Power quality monitoring often only gets talked about when there are disturbances, for plant malfunctions, device failures, process interruptions, data losses, IT failures or even an electrical power blackout. These types of failure are usually very time-consuming because the cause is not always immediately detected. In addition, breakdowns are always associated with avoidable costs. So continuous preventive monitoring of the mains with the LINAX PQ3000 from Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG produces a direct pay-off. The PQ3000 helps to detect problems in the mains supply before any financial damages or personal injuries are suffered. It generates data that assists in identifying the cause of failure as soon as an event occurs. It is rated as a Class A device and measures the power quality in compliance with IEC 61000-4-30 Ed.3. Certified compliance of the PQ3000 to all standards is guaranteed by an authorised test lab. This means that reliable and comparable data and information resulting from its measurements can be provided to regulation authorities, used in negotiations with energy suppliers, or for internal quality control. An EN 50160 voltage quality standard compliance report can also be generated in order to audit the quality agreed between the energy supplier and the consumer.
