TRUE RMS/REALLY BROADBAND
The Model 2330 Sampling Watt Meter is a precision, high accuracy,
auto-ranging watt meter which simultaneously measures and displays true rms Voltage,
true rms Current and true mean Power over a frequency range from dc to more than 600kHz.
Full scale Current and Voltage inputs are typically measured within ±0.1%
of the reading in amplitude to at least 400kHz. The corresponding Power is typically
measured to within ±0.1% of the input Volt-Amperes to 200kHz
and to within ±0.2% of the input Volt-Amperes to 400kHz for
loads of any Power Factor.
MULTI-FUNCTION (ENERGY)
In addition to the rms Voltage, rms Current, and mean square Power the Model 2330 watt
meter also measures simultaneously the peak Voltage, the peak Current and the
Frequency and calculates the Volt-Ampere product, the Power Factor and the Energy
accumulated over a period of time from 1-99 hours. These functions may be displayed or may
be read over the IEEE-488.2 interface. The Energy function makes compliance
with the Federal Guidelines for Standby Power Use quite straight forward.
(Executive Order 13221)
UNPARALLELED HIGH FREQUENCY ACCURACY
The Model 2330 watt meter allows broadband and high accuracy measurements of both
sinusoidal and highly distorted wave shapes. The Current, Voltage, Power, and Power Factor
accuracies to 400kHz of the Model 2330 far exceed any other sampling Volt-Ampere-Watt
Meter, or for that matter, with respect to Current or Voltage, almost all conventional
multimeters. Although reduced by a factor of two, excellent accuracy is maintained to
600kHz.
Full scale Power ranges exist for loads with impedances from (0.6V/1.5A) = 0.4W to (600V/1.5mA) = 400kW.
WIDE MEASUREMENT RANGE
The Model 2330 watt meter has full scale Power ranges from 1.0000mW to 10000W. With
external shunts or current to voltage transducers the upper range may be extended by a
factor of ten or one hundred. Full scale Voltage from 2.000V to 2000V (usable to 600V) and
full scale Current ranges from 5.000mA to 5.000A (all rms values) cover a wide range of
load impedances. Full scale Current and Voltage inputs may have crest factors up to three
while smaller inputs may have even higher crest factors. Sinusoidal inputs with rms values
of twice the nominal Full Scale value may be measured with no loss in accuracy.
POSSIBLE MEASUREMENT USES
Measurement of Ultrasonic Equipment of all types and power levels, Finished Transformers,
Transformer Core Material, Switching Power Supplies, Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts of all
types, Mercury Arc Lamp Circuits, Sodium Lamp Ballasts, Speed Controlled Motors of all
types, Efficiency of any device with an electrical input and an electrical output, SCR
Controlled Devices of all types, High Frequency and/or Distorted Currents from any source,
Voltage Response of any device from DC to 600kHz, and the Characteristics of Electric
Automobile Drives.
EASY TO CALIBRATE AND MAINTAIN
The Model 2330 watt meter is an all solid state instrument with optically isolated input
channels. All integrated circuits are in sockets. DC coupling in both channels allows
calibration and/or verification with high accuracy dc sources. Internal software
calibration routines allow most recalibrations to be accomplished without
screwdriver adjustments.
UNIQUE SAMPLING APPROACH / ISOLATED INPUTS
The Voltage and Current inputs of the Model 2330 watt meter are simultaneously sampled
(with 16 bit resolution), converted to digital form, and transmitted via optical links to
the main chassis. This allows both the Current and Voltage inputs to be completely
isolated from each other and from the main chassis. The asynchronous sampling frequency is
controlled by the system microprocessor in such a fashion that neither it nor any of its
harmonics can come close to the measured input frequency or any of its harmonics. This
precaution prevents "beats" with their accompanying jitter in the displayed
values.
IEEE-488.2 BUS CONTROL
The Model 2330 watt meter is equipped with an IEEE-488.2 interface which incorporates all
of the Common Commands and Queries. Any function that can be entered via the front panel
can be controlled via the IEEE bus. In addition, any or all of the functions which can be
displayed, can be queried and sent simultaneously to the Controller over the bus. The
status (e.g. Current range, Voltage range, etc) of the instrument may also be queried and
sent over the bus. The bus address is set from the front panel and is displayed both at
turn-on and when the Local key is depressed. A Remote lamp indicates that the watt meter
has been placed in its Remote state by the Controller.
