The WT3000 has compensation functions for high-precision measurements.
These functions can compensate for instrument-related losses resulting
from the power meter’s internal impedance as well as losses related to
wiring during measurement with two power meters. The following compensation
functions are provided to compensate for instrument-related losses:
- Efficiency compensation: This function compensates for
instrument-related losses occurring during efficiency calculation.
- Wiring compensation: This function compensates for
instrument-related losses caused by wiring.
When measurements are performed using two power meters with three-phase
three-wire wiring, errors may occur if current flows to the middle wire
(or if there is a leakage current). The WT3000 has a function to compensate
for such errors. Even when measurements are performed with two power meters
(requires measurement with three-phase three-wire (3V3A) wiring), the current
flowing to the middle wire is calculated, and a corresponding correction value
can be added to the power measurement (requires /DT option). This improves the accuracy of power
measurements.
