INTRODUCTION

The Dranetz HDPQ hand-held, eight-channel power quality meter/monitors which are very similar in operation, although the Xplorer also has a high speed sampling board for capturing the details of very fast transients. The features common to all monitors are covered in this document, and the Xplorer name will be used to represent all four instruments unless otherwise noted. These cutting-edge power quality instruments are designed with a 7” WVGA wide screen LCD, using touch screen technology. They can monitor, record and display data on four voltage channels, as well as four current channels simultaneously.

The Xplorer is designed to meet both the IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000-430 Class A standards for accuracy and measurement requirements. It can do PQ-optimized acquisition of power quality related disturbances and events. It is designed with a statistical package called Quality of Supply (QOS), with monitoring and setup protocols set to determine voltage measurement compliance required for EN50160 monitoring. European standard EN50160 requires that measurement parameters must be within a specified percentage for 95% of the time.

The Xplorer also allows you to perform automatic setup or to customize threshold settings for power quality or energy/demand. The power quality and energy/demand dashboard interface helps you monitor and manage energy consumption including utility costs.

The Xplorer firmware can monitor power quality and energy/demand phenomena for troubleshooting and/or compliance purposes. It can record inrush conditions, carry out long-term statistical studies to establish performance baselines, and perform field-based equipment testing and evaluation for commissioning and maintenance. The firmware integrates an intuitive instrument setup procedure to ensure the capture of all relevant data for additional post process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other compatible Dranetz software applications such as Dran-View

Xplorer, Xplorer 400, Guide and Visa are portable,
