Class A

Elspec’s pioneering measurement method utilizes a dual-range gain of 2 x 16 Bit to yield, a superior accuracy far surpassing IEC 61000-4-30 Class A requirements, thereby capturing the finest details & deviations in Power Quality parameters.

Real-Time Monitoring

Continuous waveform recording, Trigger free setup, 5,000 power parameters @ 1/2 cycle resolution, Easy deployment.

Synchronized Monitoring

A unique time synchronization algorithm assures that logged data from multiple units is synchronized & displayed on the same time scale with typical 0.1 ms resolution. Every event on a grid is accurately analyzed for precise root cause analysis, behavior propagation, and traced to its source.

Superior Accuracy

Elspec’s pioneering measurement method utilizes a dual-range gain of 2 x 16 Bit to yield, a superior accuracy far surpassing IEC 61000-4-30 Class A requirements, thereby capturing the finest details & deviations in Power Quality parameters.

Utilities (Transmission, distribution, generation)

  • Optimizes protective equipment configuration and substation automation solutions
  • Ensures a reliable and consistent supply of energy
  • Evaluates the performance of breakers and relays
  • Identifies and manage peak demand
  • Real time power quality monitoring to meet any international standard
  • Produces detailed & comprehensive statistical records

Energy Consumer (Critical power, industrial, commercial, etc.)

  • Measures and analyzes system efficiency, provides solutions and increases profits
  • Negotiates capabilities with power providers
  • Detects electric bill inconsistencies
  • Avoids power quality compliance issues
  • Monitors and analyses power quality in real time

Continuous Waveform Recordings

  • The G4400 fixed power quality analyzer is able to record and store all electrical waveform continuously for more than a year, with no gaps in the data. The G4400 fixed power quality analyzer offers a clear and comprehensive picture of the conditions before, during, and after an event.

Supreme Trends Resolution

The G4400 power quality analyzer measures and records 5,000 power parameters continuously at a resolution of ½ cycles, 10/12 cycles, 150/180 cycles, 10 min and 2 hours of which, any given resolution is calculated for display and reporting purposes. Hence, there is no need to select which parameters to log, and more importantly, which parameters to ignore.

 

Harmonics & Inter-Harmonics Analysis

The G4400 power quality analyzer has two FFT engines for harmonics analysis: Cycle by Cycle: performs FFT at 1 cycle resolution for extended bandwidth. This engine provides 512 harmonics order at 50Hz resolution. 10/12 Cycles: performs FFT 10/12 cycles resolution for extended resolution and sub-grouping calculation. This engine provides the magnitude and angle of 512 spectrum components at 5Hz resolution.

Comprehensive Event Mechanism

The G4400 power quality analyzers series is designed to detect any event occurring on your system. The mechanism allows you to configure events on any measured parameter (more than 1,000) and/or I/O ports. The event mechanism supports out-of-limit events as well as rate of changed limits. The G4400 analyzer is capable of recording waveform signals continuously. The event configuration doesn’t trigger the recording but rather stores summary logs including start and end time, duration, severity and magnitude of the event. All events can be displayed in a tabular or scatter charts as CBEME/ITIC.

Optional Accessories

Multi I/O extension to comply with every application

The G4400 series offers the option to expend the meter capability by adding the multi I/O module in conjunction with all metering functionalities. The I/O module includes analog and digital I/O as well as a relay output to specifically work with your application.The multi I/O module extends the meter capability in order to replace RTUs and PLCs for energy management and substation automation. With the G4400 series you can monitor the reliability of system apparatus such as transformers, circuit breakers and other critical equipments. The G4400 series supports up to 2 I/O modules using internal power along with:a 8 fast digital input at 16sample/seca 4 fast digital output at 16 sample/seca 4 analog 4-20mA input sampled at 1Hz with programmable scalinga 4 analog 4-20mA outputa 3 Relays

Real Time Local & Remote Monitoring

The G4400 series is accessible locally or remotely, using either an integral web server interface or the Elspec G4100 remote display. The Elspec G4100 represents the next generation in power network information exchange.By using IP based communication, various unprecedented setup configurations are enabled over a great distance. Using ethernet infrastructure, the G4100 can monitor multiple G4400 meters connected to the network remotely or connected to each analyzer directly. The G4100’s display provides full control over all meters allowing technicians and field operators to fully configure and operate each single meter in the network. The G4100 can be powered by external power supply or through the G4400 embedded PoE port.

GPS

The GPS provides an optimal mobile time synchronization solution for accurate time data via satellite signal. In absence of any other available technologies, it synchronizes the time at any remote location.
