The harmonic wave analysis function is designed exclusively for use with the
8807-51/8808-51 MEMORY HiCORDER.
For detailed information on the product and product functions, please refer
to the manual for the main unit.
Features
(1) A range of harmonic wave analysis functions for commercial
power supplies
The 8807-51 is designed for analysis of single-phase 2-wire lines, while the
8808-51 is intended for analysis of single-phase 2-wire lines, single-phase 2wire lines of two different systems, single-phase 3-wire lines, and 3-phase 3wire lines.
The function measures power supplies with a fundamental frequency ranging
from 45 to 65 Hz.
(2) Fast Fourier transform in accordance with frequency
512 data points sampled at a rate of 400 kS/s are extracted for calculations.
(3) Two analysis modes to match specific applications
Instantaneous analysis mode for analysis of instantaneous waveforms during
measurement.
Time-series analysis mode for recording and analyzing analysis data as timeseries data.
(4) Extensive analysis items
Six types of analysis of harmonic waves of all degrees rms value, content
ratio, phase angle, active power, power content ratio, and power phase angle
and calculations of total rms value, total distortion, active power, reactive
power, apparent power, and power factor are available.
(5) Instantaneous analysis mode
Displays analysis results as spectral graphs or with numeric values, and
stores result data.
Displays all harmonic wave components from 1st degree to 40th degree on a
single screen.
(6) Time-series analysis mode
Data on 20 phenomena over a period of up to 30 days, or data on four
phenomena over a maximum of 150 days, can be stored in memory.
Four phenomena can be recorded in an overlapping manner on a single time
axis to allow an easy grasp of the interrelationships among phenomena.
The time axis can be set in seven levels from 5 min/DIV to 12 h/DIV.
Smoothing function for cancellation of unexpected phenomena
Pre-trigger function for observation of the signal prior to a trigger
(7) Harmonic wave trigger function
The trigger can be tripped for rms value, content ratio, all degrees power,
power content ratio, power phase angle, total rms value, and any type of
distortion of a selected harmonic wave component.

Q&A
Q1
What range should I select
when measuring a
commercial 110-Vrms
power supply?
Q2
What range should I select
when using the 9018 for 15Arms measurement?
A1
Since commercial power supplies can fluctuate in the range of 10%,
select a range that covers 121 Vrms (110 Vrms x 1.1).
Maximum measurement voltage in 5-Vr range: 70 Vrms
70 Vrms < 121 Vrms X (over range)
Maximum measurement voltage in 10-Vr range: 140 Vrms
140 Vrms > 121 Vrms O (appropriate range)
A2
The clamp probe range indicates the maximum full-scale input as an
rms value. Select a range larger than the value of current to be
measured.
Be sure to set the same range in the clamp probe and the main unit.
10-Ar range setting: 10 Arms < 15 Arms X (over range)
20-Ar range setting: 20 Arms > 15 Arm s O (appropriate range)

How can I measure 1500
Arms using a combination
of the 9020 CLAMP ON
ADAPTER (10:1) and the

A1
When the 10:1 9020 is used to measure 1500 Arms, the 9020 unit
outputs 150 Arms (1500 Arms x 1/10).
To measure 150 Arms, the 9018 should be set to the 200 Arms range.
With this setting, when scaling is turned ON and the conversion rate is
set to "10.00," the screen will display "1500 Arms" as the measured
value.

measurement values to current values.
This function is used to set an appropriate range for the input signal prior to
measurement. When a clamp probe is used, this function checks the

NOTE
If the input waveform phase is reversed, an accurate active power will not be
displayed. Be sure to perform the line connection & level check before
3-phase 3-wire
measurement.
Note that the waveform data stored in memory is deleted when the line
connection & level check is executed.
If the voltage/current level is low, a reversed clamp connection may not be
detected. In this case, the result of the clamp reversal connection check is
displayed as "?."
Connection errors may not be detected under the following conditions.
1) When there are two or more connection errors.
2) When the voltage/current level is low.
3) When the power factor is low.
In addition to the line connection & level check, we recommend checking the
DMM screen for abnormal measured values.

The DMM function provides a numeric display of the input voltage of a
commercial power supply (50/60 Hz) and DC signal on the screen.
The digital display can be switched between instantaneous value and rms
value.
This function will not display accurate values if the input voltage is not of a
commercial power supply (50/60 Hz) or a DC signal.
When the DMM screen is used with the harmonic wave analysis function,
the range set in the harmonic wave analysis function is reflected in the
display values.
