Yokogawa WT230 Digital Power Meter

The Yokogawa WT230 is a compact, half-rack digital power meter engineered for precise AC and DC power measurements across a broad spectrum of applications. It delivers 0.1% basic accuracy on voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency measurements, with support for DC operation to 100 kHz and maximum assured accuracy to 26 A. The instrument integrates harmonic analysis, multi-mode integration (up to 10,000 hours), peak value capture, and MAX HOLD functions for both steady-state and intermittent load characterization. User calibration capability and external sensor input accommodate non-standard measurement scenarios. High-speed data acquisition—up to 10 readings per second—combined with selectable display update rates from 0.1 to 5 seconds enables real-time power quality assessment. Dual synchronization modes (voltage, current, or entire period) and configurable line and frequency filters (500 Hz cutoff) provide measurement flexibility across equipment types from low-frequency supplies to high-frequency inverters.
