Functions Measurement Modes The normal measurement mode on the WT3000 allows you to measure voltage, current, power, etc. If the advanced computation (/G6) option is installed, measurements can be performed in a mode specific to each of the functions listed below in addition to the normal measurement mode.
• Differences in the Harmonic Measurement of Each Measurement Mode In IEC harmonic measurement mode, limitation is placed on a portion of the functions of the WT3000 as compared with the harmonic measurement in normal measurement mode due to the measurement conditions and constraints in the standard. For details, see the table above.
Page 31
Element refers to a set of input terminals that can input a single phase of voltage and current to be measured. The WT3000 can contain up to four elements, which are numbered from 1 to 4. An element number is appended to the measurement function symbol for the measured data that the WT3000 displays, so that the correspondence between the numeric data and the element can be seen.
Page 32
“Measurement Period” on page 2-7. *1 The WT3000 samples the instantaneous values of the voltage and current signals at a specified sample rate . The sampled data is processed as numeric data or data used to display waveforms on the screen (waveform display data).
Page 33
Furthermore, the active power and frequency that are measured by the WT3000 and the motor output can be used to compute the motor efficiency and the total efficiency.
Page 34
2.2 Measurement Modes and Measurement Functions Measurement Period • Measurement Functions of Normal Measurement The measurement period varies depending on the data update rate (see section 2.3) as follows: • When the Data Update Rate Is 50 ms, 100 ms, 5 s, 10 s, or 20 s •...

ΣA or ΣB. For example, there are seven wiring system patterns on a WT3000 that has four input elements installed. • The input element assignment to wiring units ΣA or ΣB is determined from the wiring system pattern.
Page 36
2.3 Measurement Conditions Measurement Range «For procedures, see section 4.3.» Set the measurement range using an rms level. When directly applying voltage or current signals to the input element, two types of measurement ranges is available, fixed range and auto range. When waveforms are displayed, the vertical display range corresponds to 3 or 6 times the measurement range when the crest factor (see section 4.6) is set to 3 or 6, respectively.
Page 37
Rms value Input signal waveform The crest factor on the WT3000 is determined by the maximum peak value that can be applied for rated input in terms of a multiplication factor. Peak value that can be input Crest factor (CF) =...
Page 38
2.3 Measurement Conditions The crest factor can be set to 3 or 6 on the WT3000. The measurable crest factor is as follows: {measurement range × CF setting (3 or 6)} Crest factor (CF) = Measured value (rms value) * However, the peak value of the input signal must be less than or equal to the maximum allowable input.
Page 39
2.3 Measurement Conditions Averaging «For procedures, see section 4.9.» The averaging function is effective when reading of the numeric display is difficult due to fluctuations. This occurs when the fluctuation of the power supply or the load is large or when the input signal frequency is low.
Page 40
To capture relatively low frequency signals, select a slow data update rate. The WT3000 automatically selects the computing method from the two averaging computations below according to the data update rate. For details, see appendix 7.
Page 41
Power Measurement The measured data of voltage, current, power, and so on can be displayed by setting the screen to numeric display. By dividing the screen into top and bottom halves, waveform (section 2.7), trend (section 2.8), bar graph (section 2.8), waveform computation (section 2.9), and FFT (section 2.9) can be displayed simultaneously.

Page 43
Computation By using the data of measurement functions, the following computations can be performed. In addition, a function is provided in which the equation used to determine the measurement function data can be selected. User-Defined Functions «For procedures, see section 5.4.» Equations can be created (defined) by combining the measurement function symbols and operators.
Page 44
Because the equations for deriving the power for distorted waveforms are not defined, none of the equations can be said to be more correct than the other. Therefore, the WT3000 provides three equations for determining the apparent power and reactive power.
Page 45
2.5 Computation • TYPE 3 (The Method Used by Harmonic Measurement Mode on the WT1600 and PZ4000) The reactive power of each phase is calculated directly using equation (2). The three- phase apparent power is calculated using equation (4). This computing equation can be selected on models with the advanced computation (/G6) or harmonic measurement (/G5) option.
Page 46
2.5 Computation Phase Difference «For procedures, see section 5.10» The display format of the phase difference between the voltage and current of each element can be selected. With the voltage of each element as a reference, one format displays the phase difference using 360° in the clockwise direction, and the other format displays lead up to 180°...
Integration The WT3000 can integrate the active power (watt hour), the current (ampere hour), the apparent power (volt-ampere-hour), and the reactive power (var-hour). During integration, the measured and computed values of normal measurements can be displayed in addition to the watt hour, current hour, volt-ampere-hour, var-hour and integration time.
Page 48
2.6 Integration • Normal Integration Mode The integration time is set in relative time. The integration is stopped after the specified time elapses or when the integration value reaches the maximum or minimum integration display value. The integration time and value are held at that point.
Page 49
2.6 Integration • Real-Time Normal Integration Mode The date and time of start and stop of the integration operation are set. The integration is stopped at the specified time or when the integration value reaches the maximum or minimum integration display value. The integration time and value are held at that point.
Waveform Display The WT3000 displays waveforms based on the data sampled within the data update rate. Selecting the Waveform to Be Displayed «For procedures, see section 6.2.» You can select whether to show or hide the voltage and current waveforms of each input element.
Page 51
Waveform sampling data: Data derived by making an A/D conversion of the input signal The A/D conversion rate is approximately 200 kS/s on the WT3000. Therefore, if the data update rate is set to 1 s, the number of waveform sampling data points in a single measurement is approximately 200,000 for an input signal (see the figure below).
Page 52
• Retrieval of waveform display data The WT3000 retrieves waveform display data to the memory at a sampling rate of approximately 200 kS/s. The frequency that allows displaying of waveforms that are close to the input signal is up to approximately 10 kHz.
Page 53
2.7 Waveform Display Trigger «For procedures, see section 6.4.» A trigger is a cue used to display the waveform on the screen. The trigger is activated when the specified trigger condition is met. At this point, the waveform is ready to be displayed on the screen.

Trend, Bar Graph, and Vector Displays Trends of each measurement function, bar graphs of harmonics of each order, and vectors of the fundamental signal of each element (when using the harmonic measurement option) can be displayed. Trend display The trends of all measurement functions that are measured during normal measurement and harmonic measurement are displayed.
Page 58
2.8 Trend, Bar Graph, and Vector Displays Bar Graph Display of Harmonic Data «See the Expansion Function User’s Manual IM760301-51E .» On models with the advanced computation (/G6) or harmonic measurement (/G5) option, the amplitude of each harmonic can be displayed on the bar graph. The horizontal axis represents harmonic order, and the vertical axis represents the amplitude of each harmonic.
Waveform Computation and FFT Waveform Computation «See the Expansion Function User’s Manual IM760301-51E .» Various computations can be performed on the waveform data of the input signal on models with the advanced computation (/G6) option. For example, the waveform data of the voltage and current input signals can be multiplied together to display the waveform of instantaneous power.
2.10 Voltage Fluctuation and Flicker and Cycle-by- Cycle Measurements Voltage Fluctuation and Flicker Measurement Expansion Function User’s Manual IM760301-51E .» Voltage fluctuation and flicker measurements conforming to IEC61000-3-3 can be performed on models with the voltage fluctuation and flicker measurement (/FL) option.

The FTP server function can be used when a PC card or USB storage is connected to the WT3000.
Page 63
Zero-Level Compensation «For procedures, see section 10.1.» Zero-level compensation refers to creating a zero input condition inside the WT3000 and setting the level at that point as the zero level. Zero-level compensation must be performed in order to satisfy the specifications of this instrument (see chapter 12).
Page 64
NULL values. Selecting the Sampling Frequency «For procedures, see section 10.3.» The WT3000 has three types of sampling frequencies at approximately 200 kHz to prevent the input waveform from being measured as a DC signal due to aliasing (see section 2.7).

Appendix 4 Power Basics (Power, Harmonics, and RLC of AC Circuits) This chapter describes the basics of power, harmonic, and RLC of AC circuits. Power Electrical energy is converted into other types of energy for use such as in the form of heat for electrical heaters and furnaces, turning force for motors, and light for fluorescent lamps or mercury lamps.
Page 349
Appendix 4 Power Basics (Power, Harmonics, and RLC of AC Circuits) In the case of the mean value, simply taking the average over 1 period of the sine wave results in zero. Therefore, the average is taken over 1 period of absolute values. As with the rms value, if we denote the average value of the current of instantaneous values i = I sinωt as I...

Appendix 4 Power Basics (Power, Harmonics, and RLC of AC Circuits) • AC Power Because there is phase difference between the voltage and current due to the load, AC power cannot be determined as easily as DC power. If we denote the instantaneous voltage as u = U sinωt and the instantaneous current as i = I sin(ωt –...

Appendix 4 Power Basics (Power, Harmonics, and RLC of AC Circuits) • Active Power and Power Factor In alternating electrical current, not all of the power calculated by the product of voltage and current UI is consumed. The product UI is called apparent power S. The unit is VA (volt-ampere).
Page 353
Appendix 4 Power Basics (Power, Harmonics, and RLC of AC Circuits) Harmonics Harmonics refer to sine waves whose frequency is an integer multiple of the fundamental wave (normally sine waves of commercial frequency 50-Hz or 60-Hz) excluding the fundamental frequency. The input current that flows through the power rectification circuit, phase control circuit, and other circuits used in various electric and electronic equipment generate harmonic current or voltage on the power line.

Appendix 5 For Making Accurate Measurements Effects of Stray Capacitance The effects of stray capacitance on the measurement accuracy can be minimized by connecting the current input terminal of the instrument to the side that is close to the earth potential of the power source (SOURCE). The internal structure of the instrument is as follows: The voltage and current measurement circuits are each enclosed in shielded cases.
(see section 2.1). The measurement period is the integer multiple of this period. The WT3000 determines the measured values by taking the average of the sampled data in the measurement period. The selected input signal for defining the measurement period is called synchronization source.

(center of the amplitude) on the rising (or falling) slope. The measurement period on the WT3000 is between the first rising (or falling) zero crossing and the last rising (or falling) zero crossing in the data update interval.
Page 360
For the setup procedure of the frequency filter, see section 4.8. The WT3000 applies hysteresis to the zero crossing detection to reduce the effects of noise. If the synchronization source is distorted or harmonic or noise is superposed on...
Page 361
To facilitate this sort of configuration, the synchronization source setting on the WT3000 is linked to the Σ wiring unit of the wiring system (when the independent setting of input elements is OFF). If the independent setting of input elements (see section 4.2) is turned ON, the synchronization source of each input element in the Σ...

Appendix 6 Setting the Measurement Period • Setting the Synchronization Period When Measuring the Efficiency of a Power Conversion Device Power Transformer with Single-Phase Input and Single-Phase Output If a device that converts single-phase AC power to single-phase DC power is measured with input elements 1 and 2, set the synchronization source of input elements 1 and 2 to the voltage (or current) on the AC power end.

WT3000 to 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, or 2 s. Because the measured value is computed from the Exponential Average for Measuring Period method described on the next page, the period of the input signal does not need to be detected.
Page 364
Appendix 6 Setting the Measurement Period When the Data Update Rate Is Set to 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, or 2 s The measurement period is set equal to the data update interval. The measured values are determined by computing the average of all the sampled data in the data update interval through digital filtering.
Page 365
AC signals fluctuate repetitively when viewed instantaneously. The power of AC signals can be measured by taking the average of the repeating periods or computing the average by filtering the data of several periods. The WT3000 automatically selects the computing method from the two averaging computations above according to the data update interval.
