Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser w/ 4x F-3A Flexible Clamps

The Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser measures and records electrical parameters according to IEC 61000-4-30 Class S. It is a cost-effective load parameter recorder making it suitable for electricians and maintenance personnel, as well as consumers and producers of renewable energy (wind farms, solar farms) who require 4-quadrant power analysis.

The Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser has four current inputs and can provide a current measurement for the neutral conductor. It also offers the following measurement and logging capabilities:

• Current L1, L2, L3, N (four measurement inputs): supports a maximum measurement range of 6kA, depending on the current clamp used, and can determine the average, minimum, maximum and instant current measurements; provides interoperability with current transducers
• Voltages L1, L2, L3, N (four measurement inputs): supports interoperability with voltage transducers and can measure average, minimum, maximum and instant voltages up to 760V
• Unbalance of voltage and currents
• Current and voltage event logging with oscillograms and half-period RMS charts
• Power measurements: active power (P), reactive power (Q), distortive power (D), and apparent power (S) with identification of the nature of the reactive power (capacitive, inductive); reactive power is calculated using the Budeanu and IEEE 1459 methods
• Power factor (PF): cosφ, tanφ
• Energy measurements: active energy (EP), reactive energy (EQ) and apparent energy (ES)
• Crest factors for current (CFI) and voltage (CFU)
• Frequency: 40Hz-70Hz
• Harmonics up to the 40th in voltage and current
• Total harmonic distortion THD for current and voltage
• Short-term (PST) and long-term (PLT) light flicker index

The Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser is equipped with a built-in heater enabling it to deliver high-accuracy readings compliant with IEC 61000-4-30 Class S in conditions as cold as -20°C.

Up to 1100 parameters, including average, minimum, maximum and instantaneous readings, can be saved to the Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser. Its internal, rechargeable battery ensures that the Sonel PQM-700 can continue to record data for up to six hours after power failure. Data is recorded onto a removable 2GB memory card; it can be downloaded to a PC using a USB connection or a card reader.

Once downloaded, data, including events, can be evaluated using Sonel’s free Analysis Software. This application also includes advanced features enabling the user to save results on his/her PC’s hard drive as either raw data or in a report. Sonel’s Analysis Software is continually revised to ensure it meets the latest standards and requirements.

Finally, the Sonel PQM-700 Power Quality Analyser is IP65-rated, making it suitable for use in rugged environments and in rain, snow and high-humidity. It is a rugged, accurate and reliable PQA suitable for analysing a range of mains systems including single-phase, split-phase with common N, three-phase WYE with and without N conductor, three-phase Delta, three-phase WYE and Delta Aron, and systems with current and voltage transducers.
