The crest factor is the ratio of the waveform peak value and the RMS value.

When checking the measurable crest factor of our power measuring instruments, please refer to the following equation.

* However, the peak value of the measured signal must be less than or equal to the continuous maximum allowed input

* The crest factor on a power meter is specified by how many times peak input value is allowed relative to rated input value. Even if some measured signals exist whose crest factors are larger than the specifications of the instrument (the crest factor standard at the rated input), you can measure signals having crest factors larger than the specifications by setting a measurement range that is large relative to the measured signal. For example, even if you set CF = 3, CF5 or higher measurements are possible as long as the measured value (RMS) is 60% or less than the measuring range. Also, for a setting of CF = 3, measurements of CF = 300 are possible with the minimum effective input (1% of measuring range).

Voltage, current, power, and other measured data can be stored to the unit's approximately thirty megabytes of internal memory. These data can be saved in binary or ASCII format on a PC card or USB memory*.

* The USB port (for peripherals) comes with the /C5 option.



Each measured item can be stored every data update interval. You can specify to store only the desired measured items, thus saving memory.

Files saved in ASCII format can be opened in general-purpose applications such as Excel allowing display of data in graphs. * Please note that data saved in binary format can only be manipulated using dedicated software to be made available by Yokogawa.
