Yokogawa CW240 Clamp-on Power Quality Meter with Power Cord UL/CSA Standard and Four Flexible Type Clamp-on Probes for 3000A

The Yokogawa CW240 power quality analyzer (also called a power meter) with four current probes records power consumption and power quality of single-phase or three-phase 2- or 3-wire circuits for installing and maintaining electrical systems. It measures voltage (including crest factor, peak value, and K-factor); energy demand; frequency; power factor; displacement power factor; harmonics and harmonic distortion; phase angle; and active, reactive, and apparent power; and tracks events such as inrush current, sags and surges, overvoltage, and interruptions. The meter provides measurements in real time and accepts a CF (compact flash) card (sold separately) for recording readings to track changes in the individual electrical properties of a power system or the overall power quality provided by the system. The unit checks for proper wiring to help ensure measurement accuracy, and voltage and current can be displayed as a waveform. Measurements can be viewed on the meter's backlit, color LCD, which is readable in low light. All parameters are measured simultaneously, for an overall picture of power quality in the system. Two Yokogawa CW240 units can be connected to perform measurements on two power lines at the same time. Readings can be displayed in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. The unit comes with four test leads with alligator clips for taking voltage measurements, and a range of current sensors (sold separately) can be used with the meter to measure current or power. Two analog inputs allow analog signals from thermometers or light sensors to be measured along with electrical power data, and one analog output allows communication to an external device. The Yokogawa CW240 is for research, production, and repair applications.

This true RMS (root mean square) sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear or non-linear loads, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal or nonsinusoidal waveform. The meter meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for category III installations up to 600V, which covers items used with enclosed building circuit installations (such as service panel parts, branch circuits, and fixed installations that are connected directly to a building's AC power supply), and category IV up to 300V, which covers measurements at the source of the low-voltage supply (such as electricity meters and overcurrent protection devices). The unit is powered by six AA batteries (included) that can be recharged using the included AC adapter. For information on accuracy and specific parameter data, see the Yokogawa CW240 datasheet.

The Yokogawa CW240 can be purchased with a choice of optional current probe kits, including: four 20-amp/200-amp clamp-on current probes, four 2-amp clamp-on current probes, four 3000-amp clamp-on current probes, four 500-amp clamp-on current probes, four 50-amp clamp-on current probes, four 700-amp clamp-on current probes, and four 3000-amp flexible current sensors.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Industrial power meters measure electrical properties such as voltage, current, power, and energy to monitor the efficiency and performance of a power system. They are used for designing, installing, and maintaining industrial, commercial, and residential power supply systems. More advanced models have features for comparing and recording multiple measurements taken at different times and in different areas.

Yokogawa manufactures test and measurement equipment, navigation systems, and industrial control systems. The company, founded in 1915 in Tokyo, Japan, has U.S. headquarters in Sugar Land, TX. It meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001:2008.
