Measurement

Variety of Power Measuring Instruments

Inductive Type Wh-meter

Inductive Type Wh-meters, which are based upon the principle of mechanically averaging instantaneous power measure electrical energy consumed in a home for billing purposes. It is guaranteed only commercial frequencies 50/60Hz.

1: current coil 2: Short ring
3: Movable disk 4: Phase adjusting coil
5: magnetic shunt steel 6: manganin resistor
7: Secondary voltage coil 8: Voltage coil

Analog indicate type Power Meter

Principle : Repulsion of magnetic field caused by currents of both Fixed and Moving coils

Side View Top View

Restrictions;
  • Frequency bandwidth(It can not measure component upper than 400Hz accurately.)
  • Dynamic ranges and accuracy especially in the case of small input
  • Immunity against large input current

Analog calculation type Digital Power Meter

Principle : Time Division Multiple analog circuit method Multiplication circuit Waveform

Restrictions ;
  • High displaying resolution(whether it is enough to settled range.)
  • Accuracy and Linearity in case of small input
  • Influence of high frequency Common Mode Voltage

YOKOGAWA 2533

Digital Sampling type Digital Power Meter

Principle : Digital filtering method of digital sampled data

Restrictions ;
  • High displaying resolution(whether it is enough to settled range.)
  • Dynamic ranges and accuracy especially both small and large current
  • Fast response time(combination between measuring period and dead time)
