PowerXplorer PX5-400
Most of the world distributes power at 50 or 60 Hz.
However, there are certain specialized applications that distribute power at other frequencies, such as
aviation and naval systems. While 400 Hz is used to improve system efficiency, it will challenge most
power monitoring instruments, since most measure at 50 or 60 Hz only. A misapplication of a 50/60 Hz
instrument on a 400 Hz application will most likely result in inaccurate measurements, inconsistent
instrument behavior, and loss of time and money when testing studies are conducted that do not
yield useful data. 400 Hz measurements require an instrument that has been specifically developed
to accommodate 400 Hz fundamental frequency and its associated measurement and
synchronization requirements.
400 Hz power systems have the same concerns
of traditional 50/60 Hz systems, yet many users don’t know that an advanced tool is available to
help them. Power quality, demand and energy are important in any application regardless of
power frequency. With the introduction of the
PX5-400 users can apply industry-leading Dranetz-BMI monitoring technology to these
more specialized applications. As an example,
aviation power distribution reliability can involve three main components: the aircraft, jetway and
ground equipment. Any link in this chain that
doesn’t perform to expectations can cause failures that may result in delays, lost
productivity and lost revenues. Therefore, it is
important to have the tools available to quickly resolve any problems to reduce the economic
impact of interruptions in service.

PowerXplorer
The PowerXplorer integrates the most advanced feature set available in a power monitoring instrument, with an easy-to-navigate, color graphical user interface. With high-speed sampling and data capture (1 microsecond/channel), this 8-channel workhorse simultaneously captures and characterizes thousands of parameters, using a range of standard and customizable operating modes. The unique measurement capabilities of the PowerXplorer include capture of low-medium-high frequency transients through peak,
waveshape, rms duration and adaptive high-speed sampling, as well as power measurements to clearly characterize non-sinusoidal and unbalanced systems.
