Power quality monitoring is a fundamental requirement for ensuring the stability, efficiency and reliability of modern electrical networks, especially in critical infrastructure applications.

When it comes to choosing the right power quality meter, one of the key factors to consider is the accuracy class of the meter. Two of the most common accuracy classes in the industry are Class A and Class S.

Power quality, or PQ for short, relates to the reliability and consistency of the electric energy delivered by the grid. Since the grid is a closed ecosystem, overall power quality is as well influenced by the character of electric loads feeding off the power grid.

As modern electrical grids evolve with the increasing integration of renewable energy sources and the complexities of smart grid technologies, the need for precise and comprehensive power quality (PQ) monitoring has never been greater.

The world is increasingly being powered by solar and wind, and switching to use Inverter-Based Resources to leverage these renewable energy sources.

SATEC has added further enhancements and advanced features for power quality monitoring with the PM180. The latest release incorporates disturbance direction detection and analysis, allowing identification and location of voltage sags or voltage swells, relative to the monitoring location. The PM180 Power Quality Analyser is a Class A device for PQ metering. Damage Resulting andRead more
