernet, RS-232 and USB.

They say it is much better than the WT200, which was widely relied on for the aforementioned measurement applications. The Yokogawa WT300 Power Analyzer is designed around the measurement technology used in WT200 and the other WT series models, added with more functionalities. These tool must be configured with up to four elements into 760301 (1 Element), Yokogawa 760302 (2 Element), Yokogawa 760303 (3 Element), and Yokogawa 760304(4 Element).

  1. This sounds like a great device that could help maintain much more efficient appliances. As with any device such as a natural gas leak detector it is important to recognize problems early on.
