Identify problems caused by ‘green’ devices
Outram Research - a specialist manufacturer of power quality analysers - announces the PM7000 now offers additional features to help identify and resolve power quality problems caused by the increasing use of energy-efficient appliances and renewable power sources.
The Outram Ranger PM7000 is the first power quality analyser to offer analysis of the phase difference between the harmonic voltage and current, giving additional detailed information about the source of distortion of the mains waveform. Modern switching power supplies often exhibit problems at high frequencies, and so the PM7000 offers one of the industry's highest sampling rates, recording up to the 50th or 120th harmonic.
The new harmonic distortion analysis features are now provided as standard across the family of Outram Ranger PM7000 power analysers. New firmware to upgrade existing analysers is available on request.
