Power Quality Metering Recommendations?

[lucasPeni]

I am in need of getting some new PQ meters at work, both for energy monitoring and troubleshooting. I was wondering if anyone here has utilized them and have any for or against recommendations.

More specifically I’m looking for this sort of thing

• 3 or 4 isolated input channels 600Vac max (1kv preferred)

• 3 or 4 current clamp channels (clamps for 0-20A and flexible up to say 2kA)

• Interval and exception (transient) recording

• Three phase setup and power calculations

• Harmonica for current, voltage, and power up to say 21st harmonic (60Hz)

• Couple gigs of storage

• Bus-powered from PT channel a plus

If anyone else here is doing troubleshooting or PQ work, let me know if you have any suggestions.

I’ve been using Dranetz PowerVisa, PowerGuide, and PowerExplorer. Had mixed experience with their new PQHD line.

Hello @lucasPeni ,

Have you looked at the ION9000 series?

Examples of software that can connect to this meter include ION Setup (free) and Power monitoring Expert (90 free trial then requires purchasing a license).
