- Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces that it has developed the next generation of precision power analyzers that offer exceptional measurement accuracy of ±0.03%. The WT5000 combines accuracy with stability, noise immunity and flexibility to meet the measurement needs of those who develop energy-efficient systems.
- In the rapidly evolving industry sectors of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and energy efficient technologies, the need for reliability in testing to enhance safety, efficiency and performance has never been greater. In the WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer, engineers have a versatile platform that delivers both reliable measurements for today’s needs and is flexible to meet the needs of tomorrow.Yokogawa developed the WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer to help satisfy evolving application requirements and ever-changing international standards that call for custom measurements and consistent accuracy.
- Exceptional measurement accuracy:
The WT5000 achieves the world’s highest measuring accuracy: ±0.03% at 50/60 Hz, allowing precision evaluation of power consumption, loss, and efficiency of electrical and electronic devices. The wide dynamic current range of the WT5000 is indispensable for testing energy-saving designs.One of the essential elements for determining the performance of a power measuring instrument is the A/D converter that performs analog-to-digital conversion. In order to obtain the world’s highest measurement accuracy, the WT5000 uses an 18-bit converter with a sampling frequency of 10 MS/s. This allows for precise capture of waveforms from the latest high-speed inverter devices while producing a stable measurement.
- Up to 7 Input Channel Modular Flexibility:
While the WT5000 has the same dimensions as existing models in Yokogawa’s WT series, it incorporates up to seven input channels, supporting applications that previously would have required synchronization of 2 multiple instruments. As a result, it offers considerable savings in installation space, communications overheads, and cost-effectiveness.Further benefits result from the use of plug-in modular input elements, which can be swapped directly by the user. The 30 A and 5 A elements can be switched for applications involving electric vehicles or fuel-cell vehicles, where developers are increasingly required to evaluate a number of different motors. Using the WT5000 equipped with the /MTR1 and /MTR2 options, it is possible to evaluate up to four motors simultaneously with one unit. These options support A, B, Z position signals from encoders as well as analog or pulse type signals from torque meters.
Harmonic measurements for multi-phase systems is greatly enhanced due to the 7 element input design. Simultaneous dual harmonic analysis can be performed up to the 500th order and up to a 300 kHz fundamental waveform. This enables measurement of the fundamental frequency from the rotational speed of the motor, while also checking the influence of the switching frequency from inverter drive.
- External sensor input function is fitted as standard:
An external current sensor input function is fitted as standard in the input element of both the 30 A and 5 A input elements of the WT5000 in order to meet the needs of an increasing number of applications that require the evaluation of larger-current devices, such as electric vehicles and large-scale solar installations. For much higher currents (up to 2000A RMS) dedicated high-current sensors are available. Yokogawa AC/DC CT series sensors are current output in order to minimize the influence of noise, the 5A input element is well suited for use with these current sensors.
- Applications:
Manufacturing testing and inspection, in addition to research and development of products requiring high precision power testing.
Applications involving electric vehicles or fuel-cell vehicles, where developers are increasingly required to evaluate a number of different motors.
- The WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer precisely tests and evaluates power output and loss with consistency and accuracy. This power analyzer accommodates a variety of plug-in options to streamline efficiency and 3 reduce or eliminate the need for multiple devices in the power testing phase. Users have the flexibility to utilize the features of the WT5000 specific to their application, increasing efficiency and providing cost savings while producing extremely accurate results.

- RIGOL introduced our Real-Time Analysis solutions with the RSA5000 earlier this year. It combined the power of a high performance swept spectrum analyzer with superior Real-time performance unmatched in this product category. Now, with the introduction of the RSA3000, RIGOL is extending its Real-Time Analysis solutions to applications that don’t require the high performance or standard options of the performance RSA5000 Series. Price sensitive engineers looking to bring Real-Time Analysis to their test bench can now get an upgradable, powerful solution at an exceptional entry price.
- Available in 3.0GHz and 4.5GHz models with available tracking generators, the RSA3000 comes standard with 10MHz of Real-time analysis bandwidth but can be upgraded to 40MHz at any time. With the 40MHz option applied, the RSA3000 delivers the same seamless capture, minimum probability of intercept (POI) of 7.45 µs, 7 rich visualization modes and powerful triggering capability as the RSA5000 providing a complete real-time analysis package for engineers at lower entry price.

- The RSA3000 can also function as a traditional swept spectrum analyzer with solid specifications sufficient for most applications. Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) is standard at 10Hz with an option for 1Hz, noise floor as low as -161dBm, phase noise of -102dBc/Hz, and a full span sweep as fast as 1ms.
- “Engineers are increasingly looking to Real-Time Spectrum Analysis to solve their RF integration and debug challenges. The RSA3000 brings to these engineers the same exceptional value for Real-Time Analysis that RIGOL’s DSA815-TG has in traditional swept applications,” says Michael Rizzo, General Manager of RIGOL North America. “With entry price of only $6075 CAD, complete real-time upgradability and sufficient swept spectrum specifications for most general purpose applications, the RSA3000 is a great option for customers needing real-time analysis capabilities with limited budgets.”
- The RIGOL RSA3000 takes 146,484 FFTs per second providing a minimum 100% POI of 7.45 µs. This class leading performance allows users to confidently capture pulsing, hopping and fast transient signals as short as 7.45 µs and display accurate power 100% of the time. Signals as low as 1 µs can be captured thanks to our seamless FFT capture. The RSA3000 provides 7 rich data views to allow engineers to visualize the most complex RF environments. Density Displays help to see time varying signals and resolve hidden and superimposed signals in the same frequency band. Spectrogram Displays allow users to evaluate changes in signal behavior over time, especially useful in identifying hopping patterns and characterizing PLLs. Power versus Time Displays show the RF Power for the real time span over a user defined time span helping measure the duration and timing of pulsing signals and characterizing signals with amplitude modulation like ASK.
