Product catalog summary
Overview
The Varcorder is a device designed for easy deployment on power lines to collect and analyze load and power profiles. It records data at user-defined intervals and can be quickly downloaded to a PC via an infrared connection.

Features
  • Measures and records Amps and Power Factor.
  • Calculates VARs using a voltage constant applied in software.
  • Records readings for over 90 days.
  • Equipped with an infrared serial port for data transfer.
  • Data can be saved in .csv or .xls formats.
  • Durable housing resistant to shock and water, suitable for severe utility environments.

Applications
  • Load balance checks.
  • Load VAR flow studies.
  • Meter verification.
  • Power diversion studies.

VARCORDER-1

VARCORDER AMP, POWER FACTOR, + VAR RECORDER FEATURES Easily deploys to the line in seconds Collect and analyze load + power profiles Records data at user definable intervals Quickly downloads data via IrDA to PC OPTIMIZE OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION Temporarily install Varcorders on each phase to gather load and VAR flow profiles on the overhead distribution system. The Varcorder measures and records Amps and Power Factor. A voltage constant is then applied in software to calculate VARs. True Power Factor is calculated by measuring the electric field in comparison with the current reported from the amp sensor. The key feature of the unit is the ability to leave it deployed on the line to record readings at user definable intervals for 90+ days. It easily attaches to the line with a standard shotgun style hot stick. Once deployed, the Varcorder immediately begins to collect and record the current and power factor on the line. The Varcorder is equipped with an infrared serial port for communicating the recorded data into the user’s PC. The data is downloaded through SensorLink’s Softlink software, which allows the user to download, view, and graph the data stored in the unit. The data can be saved as a .csv or .xls file for review in other data management programs. The housing of the unit is built to operate safely, even in severe utility environments. It is resistant to shock, repels water, and operates in a wide temperature range. The Varcorder has a urethane carabiner latch assembly, which allows it to hang on the line securely in all weather conditions. This drive-by recorder is an excellent instrument to gather data in researching problem sources due to distributed energy, motors, and other power quality issues.
