Power Xpert |
 |
|
Next generation revenue grade power quality meter series. The
new electronic meters provide the following functionality:
 |
Accurately detects fast transients that previous
generation monitors would miss, by assessing circuit
activity at very high sampling rates (up to 100,000 samples
per cycle). |
|
|
Provides early warning of impending problems by plotting
power events against an ITIC curve of acceptable conditions,
not just simple thresholds and triggers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allows an at-a-glance view of power quality with
intuitive visual displays, statistically derived trending
and red-yellow-green indicators of overall power health. |
|
|
Dramatically reduces the cost of monitoring power
quality, compared to yesterday’s specialized power quality
instruments and consultants. |
|
|
Supports continuous, non-disruptive monitoring with a
permanently installed meter that is continuously on the job,
24x7. |
|
|
Accesses Power Xpert meters via the Ethernet to set
triggers, capture distorted waveforms and email them
automatically for analysis. |
|
|
Uses industry-standard communication protocols, to
support a multitude of configurations and third-party
software.
|
|
|
The new Power Xpert™ line of Electronic Meters has four main series
and each provide unique addition functions.
|
|
The Power Xpert 2000 Meter provided all the core functions for monitoring power consumption and power quality along with up to 768 MB for data logging, Ethernet connectivity and onboard gateway card limits. This unit uses D/A technology to sample circuits at 400 samples per cycle for accurate measurement of power factor and energy consumption. |
|
|
The Power Xpert 4000 Meter provides core functions for
monitoring power consumption and power quality. This unit
uses Delta Sigma technology to sample circuits at 1024
samples per cycle for extremely accurate measurement of
harmonics and other events. |
|
|
The Power Xpert 6000 Meter adds another level of
sampling ability, using a combination of voltage and
duration to isolate sub-cycle oscillatory transients. An
optional 512MB memory card provides generous storage for
waveforms and other event data. |
|
|
The Power Xpert 8000 Meter adds the ability to capture
very fast transients by sampling at 6 MHz — 100,000 samples
per cycle. That’s a sample every 166 nanoseconds—six samples
every millionth of a second, across three input channels and
neutral-to-ground. |
The Power Xpert™ Meters can be used in various applications
including the following:
|
|
Energy Management |
