WARNING
Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
The WT310/WT310HC/WT330 is a power measurement instrument that can measure
parameters such as voltage, current, and power. Do not use this instrument for anything other
than as a power measurement instrument.
Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
Use the Correct Power Supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the instrument’s rated supply voltage and
that it does not exceed the maximum voltage range specified for the power cord.
Use the Correct 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.
Additionally, do not use the power cord supplied with this instrument with another instrument.
Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning on the
power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-prong type power cord.
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the
protective earth terminal. Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to the instrument.
Do Not Operate with Defective Protective Grounding or Fuses
Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective. Check the
grounding and the fuse before operating the instrument.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or vapors. Doing so is
extremely dangerous.
Do Not Remove Covers
Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel should remove the instrument’s covers. The inside of
the instrument is dangerous because parts of it have high voltages.
Ground the Instrument before Making External Connections
Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under measurement
or to an external control unit. Before touching a circuit, turn off its power and check that it has
no voltage.

Safety Precautions
Connect Cables Correctly
Power meters can measure large voltages and currents directly. If you use a voltage
transformer or a current transformer together with this power meter, you can measure even
larger voltages or currents. When you are measuring a large voltage or current, the power
capacity of the item under measurement becomes large. If you do not connect the cables
correctly, an overvoltage or overcurrent may be generated in the circuit under measurement.
This may lead to not only damage to the power meter and the item under measurement, but
electric shock and fire as well. Be careful when you connect the cables, and be sure to check
the following points.
Before you begin measuring (before you turn the item under measurement on), check that:
•
Cables have been connected to the power meter’s input terminals correctly.
Check that there are no voltage measurement cables that hav
current input terminals.
Check that there are no current measurement cables that have been connected to the
voltage input terminals.
If you are measuring multiphase power, check that there are no mistakes in the phase
wiring.
• Cables have been connected to the power supply and the item under measurement
correctly.
Check that there are no short circuits between terminals or between connected cables.
•
The cables are connected firmly to the current input terminals.
• There are no problems with the current input terminals and the crimping terminals, such as
the presence of foreign substances.
e been connected to the
During measurement (never touch the terminals and the connected cables when the item
under measurement is on), check that:
There no problems with the input terminals and the crimping terminals, such as the
•
presence of foreign substances.
• The input terminals are not abnormally hot.
• The cables are connected firmly to the input terminals.
The terminal connections may become loose over time. If this happens, heat may be
generated due to changes in contact resistance. If you are going to take measurements
using the same setup for a long time, periodically check that the cables are firmly
connected to the terminals. (Be sure to turn both the power meter and the item under
measurement off before you check the connections.)
After measuring (immediately after you turn the item under measurement of

The power switch is a push button. Press the button once to turn the instrument on and press it again
to turn the instrument off.
Making Preparations for Measurements
Operations Performed When the Power Is Turned On
When the power switch is turned on, a self-test starts automatically. When the self-test completes
successfully, the screen that was displayed immediately before the power was turned off appears.
Note
• After turning the power off, wait at least 10 seconds before you turn it on again.
When the Power-on Operation Does Not Finish Normally
• If the instrument does not operate as described above when the power switch is turned on, turn the power
switch off, and then:
• Check that the power cord is securely connected.
After the power is turned off, the instrument stores the setup parameters in its memory before shutting
down. The same is true when the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. The next time the power
is turned on, the instrument powers up using the stored setup parameters.
Note
The instrument stores the settings using an internal lithium battery. When the lithium battery voltage falls
below a specified value, you will no longer be able to store setup parameters, and error code 901 will
appear on the screen when you turn on the power (see section 6.2, “Error Code Descriptions and Corrective
Actions”). If this message appears frequently, you need to replace the battery soon. Do not try to replace the
battery yourself. Contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer to have the battery replaced.

2.5 Precautions When Wiring the Circuit under
Measurement
To prevent electric shock and damage to the instrument, follow the warnings below.
WARNING
• Ground the instrument before connecting measurement cables. The power cord that comes
with the instrument is a three-prong cord. Insert the power cord into a grounded threeprong outlet.
•
Turn the circuit under measurement off before connecting and disconnecting cables to it.
Connecting or removing measurement cables while the power is on is dangerous.
Do not wire a current circuit to the voltage input terminal or a voltage circuit to the current

• Strip the insulation covers of measurement cables so that when they are wired to the input
terminals, the conductive parts (bare wires) do not protrude from the terminals.

• When connecting measurement cables to the voltage input ter
measurement cables that have safety terminals that cover their conductive parts. Using
a terminal with bare conductive parts (such as a banana plug) can be dangerous if the
terminal comes loose.
• When connecting cables to the external current sensor input terminals, only connect cables
that have safety terminals that cover their conductive parts. Using a connector with bare
conductive parts can be dangerous if the terminal comes loose.
• When you apply current directly to the current input terminals to measure it, the voltage of
the item under measurement appears at the external sensor input connector
electric shock, remove the cable connected to the external sensor.
• When the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the current input
terminals, do not touch the external current sensor input terminals. Doing so is dangerous
because the terminals are electrically connected inside the instrument.
• When connecting a measurement cable from an external current sensor to an external
current sensor input connector, remove the cables connected to the current input terminals.
Also, when the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the external
current sensor input terminals, do not touch the current input terminals. Doing so is
dangerous because the terminals are electrically connected inside the instrument.
•
When using an external voltage transformer (VT) or current transformer (CT), make sure
that it has enough dielectric strength for the voltage (U) being measured (2U + 1000 V
recommended). Also, make sure that the secondary side of the CT does not become an
open circuit while the power is being applied. If this happens, high voltage will appear at
the secondary side of the CT
•
When using an external current sensor, make sure to use a sensor that comes in a case.
The conductive parts and case should be insulated, and the sensor should have enough
dielectric strength for the voltage of the circuit under measurement. Using a bare sensor is
dangerous, because there is a high probability that you might accidentally touch it.
• When using a shunt-type current sensor as an external current sensor, turn off the circuit
under measurement before you connect the sensor
while the power is on is dangerous.
• When using a clamp-type current sensor as an external current sensor, make sure that
you understand the voltage of the circuit under measurement and the specifications and
handling of the clamp-type sensor, and then confirm that there are no dangers, such as
shock hazards.
• For safety reasons, when using the instrument after mounting it on a rack, furnish a switch
for turning off the circuit under measurement from the front side of the rack.
• For safety reasons, after you connect the measurement cable

or greater.
Making Preparations for Measurements
Note
• If you are measuring large currents or voltages or currents that contain high frequency components, take
special care in dealing with mutual interference and noise when you wire the cables.
• Keep measurement cables as short as possible to minimize the loss between the circuit under
measurement and the instrument.
• The thick lines on the wiring diagrams shown in sections 2.9 to 2.11 are the parts where the current flows.
Use wires that are suitable for the current levels.
• To make accurate measurements of the voltage of the circuit under measurement, connect the
measurement cable that is connected to the voltage input terminal to the circuit as closely as possible.
• To make accurate measurements, separate the measurement cables as far away from the ground wires
and the instrument’s case as possible to minimize static capacitance to the ground.
• To measure the apparent power and power factor more accurately on an unbalanced three-phase circuit,
we recommend that you use the three-voltage, three-current method (3V3A).

phase Device
When you are wiring a single-phase device, there are the four patterns of terminal wiring positions
shown in the following figures for wiring the voltage input and current input terminals. Depending on
the terminal wiring positions, the effects of stray capacitance and the effects of the measured voltage
and current amplitudes may become large. To make accurate measurements, refer to the items below
when wiring the voltage input and current input terminals.
Effects of Stray Capacitance
When you are measuring the power of a single-phase device, you can minimize the effects of stray
capacitance on measurement accuracy by connecting the instrument’s current input terminal to the
side that is closest to the earth potential of the power supply (SOURCE).

If you are using the included 758931 Safety Terminal Adapter, see section 2.6.
Current Input Terminals
The terminals are binding posts, and the screws are M6. Either wind a wire around a screw or pass a
crimped terminal through the screw axis, and then tighten firmly with the terminal knob.
WARNING
• When the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the current input
terminals, do not touch the external current sensor input terminal. Doing so is dangerous
because the terminals are electrically connected inside the instrument.
•
When connecting a measurement cable from an external current sensor to an external
current sensor input connector, remove the cables connected to the current input terminals.
Also, when the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the external
current sensor input terminals, do not touch the current input terminals. Doing so is
dangerous because the terminals are electrically connected inside the instrument.
CAUTION
Confirm that no foreign materials are caught between the current input terminal and the
crimped terminal. Periodically confirm that the current input terminal is not loose and that there
are no foreign materials caught between the current input terminal and the crimped terminal.

2.9 Wiring the Circuit under Measurement for Direct Input
Turn the current input terminal knob to loosen it. If the knob becomes difficult to turn, apply
more force to turn it further. Inside the terminal base, the stopper for the knob will disconnect
from the screw portion of the knob, and the knob will become easier to turn.
The stopper for the knob will fall out of the hole in the terminal base. Be careful not to lose the stopper.
Insert the screw of the knob into the crimped terminal, and attach the knob to the terminal base.
Tighten the knob until the tip of the knob screw is slightly visible from the hole in the terminal
base.

Use one of the following methods to insert the stopper into the terminal base and hold it in
place.
• Hold the stopper with tweezers and insert it into the terminal base.
• Wrap adhesive tape around a flathead screwdriver so that the
adhesive side of the tape faces
outward, then attach the stopper to the adhesive tape.
Align the shaft of the stopper with the hole in the center of the knob screw. Twist the knob until
the shaft of the stopper enters all the way into the center of the screw.
If the shaft of the stopper doesn’t enter all the way into the screw even after you tighten the knob, insert the
shaft of a screwdriver into the hole in the terminal base, and twist the knob.

Note
When using a crimped terminal with a measurement cable, be sure to use a crimped terminal that matches
the size of the cable and to crimp the terminal to the cable using the appropriate crimping tool for the
terminal. For precautions about using crimped terminals and crimping tools, see the manuals for the crimped

Generally, it is easier to follow the wiring diagram if you wire to the current input terminals first and
then to the voltage input terminals. In this example as well, we will wire to the WT310 current input
terminals first and then to the voltage input terminals.
Wiring to the Current Input Terminals
Connect the current input terminals in series with the DUT along one of the power cables between
the DUT and the power source.
Cut one power cable at the position that you want to insert the power meter into.

Making Preparations for Measurements
The wiring for current measurement is complete.
Note
Why You Do Not Have to Connect the WT330 Current Input Terminals to the S-Phase Cable
In a three-phase, three-wire wiring system, there is no neutral line. This means that either the R, S, or T
phase is treated as a virtual neutral line when power is measured. In this example, the S-phase cable is
treated as the virtual neutral line. Therefore, in the voltage terminal connection described later, phase S is
used as the reference to measure the line voltage between phase R and phase S and between phase T and
phase S. This type of power measurement method is referred to as the two-wattmeter method.

External Current Sensor Input Terminal
The terminal is an isolated BNC connector.
Connect an external current sensor cable with an isolated BNC connector (B9284LK, sold separately)
to an external current sensor input connector.
Remove the measurement cable connected to the current input terminal. Because the external current
sensor input terminal and the current input terminal are connected internally, connecting both terminals
simultaneously not only results in measurement errors but may also cause damage to the instrument.
Also, when the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the external current sensor
input terminals, do not touch the current input terminals. Doing so is dangerous because the terminals
are electrically connected inside the instrument.

CAUTION
The thick lines on the wiring diagrams are the parts where the current flows. Use wires that
are suitable for the current levels.
Note
• Make sure that you have the polarities correct when you make connections. If the polarity is reversed,
the polarity of the measurement current will be reversed, and you will not be able to make correct
measurements. Be especially careful when connecting clamp-type current sensors to the circuit under
measurement, because it is easy to reverse the connection.
• Note that the frequency and phase characteristics of the current sensor affect the measured data.
• To measure the apparent power and power factor more accurately on an unbalanced three-phase circuit,
we recommend that you use the three-voltage, three-current method (3V3A).
Notes about Using Shunt-type Current Sensors and Clamp-on
Probes
Connecting an External Current Sensor Cable
To minimize error when using shunt-type current sensors, follow the guidelines below when
connecting the external current sensor cable.
• Connect the shielded wire of the external current sensor cable to the L side of the shunt output
terminal (OUT).
• Minimize the area of the space between the wires connecting
current sensor cable. This reduces the effects of the lines of magnetic force (which are caused
by the measurement current) and the external noise that enter the space.

Connect the shunt-type current sensor to the power earth ground as shown in the figure below. If
you have to connect the sensor to the non-earth side, use a wire that is thicker than AWG18 (with
a conductive cross-sectional area of approximately 1 mm
to reduce the effects of common mode voltage. Take safety and error reduction into consideration
when constructing external current sensor cables.

to the voltage or current input terminals of input elements. Also refer to this section when
Voltage Measurement
When the maximum voltage of the circuit under measurement exceeds 600 Vrms, you can perform
measurements by connecting an external VT to the voltage input terminal.
Current Measurement
If the maximum current of the circuit under measurement exceeds the maximum measurement range,
you can measure the current of the circuit under measurement by connecting an external CT or a
clamp-type sensor that outputs current to the current input terminal.
•
WT310 and WT330
When the maximum current exceeds 20 Arms
• WT310HC
When the maximum current exceeds 40 Arms
Connecting to the Input Terminals
Voltage Input Terminals
The terminals are safety banana jacks (female) that are 4 mm in diameter.
Only insert a safety terminal whose conductive parts are not exposed into a voltage input terminal.
If you are using the included 758931 Safety Terminal Adapter, see section 2.6.
Current Input Terminals
• The terminals are binding posts, and the screws are M6. Either wind a wire around a screw or pass
a crimped terminal through the screw axis, and then tighten firmly with the terminal knob.
• For the dimensions of the terminal parts, see section 2.9.
• When the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the current input terminals,
do not touch the external current sensor input terminals. Doing so is dangerous because the
terminals are electrically connected inside the instrument.
•
When connecting a measurement cable from an external current sensor to an external current
sensor input connector, remove the cables connected to the current input terminals. Also, when
the voltage of the circuit under measurement is being applied to the external current sensor input
terminals, do not touch the current input terminals. Doing so is dangerous because the terminals
are electrically connected inside the instrument.
•
For the precautions to follow when you connect the current inp
and after you connect these terminals, see section 2.9.

General VT and CT Handling Precautions
• Do not short the secondary side of a VT. Doing so may damage it.
• Do not short the secondary side of a CT. Doing so may damage it.
Also, follow the VT or CT handling precautions in the manual for the VT or CT that you are using.

2.11 Wiring the Circuit under Measurement When Using a Voltage or Current Transformer
CAUTION
The thick lines on the wiring diagrams are the parts where the current flows. Use wires that
are suitable for the current levels.
Note
• Make sure that you have the polarities correct when you make connections. If the polarity is reversed,
the polarity of the measurement current will be reversed, and you will not be able to make correct
measurements. Be especially careful when connecting clamp-type current sensors to the circuit under
measurement, because it is easy to reverse the connection.
• Note that the frequency and phase characteristics of the VT or CT affect the measured data.
• For safety reasons, the common terminals (+/–) of the secondary side of the VT and CT are grounded in
the wiring diagrams in this section. However, the necessity of grounding and the grounding location (ground
near the VT or CT or ground near the power meter) vary depending on the item under measurement.
• To measure the apparent power and power factor more accurately on an unbalanced three-phase circuit,
we recommend that you use the three-voltage, three-current method (3V3A).
When using the Yokogawa 751552 Clamp-on Probe, use the 758917 Measurement Lead and the
758921 Fork Terminal Adapter Set (optional accessory).

5.3 Producing D/A Output
Examples of D/A Output
Voltage
When the voltage range is set to 150 V and 150 V (the rated range value) is applied, the D/A output is
+5 V.
When 100 V is applied, the output is 100 V/150 V × 5 V = 3.3 V.
Power
When the voltage range is set to 150 V and the current range is set to 5 A, the rated power range is
150 V × 5 A = 750 W.
If the measured power value is 750 W, the D/A output is +5 V.
When the measured power value is 300 W, the output is 300 W/750 W × 5V = 2.0 V.
Three-Phase Power (WT330)
When the voltage range is set to 150 V, the current range is set to 5 A, and a three-phase, three-wire
(Rated power range of element 1) + (rated power range of element 3)
= 150 V × 5 A + 150 V × 5 A
=1500 W

When the measured power value is 600 W, the output is 600 W/1500 W × 5V = 2.0 V.

the second page of the appendix in the User’s Manual, IM WT310-01EN (PDF). This table shows
the expressions that the WT330 uses to internally calculate the measured values. This table
When the voltage range is set to 150 V and the current range is set to 5 A, the rated power range is
150 V × 5 A = 750 W. In manual integration mode, when the rated integration time is set to 1 hour, the
rated electrical energy value is 750 W × 1 h = 750 Wh.
If you perform integration for 1 hour and the measured electrical energy is 750 W, the D/A output one
hour after integration starts is + 5 V.
If the measured electrical energy over 1 hour is 300 Wh, the output one hour after integration starts is
300 Wh/750 Wh × 5 V = 2.0 V.
The output 30 minutes after integration starts is 150 Wh/750 Wh × 5 V = 1.0 V.
