Power Quality Recording Capability
The PDA 1252 is a comprehensive Energy and Power Quality Analyzer. It
measures every aspect of power and provides extensive tools for
recording trends and power quality events. Recorded capabilities include:

  • Voltage Surges and Sags
  • IEC 6100-4-15 Flicker Analysis
  • Current Fault Signatures
  • Harmonics / Inter-harmonics
  • Graphical Waveforms Recorded
  • Transient Events on a Cycle by Cycle Basis
  • View data using Top Rated Communicator EXT Software
  • Optional Artificial Intelligence Reporting of Power Quality Causes and Solutions
   

Historical Trending / Load Profiling
The meter has extensive on-board data-logging for any desired historical analysis. Monitor the following over any desired historical trending window:

  • Voltages
  • Current Distribution
  • PF
  • Watt/VAR/VA
  • Frequency
  • Energy Accumulated
  • Log Both Instantaneous and Average Readings
  • Programmable Trending Profiles
  • Easy to Use and Set Up

Superior Mechanical Design
The unit was designed using a watertight outdoor rated enclosure. All terminations are additionally watertight. This allows the analyzer to be used in harsh environments or outside the incoming utility feed to building. The unit can be powered using line voltage or through a separate line cord.

Two Models
Low Voltage - PDA1252-1A
This version of the unit offers a 1 amp secondary input for low voltage applications. This allows the unit to work with up to 600
Volts Phase to Phase. There are 3 clamp on probes available for 100 amps, 1000 amps and 3000 amps primary circuits.
Hi-Voltage – PDA1252-5A
This version of the unit takes a direct 5 amp input for use with test leads on existing hi-voltage installed current transformers or with 5 amp rated probes. This allows the unit to be used as a circuit analyzer as well as a portable power quality monitor. Using this mode, the unit can be used as a circuit analyzer allowing users to verify CT and PT connection wiring to meters and protective relaying equipment.

Power Line or Power Port Power Supply
The PDA 1252 is designed to be powered using two different methods. The first method allows the unit to power from a 208 - 480 V AC Phase B–C Voltage line connection. The unit also utilizes a wall plug for remotely powering the unit. The wall plug allows the unit to be used in conjunction with a UPS to remain powered through power outages.

Advanced Touch Screen Display
The PDA 1252 utilizes a touch screen display that allows real-time data to be viewed easily. Stored logs and recordings are viewed with a simple RS232 port.

  • I/O Device Information
Advanced Charting, Graphing & Analysis

Communicator EXT’s charting and graphing functions allow users to easily access any desired data and provide fast and simple analysis. Getting the data you need quickly is as important as collecting the data in the first place. Communicator EXT excels at providing data easily and quickly. Data analysis features include:

  • Tabular Data Format with Direct Microsoft Excel® Compliance
  • 6-Pen Charting and Graphing
  • Circular or XY Chart Formats
  • Max./Min. Values Printed Directly on Plot
  • Unlimited Zoom & Pan
  • Direct Cut & Paste in Most Windows® Applications
Displays of real time data
View Waveform Records with Comprehensive Data Analysis Features

View stored waveforms on events caused by power quality problems, faults, transients and many other conditions. Using Communicator EXT, you can:

  • View & Superimpose Multiple Waveforms
  • Zoom & Pan Events
  • Place hash marks directly on waveform graphs to calculate delta time & differing event durations.
  • Conduct harmonic analysis on waveform data using harmonic magnitudes, peak value and RMS readings per cycle.

Advanced Power Quality Charting and Graphing

Communicator EXT allows you to calculate power quality on a scatter graph providing users with CBEMA plotting information. The CBEMA plot gives definition to the severity of events and their effect on equipment. If many events fall outside the CBEMA tolerances, they may be damaging the monitored equipment. The software provides 3D plots and histograms with frequency and severity.

ODBC Databases for All Collected Data

In today’s information age, collecting data is simple. Managing data is the task at hand. Communicator EXT uses an ODBC database structure. ODBC structure means that the data is easily accessible by most other 3rd party applications. This allows data to be managed as well as collected. The database also auto configures itself so that the users do not have to be versed with database knowledge to maintain the data.
 

Programming and Configuration

Communicator EXT also allows users to program, configure and optimize metering systems to meet the exact application needed. Unlike most other systems, Communicator EXT was painstakingly designed to make programming and configuration simple and easy to use. This takes much of the guesswork out of configuring a meter and gets the system up and running simply and quickly.

 

AI Reports EXT– This is a basic reporting package providing an AI solution to observed power quality problems.
