n Max. 1000 V/50 A × 6-line direct measurement
Direct input terminals in a voltage range from 1.5 V to 1000 V and
current range from 10 mA to 5 A or 1 A to 50 A make it possible
to perform high-precision measurements without using a current
sensor.
Furthermore, power conditioner evaluation requires
multiple-channel power measurements, such as inputs/outputs
from a boost converter, inverter, and storage battery. The WT1800
is capable of providing up to 6 channels of power inputs to make
it possible to simultaneously perform power measurements at
multiple points with one unit. In addition, two units can be
operated in synchronization for multi-channel power evaluation.
A power integration function makes it possible to measure the
amount of power sold/bought in grid interconnection and of
battery charge/discharge. The WT1800 provides a current
integration (q), apparent power integration (WS), reactive power
integration (WQ), as well as effective power integration capable of
integration in the power sold/bought and charge/discharge
modes.
Furthermore, a user-defined function makes it possible to
calculate the Average active power within the integration period.
This makes it possible to more accurately measure the power
consumption of an intermittent oscillation control unit in which
power fluctuates greatly.
An event trigger function is helpful in verifying that voltage or
current changes are within the design tolerance range. Setting
the normal power generation range as a judgment condition
(trigger) detects measurement data that falls out of that range
and save it to the memory.
In photovoltaic power generation, an MPPT control is performed
to effectively utilize voltage generated by photovoltaic cells in an
attempt to maximize the harvested power.
The WT1800 is capable of measuring not only the voltage,
current, and power but also the voltage, current, and power peak
values (plus (+) and minus (-) sides, respectively). Also, the
maximum power peak value (plus (+) and minus (-) sides) can be
measured.

Overview
Energy generated by photovoltaic cell modules and wind turbines is converted from DC to AC by a power conditioner. Furthermore, the voltage is converted by a charge control unit
for the storage battery. Minimizing losses in these conversions improves efficiency in the overall energy system. The WT1800 is capable of providing up to 6 channels of power inputs
per unit to make it possible to measure the voltage, current, power, and frequency (for AC) before and after each converter, as well as converter efficiency and charging efficiency.
