AVOIDING POWER QUALITY PROBLEMS COMBINED POWER QUALITY AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION MONITORING LINAX PQ-SERIES LINAX PQ3000 ▪ LINAX PQ5000

POWER QUALITY POWER SYSTEM MONITORING Comprehensive instrument for power quality monitoring in electric mains Traditionally, power quality monitoring is only conducted as a reaction to trouble such as device failure, plant malfunctions, process interruptions or communication breakdowns. However, all these problems cost money and nobody wants to experience the same thing again just to be able to create a corresponding record for analysis. Therefore, the biggest advantage of continuous power quality monitoring is that users put themselves in a position to proactively build up their knowledge thus...

POWER SYSTEM MONITORING POWER QUALITY AVOIDING POWER QUALITY PROBLEMS - THROUGH CONTINUOUS MONITORING Disruptions of the energy supply may result in production or equipment outages. Often people do not react until great financial damage has been caused. Yet, many of these incidents could be avoided if the signs were recognised in the continuous monitoring of the situation. Any form of power quality monitoring provides both a statistical evaluation allowing the comparison with standards (e.g. EN 50160) or supply contracts as well as records of events in the grid (e.g. voltage dips). This facilitates...

POWER QUALITY DATA RECORDING Apart from the automatic recording of power quality statistics, the high-performance data logger provides the following recording options: • PERIODIC DATA This feature allows to record the time course of measured variables. Averaged measurements or meter contents serve as base and are saved in regular intervals. Typical applications are the acquisition of load profiles (intervals of 10s to 1h) or the determination of the energy consumption from the difference of meter readings. For both categories pre-defined courses are available, based on the system power values, and...

POWER QUALITY POWER SYSTEM MONITORING OPERATION AND ANALYSIS OPERATION The local operation at the device itself and the access via web interface are structured identically. One can access the available measured data, parametrise the instrument or use the service functions via the language-specific, topically structured menu navigation. The status bar at the top right, uniformly shows the statuses of alarm monitoring, the password protection system, the data recording and the UPS as well as time and date. Apart from the details of the PQ statistics, all data are available via both the local GUI...
