Automotive Manufacturing – Measuring for efficiency

Two key criteria for successful development and mainstream adoption of (hybrid) electric vehicles are - reliability and driving range. The lower the loss in electric systems, the longer their lifetime and the more efficient the drivetrain, the longer the driving range. But as powertrains, charging systems, infotainment and safety systems grow more sophisticated in the ear of the connected car, hybrid and electric vehicle development requires mechatronic analyses of unprecedented certainty and flexibility.

More than a test tool 

Typically, a portable scope or test tool is used by an engineer to diagnose faults on a production line in real-time, or to carry out tests in a workshop. But how can faults be detected and diagnosed when they are intermittent and the engineer needs to be somewhere else? On the other hand, a portable data logger can capture lots of data, including the faults over a period of time, but requires the data to be searched and analysed later to make sense of it.

Overview:

The WTViewerE is a powerful software that supports remote analysis and control of multichannel measurements from the WT series of Yokogawa power analyzers. In addition to real-time control of remote measurements in multiple formats and customizable layouts, the latest version of the software allows any 4 Yokogawa power analyzers regardless of configuration to be synchronized for multi-unit measurements.  This allows for sophisticated computations for larger applications that may need more than one power analyzer.

    Overview:

    This video demonstrates how to test to an IEC standard (IEC 61000) using a Yokogawa Test&Measurement WT5000 Precision Power Analyzer and the harmonic flicker testing software. The software automates the process of judging if the device under test is compliant with the chosen standard and allows you to output the necessary test reports for your records.

    Overview:

    This video demonstrates how to measure transient phenomena on power signals using the Yokogawa Test&Measurement PX8000 Precision Power Scope.

    In several applications, especially those testing AC power to a standard such as IEC61000-3-11, the voltage and current signals must be monitored to confirm there are no major dips and/or swells in the signal. This can be done with instruments capable of reporting rms values, including power analyzers, traditional oscilloscopes, and some data acquisition systems.

    To test to a standard, however, the instrument must have an accuracy spec that is traceable back to a national standard of calibration such as ISO17025 or NIST.
