Function
IEC 61000-4-30 ed.3 cl. A
PQ analyzer PLA44RGP measures according the standard IEC 61000-4-30 ed. 3 class A. Such type of analyzers are used in applications where there is necessary precise measurement for power quality evaluation according norms EN 50160, EN 61000-4-7 and EN 61000-4-15. If two devices of class A measures the same signal of voltage and current, measurement results at the same moment have to be same with defined measurement uncertainity.
Events
Events are unexpected signal changes with duration from 10ms up to days. In some instalations these events can cause material damages and economical losts. Norm EN 50160 defines limits of events and its quantity that can appear in electrical grid during a year. PQA PLA44RGP evaluates following type of events:
- DIP
- INT
- SWELL
- RVC
- I_MAX
Transients
Voltage transients are short commutation, impulse or oscillatory events in electrical grid. Their source can be inductive load switching, power factor correction instruments, atmospheric events, protection instruments action or malfunction of switching elements in the grid.
PLA44RGP analyser detects two types of transients. Absolute transients and differential transients.
- Absolute transients are detected according to override of defined voltage level. The trigger for detection of the absolute transients is defined by absolute threshold (percentage of Udin).
- Differential transients are detected according to the difference between two consecutive voltage measurements. The difference between measurement is defined by differential threshold (percentage of Udin).
Rogowski coils
A part of delivery of PLA44RGP are also Rogowski coils 60cm length. Digital integrator for current range change is integrated inside the portable power quality analyser PLA44RGP. Internal digital integraters offers the following measuring current ranges 10 A, 30 A, 100 A, 300 A, 1 kA, 3 kA, 10 kA.
Software
MQTT
integration of this protocol into PLA44RGP allows implementation of instrument into any SW. Measured data are divided into several topics in which user can chose which one want to receive. Measured data are transfered in file format JSON.
