Miro PQ45-1k Power Quality Logger and Analyzer
  • Measures up to 1,000 V ACRMS. Ideal for the renewable energy sector, where output voltages are typically higher than 600 V, e.g., typical wind turbine generator output is 690 V
  • The ideal instrument for all your power quality analysis, compliance checks, voltage investigations, and asset monitoring
  • One-touch auto-generation of reports, e.g., Loss of Transformer Life (LOL), EN50160, NEC220.87, IEEE 519 (subscriptions may apply)
  • Ideal for all weather applications (NEMA 4X)
  • Safety rating of CATIII 1,000 V (CATIV 600V)
  • Isolated voltage channels
  • Integrated remote communications and GPS, multiple protocols, e.g., MQTT, TCP/IP, FTP, DNP3

UltraTEV Plus2 UHF Receiver and Directional Antenna

A new testing modality, UHF, is now available for the UltraTEV Plus2. Detection of UHF radio emissions from partial discharge sources allows detection that may be difficult with TEV and ultrasonic. Sources high on outside air-insulated gear or internal sources can be found at a great distance. The directional antenna allows the source to be easily located and corona ignored. Integration with the UTP2 means test results from TEV, ultrasound, cable, and UHF appear in one report. Spectrum, PRPD, and 3D PRPD displays provide more usable results than plain EMI scanning.

CBA First Trip Data

All objects can be characterized by their response to physical stimuli. When struck by its clapper, a bell will ring with a certain fundamental frequency and numerous overtones. The frequencies of the fundamental and the overtones are determined by the size and geometry of the bell as well as the material from which it is made. Imperfections such as cracks will cause the bell to respond at different frequencies and/or different amplitudes. If the normal frequencies and amplitudes are known, the type, size, and location of an imperfection can be determined by the variances from normal response. This is the base science behind CBA.

This test method that is being used successfully for determining the mechanical condition of circuit breakers — including the capture of very important first trip data.

Vacuum Interrupter Conditioning

There are millions of medium-voltage vacuum interrupters in the world that have either hit their original expected mortality date or are past the mid-life expectation of service life.

Previously, there were no practical methods for field conditioning of vacuum interrupters to change the mortality curve of the device. But with advances in servicing technology through the advent of vacuum interrupter conditioning (VIC), we now have methods that can convert free gas molecules inside the envelope to solids such as oxides or carbides, thus extending the usable life of many vacuum interrupters.
