meter/monitor. This cutting-edge power quality instrument is designed with a color
liquid crystal display (LCD) 1/4 VGA, using touch screen technology. It can monitor,
record and display data on four voltage channels and four current channels
simultaneously.
The PowerVisa is designed to meet both the IEEE 1159 and IEC 61000-4-30 Class A
standards for accuracy and measurement requirements. It can also monitor EN50160
compliance based on the EN (European) Standards. The statistical package called
Quality of Supply (QOS) is built into the PowerVisa, 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 firmware for the PowerVisa is contained on internal FLASH memory. It has an
PowerVisa
firmware
operating system capable of performing multiple applications. When an updated
version of the firmware is released, the user can upgrade the internal program by
putting the latest PowerVisa firmware program card in the appropriate slot of the
mainframe. See page 1-10 for instructions on how to upgrade the PowerVisa
firmware from a data card.
The PowerVisa firmware can monitor power quality phenomena for troubleshooting
and/or compliance purposes. It can 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 NodeLink
