Advantages of WT1800
n 5 MHz range and 2 MS/s high-speed sampling
n Up to the 500th order harmonic measurement
(/G5 and /G6 options)
The vertical resolution in power measurements is one of the important elements for
high-precision measurements.
The WT1800 is capable of 16-bit high resolution and approximately 2 MHz sampling to make
it possible to measure faster signals with higher precision.
Yokogawa’s previous model* provides two different measurement modes, called Normal and
Harmonic, and each of the measurements is performed separately. The WT1800 makes it
possible to simultaneously measure voltage, current fundamental wave, harmonic
components, and harmonic distortion factor (THD) in the Harmonic measurement mode,
along with the conventional voltage and current RMS values in the Normal measurement
mode. You do not need to switch modes and can measure all data at high speed. In addition,
up to the 500th order harmonic can be measured for fundamental frequencies.
To evaluate the inputs and outputs of inverters including boost converters, at least 5 power
measurement inputs are required. The WT1800 provides 6 inputs to make it possible to
evaluate all aspects of inverters. In addition, a new individual null function makes it possible
to set the DC offset only on a particular input channel as the null value. This makes it
possible to perform more accurate measurements.
In previous models, harmonic measurement has been limited to a single line. The WT1800 is
capable of performing two-line simultaneous harmonic measurements with one unit for the
first time in the industry.
The ability to simultaneously measure harmonics for the input and output signals not only
reduces the switching time but also makes it possible to perform simultaneous data analysis
for the input and output, which has not been possible with the previous models.

Overview
The WT1800 is capable of performing up to 6 power input measurements to make it possible to perform an inverter efficiency test between the input and output in inverter evaluation.
In addition, a motor evaluation function (option) makes it possible to simultaneously monitor voltage, current, and power changes, as well as rotation speed and torque changes.
