Chapter 1: Overview

Overview

1.1 Introduction to the PQMII

1.1.1 Description

The GE Multilin PQMII Power Quality Meter is an ideal choice for continuous monitoring of a single or three-phase system. It provides metering for current, voltage, real power, reactive power, apparent power, energy use, cost of power, power factor, and frequency. Programmable setpoints and four assignable output relays allow control functions to be added for specific applications. This includes basic alarm on over/under current or voltage, unbalance, demand-based load shedding, and capacitor power factor correction control. More complex control is possible using the four switch inputs; these can also be used for status information such as breaker open/closed and flow information.
As a data gathering device for plant automation systems that integrate process, instrument, and electrical requirements, all monitored values are available via one of two RS485 communication ports running the Modbus protocol. If analog values are required for direct interface to a PLC, any of the monitored values can output as a 4 to 20 mA (or 0 to 1 mA) signal to replace up to four (4) separate transducers. A third RS232 communication port connects to a PC from the front panel for simultaneous access of information by other plant personnel.
With increasing use of electronic loads such as computers, ballasts, and variable frequency drives, the quality of the power system is important. With the harmonic analysis option, any phase current or voltage can be displayed and the harmonic content calculated. Knowledge of the harmonic distribution allows action to be taken to prevent overheated transformers, motors, capacitors, neutral wires, and nuisance breaker trips. Redistribution of system loading can also be determined. The PQMII can also provide waveform and data printouts to assist in problem diagnosis.

1.2 Standard Features

1.2.1 Metering

True RMS monitoring of Ia, Ib, Ic, In, Van, Vbn, Vcn, Vab, Vbc, Vca, voltage/current unbalance, power factor, line frequency, watts, vars, VA, Wh, varh, VAh, and demand readings for A, W, vars, and VA. Maximum and minimum values of measured quantities are recorded and are date and time stamped.
A 40-character liquid crystal display is used for programming setpoints and monitoring values and status.

1.2.2 Alarms

Alarm conditions can be set up for all measured quantities. These include overcurrent, undercurrent, neutral current, current unbalance, voltage unbalance, phase reversal, overfrequency, underfrequency, power factor, switch inputs, etc. The alarm messages are displayed in a simple and easy to understand English format .

1.2.3 Communications

The PQMII is equipped with one standard RS485 port utilizing the Modbus or DNP protocols. This can be used to integrate process, instrumentation, and electrical requirements in a plant automation system by connecting several PQMII meters together to a DCS or SCADA system. A PC running the EnerVista PQMII Setup Software can change system setpoints and monitor values, status, and alarms. Continuous monitoring minimizes process downtime by immediately identifying potential problems due to faults or changes from growth.
The PQMII also includes a front RS232 port which can be used for the following tasks:
• data monitoring
• problem diagnosis
•viewing event records
•trending
• printing settings and/or actual values
• loading new firmware into the PQMII

1.2.4 Future Expansion

Flash memory is used to store firmware within the PQMII. This allows future product upgrades to be loaded via the serial port.
PQMII POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1–5

1.2.5 Open Architecture

PQMII units can initially be used as standalone meters. Their open architecture allows connection to other Modbus compatible devices on the same communication link. These can be integrated in a complete plant-wide system for overall process monitoring and control.

1.3 Optional Features

1.3.1 Transducer Input/Outputs

Four isolated 4 to 20 mA (or 0 to 1 mA depending on the installed option) analog outputs are provided that can replace up to eight transducers. The outputs can be assigned to any measured parameters for direct interface to a PLC.
One 4 to 20 mA analog input is provided to accept a transducer output for displaying information such as temperature or water level.
An additional rear RS485 communication port is provided for simultaneous monitoring by process, instrument, electrical, or maintenance personnel.
FIGURE 1–4: Additional Communication Port

1.3.2 Control Option

An additional three dry-contact form “C” output relays and four dry-contact switch inputs are provided. These additional relays can be combined with setpoints and inputs/outputs for control applications. Possibilities include:
• undercurrent alarm warnings for pump protection
• overvoltage/undervoltage for generators
• unbalance alarm warnings to protect rotating machines
• dual level power factor for capacitor bank switching
• underfrequency/demand output for load shedding resulting in power cost saving
• kWh, kvarh and kVAh pulse output for PLC interface
• Pulse input for totalizing quantities such as kWh, kvarh, kVAh, etc.

CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

1.3.3 Power Analysis Option

Non-linear loads (such as variable speed drives, computers, and electronic ballasts) can cause unwanted harmonics that may lead to nuisance breaker tripping, telephone interference, and transformer, capacitor or motor overheating. For fault diagnostics such as detecting undersized neutral wiring, assessing the need for harmonic rated transformers, or judging the effectiveness of harmonic filters, details of the harmonic spectrum are useful and available with the power analysis option.

1–8 PQMII POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW
Voltage and current waveforms can be captured and displayed on a PC with the EnerVista PQMII Setup Software or EnerVista Viewpoint. Distorted peaks or notches from SCR switching provide clues for taking corrective action.
FIGURE 1–7: Captured Waveform
Alarms, triggers, and input/output events can be stored in a 150-event record and time/ date stamped by the internal clock. This is useful for diagnosing problems and system activity. The event record is available through serial communication. Minimum and maximum values are also continuously updated and time/date stamped.

Product attributes vary according to the configuration and options selected on the customer order. Before applying power to the PQMII, examine the label on the back and ensure the correct options are installed.
The following section explains the information included on the label shown below:
• Model No: Shows the PQMII configuration. The model number for a basic panel
mount PQMII is “PQMII”. T20, C, and A appear in the model number only if the Transducer, Control, or Power Analysis options are installed.
• Supply Voltage: Indicates the power supply input configuration installed in the
PQMII. The PQMII shown in this example can accept any AC 50/60Hz voltage from 70 to 265 V AC or DC voltage from 90 to 300 V DC.
• Tag#: An optional identification number specified by the customer.
• Mod#: Indicates if any unique features have been installed for special customer
orders. This number should be available when contacting GE Multilin for technical support.
• Version: An internal GE Multilin number that should be available when contacting
us for technical support.
• Serial No.: Indicates the serial number in numeric and barcode formats. Record
this number when contacting GE Multilin for technical support .
