The PowerXplorer integrates the most advanced
feature set available in a power monitoring instrument, with an
easy-to-navigate, color graphical user interface.
With high-speed
sampling and data capture (1 microsecond/channel), this 8-channel
workhorse simultaneously captures and characterizes thousands of
parameters, using a range of standard and customizable operating modes.
The unique measurement capabilities of the PowerXplorer include capture
of low-medium-high frequency transients through peak, waveshape, rms
duration and adaptive high-speed sampling, as well as power
measurements to clearly characterize non-sinusoidal and unbalanced
systems.
Typical Applications:
Fast Transient Capture: The PowerXplorer
uses digitized high-speed sampling to capture and analyze
microsecond-wide transients (Dranetz 658-like and BMI 8800-like). The
PowerXplorer delivers a full profile, with events time stamped to the
millisecond of the entire transient, to pinpoint the exact source and
cause of the event.
Power Quality Surveys and Diagnostics: The PowerXplorer
has a built-in event characterizer that directly supports
troubleshooting and the gathering of survey data—for improving power
quality and equipment reliability.
Capacitor Switching Events: A drawback of
capacitors is that they yield oscillatory transients when switched.
These transients can propagate through the local power system, causing
damage to equipment and processes. The PowerXplorer captures and
identifies these fast transients.
Load Distortion and Imbalance: The PowerXplorer
measures the full range of arithmetic, vector and sequencing parameters
contained in IEEE 1459, to evaluate distortion and restore balanced
loads.
Flicker: The PowerXplorer
captures flicker data per IEC 6100-4-15, which can be further evaluated
using Dran-View visualization, analysis and reporting software.
Compliance Monitoring: The PowerXplorer
has been designed to meet the most advanced power quality standards,
including IEEE 1159, IEC 61000-4-30 Class A and EN50160. A statistical
output is produced to quickly verify compliance with international
quality-of-supply standards and benchmark power quality.
Harmonics: The PowerXplorer
captures detailed harmonics, interharmonics and subharmonics to
effectively troubleshoot the complex problems caused by these events.
