What Are The Uses Of Power Quality Meter and Analyzers?
A number of manufacturers make “power-quality meters” and “power quality analyzers,” which are instruments similar to oscilloscopes, but that have a number of functions particularly suited to making power-quality measurements.
In measuring power quality, we must be able to trigger on events that are not continuous (such as a voltage sag) or transient (like that caused by lightning strikes or utility faults). For instance, typical power quality meters/ analyzers and analyzers have the following functionalities:
■ Data logging—capturing waveforms in real-time for later display
■ The ability to trigger on power-quality events such as sags, swells, or transients
■ Calculation of power-quality metrics such as total harmonic distortion in real-time
■ Spectrum analysis
■ Inputs for high-voltage probes and high-current probes. Numerous factors should be considered when selecting a power quality measurement meter/analyzer, including:
■ The number of channels (for instance, single-phase or three-phase)
■ The input voltage range
■ The current measurement range
■ Isolation
■ Communication capabilities (For example, can the instrument be networked or tied to a stand-alone computer?)
The power-quality analyzer A/D converts system voltages and currents. Power indices such as THD, harmonic content, and the like are calculated in real-time. In addition, the analyzer has on-board memory so data may be saved for future analysis.
In the output of a typical power-quality analyzer we see the time waveform of the line current in a copy machine and the harmonics.
I like your blog, you shared valuable information about in Harmonic distortions are one of the most common and irritating problems in industrial environment. We need to identify the source of harmonics and suppress them for a quality supply of power. Please visit Harmonic Analysis
