Safety Precautions
Make sure to comply with the precautions below. Not complying might result in injury or death.
WARNING
Power Supply
Ensure that the source voltage matches the voltage of the power supply before turning ON the power.
Power Cord and Plug
To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth terminal. Do not invalidate this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth grounding.
Protective Grounding
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning ON the power.
Necessity of Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazard.
Defect of Protective Grounding
Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective. Also, make sure to check them before operation.
Fuse
To avoid the possibility of fire, only use a fuse that has a rating (voltage, current, and type) that is specified by the instrument. When replacing a fuse, turn OFF the power switch and unplug the power cord. Never short the fuse holder.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors. Operation in such environments constitutes a safety hazard.
Do Not Remove Covers
The cover should be removed by YOKOGAWA’s qualified personnel only. Opening the cover is dangerous, because some areas inside the instrument have high voltages.
External Connection
Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under measurement or an external control unit.

Signal Flow and Process
The input circuits, Elements 1 through 6, consist of a voltage input circuit and a current input circuit. The input circuits are mutually isolated. They are also isolated from the case.
The voltage signal that is applied to the voltage input terminal (U, ± ) is normalized using the voltage divider of the voltage input circuit and an operational amplifier (OP AMP). It is then isolated by the transformer and input to a voltage A/D converter. The current input circuit is equipped with two types of input terminals, a current input terminal (I, ± ) and a current sensor input connector (EXT). Either one can be used at any given time. The voltage signal from the current sensor that received the signal at the current sensor input connector is normalized using the voltage divider and an operational amplifier (OP AMP). It is then isolated by the transformer and input to a current A/D converter. The current signal that is applied to the current input terminal is converted to a voltage by a current divider. Then, it is input to the current A/D converter in the same fashion as the voltage signal from the current sensor.
During normal measurement, the voltage signal that is input to the voltage A/D converter or current A/D converter is converted to digital values at an interval of approximately 5 µs. The measured value is derived using a DSP based on the converted digital values. During harmonic measurement, the applied voltage signal is converted to digital values at an interval that is an integer multiple of the PLL source signal (cycle of the clock generated by the PLL circuit). The measured value of each item of harmonic measurement is derived by performing an FFT based on the converted digital values using a DSP.
The measured value is transmitted to the CPU. Various computed values are determined from the measured values. These measured values and computed values are displayed, output through a D/A output, or output through communications.
When waveform display data is not being retrieved during normal measurement, the DSP and CPU processes are pipelined, and the DSP process is executed in real-time. Therefore, measurements with few data dropouts can be achieved against the input signal.

1.2 Measurement Function and Measurement Period

Types of Measurement Functions during Normal Measurement
The data (numerical data) of measurement functions during normal measurement is measured or computed from the sampled data*1 described later in “Measurement Period.”
*1 The WT1600 samples the instantaneous values of the voltage and current signals at a
specified sample rate*2. The sampled data is processed as numerical data or data used to display waveforms on the screen (waveform display data).
*2 Sample rate represents the number of data points that are sampled within 1 s. For example,
at a sample rate of 200 kS/s, 200000 data points are sampled every second.
• Types of Measurement Functions

1.2 Measurement Function and Measurement Period
Determining the Voltage and Current
There are four types of measurement functions for voltage (U) and current (I).
• Urms, Irms (true rms value)
These values are the true rms values of the voltage and current. The instantaneous values over one period are squared and averaged. Then, the square root of the value is determined. f(t) and T represent the input signal as a function of time and the period of the input signal, respectively.
Urms or Irms =
1 T
• Umn, Imn (rectified mean value calibrated to the rms value)
This function rectifies one period of the voltage or current signal, determines the average, and multiplies the result by a coefficient. The coefficient is a value that when applied to a sinusoidal input signal, gives the true rms value. When the input signal is a distorted or is a DC waveform, these values will differ from the true rms values. f(t) and T represent the input signal as a function of time and the period of the input signal, respectively.
Umn or Imn =
π

• Udc, Idc (simple average)
These are the average values over one period of the voltage and current signal. This function is useful when determining the average value of a DC input signal or a DC component that is superimposed on an AC input signal.

Element
Element refers to a set of input terminals that can input a single phase of voltage and current to be measured. The WT1600 can contain up to six elements, which are numbered from 1 to 6. The element number is appended to the symbols that were defined in the earlier section, “Measurement functions on each input element” so that the correspondence between the numerical data and the element can be seen. For example, “Urms1” represents the true rms value of the voltage of element 1.
Wiring System
The selectable patterns of wiring systems vary depending on the number of input elements that are installed in the instrument. You may be able to select only a single type of wiring system or two or three types of wiring systems. When two or more types of wiring systems are selected, “A”, “B”, or “C” is appended to the symbols that were defined in the earlier section “Measurement functions of the average or sum of input elements (Σ functions)” so that the correspondence between the numerical data and the wiring unit can be seen. For example, “UrmsΣA” represents the true rms value of the average of the voltage of the input elements that are assigned to wiring unit ΣA
Efficiency
η (efficiency 1) is determined by the equation (PΣB)/(PΣA) × 100; 1/η (efficiency 2) is determined by the equation (PΣA)/(PΣB) × 100. You can create an equation using user-defined functions to determine efficiencies other than the above two. In addition, on models with the motor evaluation function (option), ηmA((Pm)/(PΣA) × 100) and ηmB((Pm)/(PΣB) × 100) can be determined.

• Harmonic measurement function that indicates the phase difference (φ) of the voltage and current between the input elements
There are five harmonic measurement functions that express the phase difference (φ). Explanation is given below for the case when the number of installed input elements is 5, the wiring system pattern is three-phase, four-wire for ΣA and three­phase, three-wire for ΣB. When the target of the harmonic measurement is set to wiring unit ΣA, the target elements are 1, 2, and 3. The numerical data of the harmonic measurement functions of phase difference concerning elements 1, 2, and 3 can be determined as shown below. When the target of the harmonic measurement is set to wiring unit ΣB, the target elements are 4 and 5. The numerical data of the harmonic measurement functions of phase difference concerning elements 4 and 5 (φU4-U5, φU4-I4 and φU4-I5) can be determined. The phase difference φU4-U-6 and φU4-I6 cannot be determined.

Element
Element refers to a set of input terminals that can input a single phase of voltage and current to be measured. The WT1600 can contain up to six elements, which are numbered from 1 to 6. The element number is appended to the symbols that were defined in the earlier section, “Harmonic measurement functions on each input element” so that the correspondence between the numerical data and the element can be seen. For example, “U1(2)” represents the voltage of the 2 of element 1.
Wiring System
The selectable patterns of wiring systems vary depending on the number of input elements that are installed in the instrument. You may be able to select only a single type of wiring system or two or three types of wiring systems. When two or more types of wiring systems are selected, “A”, “B”, or “C” is appended to the symbols that were defined in the earlier section “Harmonic measurement functions of the average or sum of input elements (Σ functions)” so that the correspondence between the numerical data and the wiring unit can be seen. For example, “UΣA(1)” represents the average of the voltage of the fundamental signal of the input elements that are assigned to wiring unit ΣA.
PLL Source «For procedures, see section 7.4»
When measuring harmonics, the fundamental period (period of the fundamental signal) must be determined in order to analyze the higher orders. The PLL (phase locked loop) source is the signal that is used to determine the fundamental period. Selecting a signal with little distortion or fluctuation for the PLL source will result in a stable harmonic measurement. An ideal signal would be a rectangular wave with amplitude that is greater than or equal to 50% or 100% of the measurement range (see section 1.3) when the crest factor (see section 5.11) is set to 3 or 6, respectively. In addition, a sampling clock signal (Smp Clk) with a frequency that is 2048 times the fundamental frequency of the waveform on which to perform harmonic measurements can be input to the external clock input connector. Stable harmonic measurement is achieved by using this sampling clock to sample data from the target waveform. Stable harmonic measurement can also be achieved by applying a clock signal (Ext Clk) that has the same period as the waveform on which to perform harmonic measurements.

Explanation of Functions
Types of Measurement Functions of the Motor Evaluation Function (Option)
By using the motor evaluation function (option), the rotating speed, torque, and output of a motor can be determined from the DC voltage (analog signal) or pulse count signal received from a revolution sensor, which is proportional to the rotating speed of the motor, and the DC voltage (analog signal) received from a torque meter, which is proportional to the motor’s torque. In addition, the synchronous speed and slip of a motor can be determined by setting the motor’s number of poles. Furthermore, the active power and frequency that are measured by the WT1600 and the motor output can be used to compute the motor efficiency and the total efficiency.
Types of Measurement Functions
Speed (rotating speed), Torque, Pm (motor output or mechanical power), synchronous speed (Sync), Slip, motor efficiency (ηmA), and total efficiency (ηmB). For details on the determination of the measurement functions, see appendix 1.

1.2 Measurement Function and Measurement Period
Measurement Period
During Normal Measurement
The numerical data is measured or computed using the sampled data*1 in the measurement period that is determined according to the following principle*2.
• The measurement period is set between the first point where the reference input signal (synchronization source) crosses the level zero point (center of the amplitude) on the rising slope (or falling slope)*3 within the data update interval and the last point where the synchronization source crosses the level zero point (center of the amplitude) on the rising slope (or falling slope) within the data update interval.
• The rising or falling edge is automatically selected for the one that allows the interval to be longer.
• If the number of rising slope or falling slope is zero or one within the data update interval, the measurement period is set to the entire span within the data update interval.
• You can select which input signal will be the synchronization source (synchronized to the zero crossing point of the input signal) for each element. You can select the voltage, current, or external clock that is input to the element to be the synchronization source signal.
*1 For details on the sampled data, see the description of the sampled data in the earlier
section “Types of Measurement Functions during Normal Measurement.”
*2 The measurement period for determining the numerical data of the peak voltage or peak
current is the entire span within the data update interval. Therefore, the measurement period for the measurement functions U+pk, U-pk, I+pk, I-pk, CfU, CfI, FfU, and FfI that are determined from the maximum value of the voltage and current is also the entire span within the data update interval.
*3 Slope refers to the movement of the signal from a low level to a high level (rising edge) or
from a high level to a low level (falling edge).
*4 The data update interval is the interval by which the data is sampled for determining the
measurement functions. This is equivalent to the value you can specify in “Data Update Rate” of section 1.3.

1.3 Measurement Conditions

Number of Installed Input Elements and Wiring Systems «For procedures, see section 5.1.»
• The selectable patterns of wiring systems vary depending on the number of input elements that are installed in the instrument. You may be able to select only a single type of wiring system or two or three types of wiring systems. You can select the wiring system from the following five types. 1P2W (single-phase, two-wire), 1P3W (single-phase, three-wire), 3P3W (three-phase, three-wire), 3P4W (three-phase, four-wire), and 3V3A (three-voltage, three-current)
• The input element assignment to wiring units ΣA, ΣB, and ΣC is determined from the wiring system pattern. This allows Σ functions of voltage, current, active power, apparent power, reactive power, power factor, phase difference, and other parameters to be determined. For the relationship between the wiring system and the determination of the Σ function, see appendix 1.
• The following table shows the relationship between the number of installed elements, the selectable wiring system patterns, and the assignment of input elements to wiring units ΣA, ΣB, and ΣC.

1.3 Measurement Conditions
Measurement Range «For procedures, see section 5.2.»
Set the measurement range using an rms level. When directly inputting 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
5.11) is set to 3 or 6, respectively. For details on waveform display, see section 1.7, “Waveform Display.”
Fixed Range
Select each range from a number of choices. The selected range does not switch even if the amplitude of the input signal changes. For voltage, the maximum and minimum selectable ranges are 1000 V and 1.5 V, respectively, when the crest factor is set to 3. When the crest factor is set to 6, the maximum and minimum selectable ranges are 500 V and 750 mV, respectively.
Auto Range
The measurement range switches automatically depending on the amplitude of the input signal. The different ranges used in the auto range are the same as those available for fixed range.
• Range increase
• When the data of measurement function Urms or Irms exceeds 110% of the current measurement range, the measurement range is increased.
• When the peak value of the input signal exceeds 330% or 660% of the current measurement range when the crest factor is set to 3 or 6, respectively, the range is increased.
• Range decrease
When the data of the measurement function Urms or Irms is less than or equal to 30% of the measurement range and Upk and Ipk is less than or equal to 300% or 600% of the next lower range when the crest factor is set to 3 or 6, respectively, the range is decreased.
Power Range
The measurement ranges (power ranges) of active power, apparent power, and reactive power are determined by the wiring system, voltage range, and current range as follows. For the actual values of the measurement range, see section 5.2, “Setting the Measurement Range during Direct Input.”
Wiring System Power Range
1P2W (single-phase, two-wire) voltage range × current range 1P3W (single-phase, three-wire) voltage range × current range × 2
3P3W (three-phase, three-wire) (when the voltage and current ranges on the 3V3A (three-voltage, three-current) corresponding elements are set to the same range)
3P4W (three-phase four-wire) voltage range × current range × 3
(when the voltage and current ranges on the corresponding elements are set to the same range)

Scaling «For procedures, see sections 5.3 and 5.4.»
When inputting current signals via an external current sensor or inputting voltage or current signals via the external PT (potential transformer) or CT (current transformer), the transformation ratio and coefficient can be specified.
When Inputting Current Signals via an External Current Sensor
The output of current sensors, such as shunts and clamps, can be input to the current sensor connector (EXT) and be measured. Set how many mV the current sensor outputs when 1 A of current flows (transformation ratio). Then, the input signal can be made to correspond to the numerical data or waveform display data that are obtained when the current is directly applied to the input terminals.
Measurement Function Transformation Ratio Data before Conversion Conversion Result
Current I E IS(current sensor output) IS/E Active power P E P Apparent power S E S Reactive power Q E Q Max./Min. current value Ipk E IpkS(current sensor output) IpkS/E
When Inputting Voltage or Current Signals via an External PT or CT
Measurements can be made by connecting the output of the secondary side of the PT and the output of the secondary side of the CT to the same voltage and current input terminals that are used when directly inputting a signal. Set the PT ratio, CT ratio, and power coefficient (coefficient multiplied to the power determined from the voltage and current). Then, the input signal can be made to correspond to the numerical data or waveform display data that are obtained when the current is directly applied to the input terminals.

Explanation of Functions
Input Filter «For procedures, see section 5.5.»
There are two types of filters. This WT1600 makes measurements by synchronizing to the input signal. Therefore, the frequency of the input signal must be measured accurately.
Line Filter
The line filter is inserted into the circuit under measurement. It removes the noise from the inverter and from distorted waveforms. The cutoff frequency can be selected.
Zero Crossing Filter
This filter is inserted only into the frequency measurement circuit. Zero crossing refers to the point where the input signal crosses the center level of the amplitude. This filter is used to accurately detect the zero crossing point. The WT1600 detects the zero crossing point with a hysteresis of approximately 5% or 10% of the measurement range when the crest factor is set to 3 or 6, respectively. The zero crossing detection is used to determine the measurement period, measure the frequency, and determine the period of a PLL source.

Averaging «For procedures, see section 5.6.»
The averaging function is effective when reading of the numerical 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.
During Normal Measurement
Two types, exponential average and moving average, are available.
• Exponential average
The numerical data can be exponentially averaged using a specified attenuation constant. Averaging is performed according to the following equation.

During Harmonic Measurement
When the fundamental frequency is 50/60 Hz, the attenuation constant is automatically adjusted so that a first-order low-pass filter with a time constant of 1.5 s is achieved. Exponential averaging is performed using this attenuation constant. For example, if the data length for the analysis is 8192 points and the fundamental frequency of the PLL source is between 55 Hz and 75 Hz, the attenuation constant is set to 5.625. For other frequencies, it is set to 4.6875.

Data Update Rate «For procedures, see section 5.7.»
This is the period by which the data is sampled for determining the measurement functions.
During Normal Measurement
Select the value from 50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s, and 5 s. The numerical data is updated once at the selected period. You can increase the data update rate to acquire relatively fast load fluctuations in the power system or decrease the rate to acquire sampled data for several periods even for relatively long signals.
During Harmonic Measurement
The data update rate is determined by the fundamental frequency of the PLL source and the number of periods of the PLL source used for the analysis.
Hold «For procedures, see section 5.8.»
The data display of each measurement function can be held. The communication output data while the display is held is the held numeric data.
Single Measurement «For procedures, see section 5.8.»
While in the held condition, the measurement is performed once at the specified data update rate and enters the held condition.

MAX Hold «For procedures, see section 5.9.»
Holds the maximum value of the numerical data. Holds the data of measurement functions Urms, Umn, Udc, Uac, Irms, Imn, Idc, Iac, P, S, Q, U+pk, U-pk, I+pk, and I-pk as well as the data of the Σ function of these functions while the MAX hold function is enabled.
Master/Slave Synchronized Measurement «For procedures, see section 5.10.»
With the master instrument outputting measurement start and stop signals and the slave instrument receiving those signals, synchronized measurement on two instruments is achieved.

1.4 Numeric Display

The numerical data can be displayed. The display format differs between normal measurement and harmonic measurement. In addition, the screen can be divided into top and bottom halves so that the numerical data can be displayed simultaneously with waveforms, bar graphs, or trends (explained later).
Display Resolution
The display resolution for voltage, current, active power, apparent power, reactive power, and so on is 60000. When the range rating (rated value of the specified range) is applied, the Σ function of voltage, current, active power, apparent power, reactive power, and so on is set to the decimal point position and unit of the element with the lowest display resolution of the target elements. For the display resolution during integration, see section 6.11.
Numerical Display during Normal Measurement «For procedures, see sections 4.1 and 6.1.»
Selecting the Number of Displayed Items
You can select the number of displayed items in the range from 4 to all. When the numerical data is displayed simultaneously with waveforms, bar graphs, or trends, only half of the selected number of items is displayed. Not all the data can be displayed on one screen. Thus, you can scroll through the displayed items to view the succeeding data.
