Analysers aid power quality improvement
The 800 Series of power analysers from Ideal Industries provides a complete solution for measuring and analysing power quality and troubleshooting power quality problems.
The 800 Series of power analysers from Ideal Industries provides a complete solution for measuring and analysing power quality and troubleshooting power quality problems Suitable for use with both single- and three-phase electrical systems the tools offer benefits by saving time, productivity and revenue wastage caused by power quality disturbances
With their easy use, compact design and strong price/performance ratio, the power analysers are specially designed with the testing needs of service technicians and troubleshooting in mind.
The tool can be used to check power quality in commercial and industrial electrical power systems at supply, internal distribution and internal load origins.
Featuring true RMS readings for error-free testing, the power analysers allow customised data collection in a range of power and harmonics measurements.
Furthermore, the 806 and 807 power analysers feature four-clamp testing making neutral current measurement possible.
The analysers enable specific power quality measurements in four programs: energy and harmonics, disturbances, check-meter and fast-check.
Energy and harmonics programs come as standard, whereas disturbances, check-meter and fast-check are available separately.
The disturbances function enables tracking of sags, swells and transients and captures waveforms for analysis.
The check-meter monitors performance of inline energy meters, storing data comparing against mechanical or electrical meters.
Fast-check mode captures transient waveforms caused by motor startups and monitors key power and energy measurements.
Holding 1Mbyte of data logging memory, the power analysers allow data to be stored and downloaded to a personal computer where they can be analysed in-depth using the accompanying PowerVision analysis software.
The tool also facilitates instantaneous readouts including tables, bargraphs and individual waveforms for simple on-the-job data interpretation.
"Power quality is important to anyone relying on equipment and systems that are sensitive to electrical disturbances.
The impact of power quality disturbances can be substantial.
Even the smallest variation can have significant implications for organisations in the form of lost time, productivity and revenue", comments Tony Kumeta, Business Manager, Ideal Industries.
"The 800 Series power analysers provide the complete solution for troubleshooting, monitoring and analysis of power quality and represents the latest addition to Ideal's comprehensive range of flexible, functional, cost effective, productive and reliable electrical test and measurement products".
The 800 Series is suitable for electrical installers, service technicians or facilities management people looking to save energy costs.
The tool can be used to monitor power circuits in electrical installations, check fixed installed electricity/power meters and to get a balanced load on all phases of a three phase installation as well as troubleshooting in electrical installations to find harmonics, sags, swells and spikes.
All 800 Series power analysers come complete with RS232 interface and power supply, 1000A clamp adapters, test leads and alligator clips.
A range of additional accessories is available.
