Álava Ingenieros, together with Yokogawa Test & Measurement and Cinergia, launches the new generation of instrumentation for Power Electronics applications

The most accurate and versatile power analyzer on the market
The new YOKOGAWA WT5000 is the first of a new generation of power analyzers offering exceptional power measurement accuracy of ±0,03% at 50/60 Hz which, combined with stability, noise immunity and modular flexibility , allows to cover the most demanding measurement needs of today. Its 7 power input modules allow you to measure harmonics in three-phase systems, as well as display the harmonics of two functions simultaneously, each of them up to the order 500 and up to 300kHz of the fundamental frequency. The 30A and 5A inputs can be interchanged for testing with electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, ideal if you have a wide variety of motors to work with. The /MTR1 and /MTR2 options of the WT5000 allow evaluating up to four motors simultaneously on the same equipment. Thanks to these four inputs, it is possible to measure phases A, B, C and Z of each motor. We must not forget that one of the essential elements to determine the performance of a power measurement instrument is the A/D converter, the WT5000 uses an 18-bit converter with a maximum sampling frequency of 10 MS/s.

  • Accuracy of 0,03% at 50/60 Hz in power measurement (0.01% reading + 0.02% range)
  • 10MS/s 18-bit ADC
  • Up to 7 interchangeable power modules with 30 A, 5 A inputs and external sensor
  • 4 inputs for motor evaluation
  • Touch screen
  • 32 GB internal memory

Scopecorders as a solution for flexible multichannel data acquisition
YOKOGAWA's new ScopeCorder DL350 is the most complete and fully portable measurement instrument capable of capturing, displaying, recording and analyzing a wide variety of electrical and physical parameters in industrial sectors such as automotive, electronics, energy, transportation and mechatronics. Like other models in Yokogawa's ScopeCorder family, the DL350 combines features of a general-purpose oscilloscope and a high-speed data acquisition system in a single portable instrument. Unlike other portable measurement solutions, such as oscilloscopes and oscilloscope/multimeter combos, the DL350 adds exceptionally high levels of precision in field measurements, optically isolated inputs for high-voltage measurements, and large memory capabilities that allow recording for several hours or even days. Another key feature of the ScopeCorder DL350, not offered by other portable instruments, is its plug & play modularity, which allows it to be interchangeably configured to suit a wide variety of user applications. Either to perform simple, high-precision voltage measurements or to record a mixture of signals from current probes, temperature sensors, extensometers, accelerometers and serial buses (CAN-FD, LIN,...).

  • Type of Modules: Up to 18 interchangeable models
  • Number of Channels: Up to 32 channels in the same equipment
  • Sample rate: Up to 100 MS/s sample rate
  • Acquisition Memory: Up to 100 mill. of points per module
  • Isolation: Optically isolated channels
  • Extras: GPS input, Touch screen, laptop with internal battery

New PLUS range of bidirectional and regenerative AC/DC power converters that can operate as Source or Load in the same equipment
CINERGIA is a Spanish company with more than 10 years of experience specializing in the design, development, manufacturing and commissioning of power converters specially designed for academic, research and laboratory testing applications. The power converter is based on a bidirectional structure with a back-to-back topology, enabling power regeneration to the electrical grid and 2Q and 4Q applications, whose unit power ranges go from 7.5 to 200kVA with the possibility of parallelization. The new PLUS range of CINERGIA power converters has not only improved the operating and control part, but also provides higher speed and greater calculation power. The new GE/EL+ vAC/DC model is the most complete equipment in its portfolio. It combines the functionalities of four products in a single unit:

  • The GE+ vAC (Bidirectional 4Q Regenerative Grid Emulator)
  • The DCPS+ (4Q Bidirectional Regenerative DC Source)
  • The EL+ vAC (AC 4Q Bidirectional Regenerative Electronic Load)
  • The EL+ vDC (Bidirectional DC 4Q Regenerative Electronic Load).

The selection of the type of operation (GE or EL) is done through the boot SW. Mode selection (AC or DC) is done via a manual switch. It should be noted that the control system and the operating software have been fully developed by the CINERGIA engineering team, so there is the possibility of adapting their solutions to the specific needs of each application.
