Yokogawa CW240-D/SP2 Clamp on Power Meter. Power Cord: UL/CSA. Includes AP240E Software, Carrying Case, 2 GB Flash Card, Compact Flash Adapter and 4 50A Clamp Probes.

The CW240 power meter is a complete tool for enhancing energy efficiency, finding areas for improvement and assessing equipment lifecycles. The meter provides in-depth information on how an item of equipment, an area of a plant or a complete facility is operating that goes beyond simply measuring power usage.

By using the supplied clamp-on components and probes, users can better determine maintenance, repair and replacement schedules for equipment such as transformers and motors. Information is provided with respect to load factors and demand factors, as well as current/voltage fluctuations at motor start-up.

Measurement Elements:

• Voltage, current, electric power (active, reactive, apparent)
• Power factor, phase angle of each phase
• Average, minimum, maximum values of each measurement element

Perform data collection at intervals from 60 times per second to hourly in order to cover every application in the plant from low interval (e.g., plant watt hours) to high interval testing (e.g., troubleshooting a motor)
 

Data Collection Time(s):

• 1/2/5/10/15/30 seconds
• 1/2/5/10/15/30/60 minutes
• One cycle (waveform)

Power Quality Measurement

Improve power measurment and data collection for compliance with ISO14001 and other standards by showing exactly how and when power is being used. Power measurement is broken down into individual phases to provide a more comprehensive view of overall power usage.

Measurement Elements:

• Active power quantity,
• Regenerative power quantity,
• Reactive power quantity (leading/lagging)

Data Collection Time(s):

• 1/2/5/10/15/30 seconds
• 1/2/5/10/15/30/60 minutes

The CW240 also provides real-time and data log capabilities that are seamlessly downloadable into an available software package that can display graphs, trends and reports.

Select the Number of Display Digits and Units

• Standard (voltage/current range is selected by range according to the phase)
• Arbitrary (decimal point position and display unit can be specified)
• Auto (decimal point position and display unit are selected automatically according to the integration result)

Demand Management

Investigate electric power consumption rate for an item of equipment, an area of a plant or a complete facility. Get data beyond the 30-minute demand time frame that most utilities use to obtain average power usage by setting the demand time to units of seconds or minutes.

Power quality is an important and often overlooked element in reducing energy costs. If the power factor is not taken into account, an energy efficiency program could accidentally implement steps that increase the utility bill instead of lowering it. For example, replacing 100-watt incandescent bulbs with low-watt fluorescent bulbs saves energy but can worsen the power factor, possibly resulting in low power factor fines from the electric utility.

Measurement Elements:

• Maximum power demand required from the start of logging measurement and the time it occurs
• Active power, reactive (lag), power factor
• Active power quantity (consumption, regeneration), reactive power quantity (lagging/leading)

The CW240 also provides a demand feature that can be used to measure peak power usage over a specified time period. This data can be used to minimize peak power usage, or to shift peak usage to a more favorable time in accordance with electric utility time-of-day pricing.

Demand Time Setting:

• 1/2/5/10/15/30 seconds
• 1/2/5/10/15/30/60 minutes

Harmonic Measurement

Obtain detailed date to ensure a smooth power supply for operations, and prolong the life of equipment by reducing the effects of harmonics.

Inverter power supplies can cause distortions in voltages and currents, resulting in malfunctions, equipment damage and power loss. Therefore, it is critical to understand and monitor harmonics to ensure a reliable power supply. The CW240 provides displays of harmonics from the 1st to 50th for analysis to prevent problems.

Display Data:

• List, bar graph (linear/log)
• Vector (inflow/outflow judgment)

Measurement Elements:

• Level, content
• Phase angle (voltage, current, electric power of each harmonic)
• Agggregate value (voltage, current, electric power, power factor)
• Agggregate harmonic distortion factors (THD-F or THD-R) of voltage/current

THD-F

• Distortion factor for the fundamental wave, THD-R
• Distortion factor for all rms values voltage/current

Data Collection Time

• 1/2/5/10/15/30/60 minutes

Waveform Measurement

View in-depth information on waveforms through easy-to-understand graphs.

Waveform measurement provides multiple ways to measure and analyze waveforms to see large waveform distortions that can indicate a potential problem in the system.

Measurement Elements:

• Voltage of each phase
• Current of each phase
• Voltage and current of each phase

Data Saving Format:

• Binary
• Can be converted to CSV format using a standard application program

Voltage Fluctuation Management

Protect equipment from harmful power fluctuations by understanding exactly when and where these flucutuations occur.

The CW240 detects dates/times of when fluctuations occur as well as the type of fluctuation, the channels where they occur, rms values and the periods between start and end. Once the voltage threshold is set, the fluctuations exceeding the threshold are detected.

Measurement Element:

• Voltage dip (voltage drop)
• Voltage swell (voltage rise)
• Instantanreous power failure

Data Saving

• Detected based on the voltage rms value of one waveform
• Up to 100 data sets can be saved

FUNCTIONALITY

Functionalities unique to the CW240 make setting up and operating the power meter easy.

• Measure Loads in Four Systems Simultaneously: The CW240 enables measurement in four systems at the same time in a single-phase 2-wire system. In the case of a single three-phase 3-wire system, it can measure two systems simultaneously.
• Reduce Set-up Time and Errors: Its wiring check function prevents wiring errors and provides an easy to understand diagram for matching wiring. The setting check function prevents data acquisiting errors from mistakes in voltage range settings, current clamp selection or data save item.
• Measure Leakage Current: Proprietary technology enables measurements with a 200.0 mA range.
• Save Large Amounts of Data: Using an external memory card (compact flash) enables large amounts of data to be saved.
• Save Analog Data Simulataneously: The Input/Output Analog component enables analog data, such as temperature and illuminance data, to be saved simulataneously with power analog data.

More Valuable Functions

Measure Loads in Four Systems Simultaneously

The CW240 enables measurement in four systems at the same time in a single-phase 2-wire system. In the case of a single three-phase 3-wire system, it can measure two systems simultaneously.

• Current clamp range/range can be set for each system.
• Measurement is attained of the current flowing in each load.

Reduce Set-up Time and Errors

Wiring Check Function
Prior to start of measurement, the CW240 checks whether wiring is correct. Wiring errors, reversal of current clamps and phases to checked can displayed in a vector diagram to show errors and facilitate correct wiring.

Setting Check Function
Settings made for data saving can be checked in the screen. This prevents data acquisition errors that may occur due to mistakes in voltage range setting, current clamp selection or data save item selection.

Measure Leakage Current

External magnetic field effect is 0.002A or less at 400A/m

Yokogawa's proprietary technology has achieved a magnetic field impact amount of 30 ppm even in adjacent power lines (at 100A).

For use with the 2A current clamp probe (96036).

Save Large Amounts of Data

Use of an external memory card (computer flash) makes it possible to save a large amount of data. A Yokogawa memory card of up to 512 MB can be used, and data is saved in an CSV format. In addition, the CW240 has a 1MB internal memory.

Save Analog Data Simultaneously

Analog Input/Output

Analog data, such as temperature and illuminance data, can be saved simultaneously with power can send data by using the analog input function (2 channels).

The available input ranges are 100 mV/1 V/5 V. In addition, the analog output function (4 channels) can send data to an external recorder, allowing data duplexing . Output is +/- VDC.

The analog input/output function is optional.
