In this professional overview, we delve into the critical subject of power quality, a pervasive issue impacting industries and workplaces globally. Jeff Rainey from Yokogawa Corporation of America's Meters and Instruments division introduces the CW500 Portable Power Quality Analyzer, a sophisticated tool designed to address and mitigate the myriad problems arising from poor power quality. These issues range from reduced productivity and increased downtime to unexpected machine damage and loss, often caused by natural or man-made disturbances. The CW500 offers comprehensive features for demand measurement, power measurement across various phases, power quality analysis up to the 50th harmonic, and more. It's engineered for user-friendliness, with a quick start guide, wiring and vector diagrams, and the ability to log data in real-time. This video serves as a concise guide to understanding the importance of power quality and how the CW500 can lead to electrical power excellence.
The Yokogawa CW500 is a portable power analyzer that logs transient power phenomena in addition to measuring single to three phase power.
Power quality analyzers combine the best features of a power meter with an energy panel meter, allowing them to monitor not only multi-phase power systems, but also track anomalies in the power system.
