Ensuring that your power system is on-line all the time and delivering high quality power is no easy task. The key is accurate power data and having easy access to the information.

• Megger, Inc.'s PA-9 Plus Portable Power Quality Analyzer is a multi-functional power analyzer with 9 input channels (4 voltage, 5 current) for monitoring typical and complete 3-phase services; on board display of waveforms, harmonics, and direction of harmonic power flow; large 12 megabyte internal memory; self-powered and powers flexible current probes; AC or DC powered; and a high-speed sampling rate - 256 samples/cycle.
  
  
• Megger, Inc.'s new PA-9 Wireless is the PA-9 power monitor outfitted with wireless capabilities in order to communicate with the unit remotely via your cellular network. No more back and forth to collect data on a remote unit, you can save travel time and money by looking at the data from your desktop. What's more, this full-featured PQ instrument is in a new rugged, NEMA 4 case and operates in a wide range of operating temperatures making it perfect for outdoor projects. The unit can power itself from 90-240VAC 50Hz or 100-600VDC. Applications ideal for this unit include long term power quality applications or those with intermittent problems …especially in remote locations, wireless PQ monitoring of substations, and monitoring of locations without phone lines even pole monitoring.
  
  
• Dranetz-BMI's PowerXplorer PX5 features digitized high-speed sampling and data capture (1 microsecond/channel) to capture and analyze microsecond-wide transients. The unit features 8 channels (4 current, 4 voltage), easy-to-navigate color touch screen, as well as advanced set-up features such as detecting wiring configurations for automatic set-up. The PX5 characterizes hundreds of parameters including IEEE 1459. The PowerXplorer PX5-4400 has the same advanced monitoring and measurement features and can be used for 400 Hz, as well as 50/60 Hz.
  
  
• Dranetz-BMI's PowerGuide 4400 features all of the touch-screen capabilities and automatic features as the PowerXplorer with a sampling speed of 256 samples per cycle. The 4400 has a wide variety of applications.
  
  
• Dranetz-BMI has introduced the next generation of permanently installed power monitoring, the Encore Series, an intelligent, powerful monitoring system that features a configurable, modular design that will give users the exact information that they need. Information is accessible via the Web using a standard Web browser or locally through an easy-to-use touch screen interface. The Encore Series units are compact and fit into all of those "little" spaces and come with an affordable price tag that will pleasantly surprise you.
  
  
• Dranetz-BMI's Signature System is a data management and decision support system that collects and communicates power system data and helps identify the root cause of power quality problems. The system allows you to monitor and analyze power data on a continuous basis from wherever you are located using a standard Web browser and can even notify you of impending problems. Here's how it works: The full range of power quality parameters - including current, voltage, demand, and energy are collected through DataNodes^TM, which you configure to specific triggers/alarms. Data is communicated to InfoNodes^TM, where a power database is created and managed. The InfoNode^TM is also the communication portal of the system. Up to 10 people can simultaneously view data through the Internet, your company's Intranet, or remotely via modem. All you need to access the Signature System^TM data is a Web browser - there's no proprietary software to learn, install, or upgrade. Alarms and alerts are delivered to your pager, e-mail, cell phone, or existing building/facility management system. When coupled with AnswerModules^TM, the Signature System^TM will diagnosis data by taking collected power signatures and automatically identifying the cause in real-time. Save 5% to 10% on energy costs by managing energy consumption (base and peak loads, aggregate multiple loads, and more) with the new Signature System Answer Module on Energy Management. The Signature System can also monitor analog inputs like temperature and humidity.
  
  
• Dranetz-BMI's MeasuringPAD is for temporary, but critical on-site data acquisition. The high-speed, portable MeasuringPAD has 16 differential channels and is a convenient and economical solution for simply collecting and monitoring data. At the same time, users have the speed and touch-screen operation of other Dranetz-BMI handheld instruments.
  
  
• For utilities - Megger's MDP series of Distribution Profilers help to easily and accurately evaluate loading on feeders and overhead lines, as well as identify needed upgrades or replacements. Units record current up to 1000 amps with an additional 200 amp over-range and have advanced software for sophisticated testing. Test data available includes power factor, power and relative voltage magnitude, waveform capture, and harmonic analysis up to the 32nd order. Three models of profilers are available to meet your application. Lightweight, durable units are easy to use and install.
  
  
• Megger, Inc.'s meter adapter recorders are a complete recorder in a meter adapter. Just plug-in to Forms 2S, 12S, or 25S meters to record voltage and current at the meter. These high-performance meter adapter recorders detect sags, swells, flicker, loose neutrals, and harmonic events. Features include half cycle response time, sub cycle event capture as fast as 65 seconds, flicker recording, internal display with indicating LEDs, and an optically isolated RS-232 port that allows viewing of real-time voltage/current and data retrieval without uninstalling the recorder. Metrosoft software makes report writing a snap. Units are upgradeable to a complete power analyzer with harmonic analysis through the 50th harmonic.
