Troubleshooting
The PowerXplorer PX5- 400’s unique annunciator “report card” provides instant power quality answers in the field. A wide range of power monitoring data is collected, analyzed and tabulated in color-coded categories to quickly identify areas
of concern, which are identified in red. Drill down for more detailed information by simply touching the intuitive touch screen to locate the source and pinpoint the root cause of power quality disturbances.
The PowerXplorer®PX5-400 was designed specifically for measuring and monitoring power on both 50/60 and 400 Hz power systems on ships, aircraft, submarines, and the testing of equipment used on such. This unique instrument integrates the most advanced feature set available in a power monitoring instrument, with automated setups and an easy-to-navigate, color graphical user interface. With high-speed sampling and data capture (down to 1 microsecond/channel), this 8-channel workhorse simultaneously captures and characterizes thousands of parameters, using a range of standard and customizable operating modes. The PowerXplorer PX5-400 collects data at 256 samples/cycle/channel, is designed for both AC and DC applications, and meets MIL-STD-1399, IEEE 1159, IEC 61000-4-30 and EN50160 standards.
Mil Standard 1399 Testing
This interface standard for shipboard systems is the approved testing protocol for naval sea standards and all relevant departments within the US DOD. The electric power system serves a variety of user equipment including aircraft elevators, communication systems, weapon systems and computers. The testing protocol is
used to verify compatibility with a prescribed list of characteristics and tolerances including transients, sags and spikes, unbalance, frequency tolerances and harmonics. Recommended testing apparatus – a voltmeter, frequency meter, oscilloscope, harmonics meter, and current transformers – can all be replaced with one instrument, the PowerXplorer PX5- 400.
Power Measurement
Equipment being used in these applications must be tested in all operating modes, including 400 Hz, to ensure that critical test and operational equipment fits with the power supply. The PowerXplorer PX5-400 collects a range of parameters – from
load-related factors such as watts, VA, VAR, frequency instability, power factor and load excursions – to power quality information including sags, swells, transients and harmonics. Users can select the length and mode of data collection, including troubleshooting, data logging, power quality surveys, energy and load balancing.
Fast Transient Capture
The PowerXplorer PX5- 400 uses digitized high-speed sampling to capture and analyze microsecond-wide transients (Dranetz 658-like and BMI 8800-like). Transients, generated by fast-switching electronics, computer systems, aircraft
components, and load transfer are immediately characterized as impulsive or oscillatory and detailed for further analysis. The PowerXplorer PX5- 400 delivers a full profile, with events time stamped to the millisecond of the entire transient, to pinpoint the exact source and cause of the event.
Power Quality Diagnostics
The PowerXplorer PX5- 400 has a built-in event characterizer that labels events to directly support troubleshooting and the gathering of survey data – for improving power quality and equipment reliability, as well as for matching the requirements
and susceptibilities of that equipment to the incoming supply. Plus, the PowerXplorer PX5- 400 captures detailed harmonics, interharmonics and subharmonics to effectively troubleshoot the complex problems caused by these events.
Equipment Testing
Evaluating and testing the performance of military components and computerized systems under true operating conditions – 400 Hz or other – is key to ensuring a successful mission. The PowerXplorer PX5- 400 incorporates advanced features
such as RMS triggers, advanced transient capture, and cross triggering between channels to ensure that all equipment is working properly. Plus, real time reading observing during testing, startup and maintenance enable users to see results and tweak equipment on-the-fly.
POWERXPLORER
Data can be viewed in real time using scope mode, meter
mode, event mode, harmonics spectrum or phasor diagrams.
Data is captured on a memory card for analysis, trending,
visualization and reporting using industry-leading DRAN-VIEW
®
software. DRAN-VIEW makes it simple to trend events, correlate data, analyze
worst-case scenarios, see frequency fluctuations, generate custom reports, and
understand complex issues such as transients and harmonics.
