Dive into the details here!

Providing the ultimate power analyzer for use by all engineers pursuing power conversion efficiency

World-class measurement accuracy

- Basic accuracy ±0.03%, DC accuracy ±0.05%, 50 kHz accuracy 0.2% (*1)
Evaluating power conversion efficiency requires the ability to accurately measure power in every band, from DC to high frequencies. The PW8001 delivers exceptional measurement accuracy not only for 50/60 Hz, but also across a broad frequency band, including for DC and at 50 kHz. This allows it to accurately evaluate power conversion efficiency which often involves measuring multiple frequencies.

Accurate capture of power fluctuations caused by high-speed switching

- Sampling performance 18-bit, 15 MHz (*1)
- Noise Resistance (CMRR) 110 dB, 100 kHz* (*1)
Evaluating power conversion efficiency requires the ability to accurately measure power in every band, from DC to high frequencies. The PW8001 delivers exceptional measurement accuracy not only for 50/60 Hz, but also across a broad frequency band, including for DC and at 50 kHz. This allows it to accurately evaluate power conversion efficiency which often involves measuring multiple frequencies.

Unlocking efficiency in inverter systems: Introducing Power Spectrum Analysis (PSA)

The Power Spectrum Analysis (PSA) function, enhanced by a powerful FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) feature, revolutionizes our approach to analyzing high-frequency power loss. This advanced FFT capability allows for in-depth analysis of voltage, current, and active power, providing detailed insights into power conversion dynamics. This is crucial for enhancing inverter efficiency and minimizing waste in power systems through targeted frequency analysis. The PSA function can provide a clearer picture of electrical issues and helping to pinpoint and reduce power losses more effectively.

Up to 8 power channels optimizing your measurement

- 8-channel power measurement
Increasingly, hardware like electric vehicle (EV) drive systems that use dual inverters and electric power interchange systems in smart homes are adopting multi-circuit designs in order to utilize energy effectively. A single PW8001 can measure 8 channels of power data, allowing equipment with 8 measurement points for power such as dual motors as well as other equipment with multiple circuits to be evaluated in one stroke.

Seamlessly integrate power analysis: Dual units, single Control for up to 16 channels

By connecting two PW8001 units with an optical cable, measured data can be consolidated in a single PW8001 in real time. The power of a maximum of 16 channels and 8 motors can be simultaneously analyzed and their efficiency and loss can be displayed and recorded with a single unit.

PMSM online parameter measurement (*2)

- Electrical angle measurement function
In order to implement fine control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), it’s necessary to assess the motor’s characteristics under actual operating conditions. The PW8001’s electrical angle measurement function can perform voltage and current advance measurement, which is necessary in order to implement vector control of the dq coordinate system. The instrument can calculate Ld and Lq values from electrical angle measurements and ascertain motor parameters under actual operating conditions.

Compensation of torque meter measurement error (*2)

- Dual torque value correction functions
Torque meter measurement error has a substantial impact on motor analysis. The PW8001 can perform calculations using a correction table based on user-defined values for nonlinear compensation and friction compensation. The instrument can accurately analyze high-efficiency motors as well.

Safe evaluation of increasingly high-voltage power conditioners

- 1500 V DC CAT II, 1000 V DC CAT III (*3)
Renewable energy generation systems are being engineered to use increasingly high voltages in order to reduce equipment construction costs and transmission loss. Evaluating generation systems requires instruments that are capable of high-voltage measurement. The PW8001 Input Unit U7001 can safely measure directly input high voltages of up to 1500 V DC (CAT II) and 1000 V DC (CAT III). (The Voltage Cord L1025, which can accommodate 1500 V DC [CAT II] and 1000 V DC [CAT III], is also available.)

Analysis of power loss in reactors

- High-accuracy measurement of high-frequency, low-power-factor power
In order to improve power conversion efficiency, it’s necessary to assess power loss in reactors. The lower the reactor’s loss, the lower the power factor, making accurate measurement difficult. The U7005’s outstanding high-frequency characteristics and noise resistance make it an extremely effective tool for analyzing power loss in high-frequency, low-power-factor reactors.

hiokiadmin001 — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 05:54:41 +0000

Calibration Services for Automotive Industry hiokiadmin001

Yes.

IATF 16949, is an international standard for quality management systems in the automotive industry, formulated by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF).

It states that when measuring instruments used for inspection, testing, etc. are calibrated internally, they must satisfy the requirements of an internal testing laboratory. If the requirements for the IATF 16949 internal testing laboratory are not met, the measuring instruments can be calibrated by an external entity.

HIOKI provides calibration services in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025^*1, and is thus qualified as an IATF 16949 external testing laboratory.

Since HIOKI also satisfies the requirements for an internal testing laboratory, general calibration may be performed on products that cannot be calibrated in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. This means that general calibration can also fulfill the IATF 16949 standards.

In ISO/IEC 17025 calibration (JCSS calibration), accreditation of calibration range is defined in detail.

Please contact us for the corresponding range of each product.

^*1Our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration (JCSS calibration) is MRA certified (multinational mutual recognition) and is recognized as an accredited organization that meets international standards, as the calibration is performed in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.

・In continuous mode, sending one of the following commands immediately after the instrument acknowledged the EOM signal caused an execution error.
:MEASure?, :MEMory?, :MEASure:CONTinuous:COMParator?
・During USB communications with a computer running Window 8, Window 8.1, or Windows 10, the instrument sent back two responses.
・Restarting the instrument after deleting a panel, which contains measurement condition data and correction data, may have disabled any more panels to be saved.

V1.03 (April 2016)
Fixed bugs:
While setting to Internal trigger and measuring continuously, send a query command continuously by GP-IB I/F, measuring rarely stops.

V1.02　(January 2015)
Fixed bugs:
1.When [ADJ]panel was loaded, the compensation could not be done correctly.
When a saved panel consisting of only compensation values was loaded, the panel seemed to be loaded on the screen; however, measured values were not compensated, if one of the following statuses of the loaded panel was different from one of those currently set in the instrument:
- Open compensation (OFF, SPOT including measurement frequency, or ALL)
- Short compensation (OFF, SPOT including measurement frequency, or ALL)
- Load compensation
2.Measurement status of ε or σ did not indicate ”DISP OUT”.
If the error message, ”DISP OUT” was displayed for a measured value of ε or σ on the screen, the response message for the measurement status query sent via communication was not ”3”, which represents that a measured value is out of the display range.

V1.01　(November 2014)
