Yokogawa Releases the WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces that it has developed the WT5000 precision power analyzer. This new product accommodates up to seven input elements and has a world-class measurement accuracy of ±0.03%.

The WT5000 succeeds the WT3000E, a Yokogawa flagship product that has sold strongly since its release in 2015 thanks to its superior measurement accuracy. With the WT5000, Yokogawa aims to expand its business in the power measurement field and build a sustainable society by helping its customers improve the efficiency of their electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy products.

With reference to the WT3000E, the measurement accuracy of the WT5000 has been improved from ±0.04% to ±0.03% at AC 50/60 Hz, DC power measurement accuracy has been improved from ±0.15% to ±0.07%, and the low power factor error has been decreased from ±0.03% to ±0.02%. With these improvements, power consumption, power loss, and conversion efficiency can be assessed more precisely, satisfying our customers’ need for a solution that can help them develop products that consume less power and are more energy efficient (more info).
