The PS5000 is a true hand-held three-phase power quality analyzer with the features and accessories to achieve success in your power monitoring study. Its ergonomic contoured case, rugged construction, and small size make it ideal for field work. In addition, being part of the PowerSight “Start-To-Finish Monitoring Solution”, it has unique features and accessories that you will not find elsewhere to:
  • Save time
  • Eliminate errors
  • Achieve success.

Power Quality Analysis

Continuously examine every cycle of every input and trigger to a resolution of 8 microseconds. Trigger on swell, sag (dip), inrush, and advanced triggering types such as absolute and relative high-speed transient events. Choose your triggering mode:
  • Allow the trigger thresholds to be set automatically for you by the meter, based on the voltages it sees
  • Set the trigger thresholds yourself for voltages and currents, setting swell, sag (dip), inrush, absolute transient levels, and relative transient levels.

Power Logging

Monitor just about any power system or load in the world:
  • 3-phase delta/wye, 4-wire delta, open/grounded delta, 2CT/2PT – 3CT/2PT – 3CT/3PT metering circuits, split-phase, single phase, multiple single phase, and of course DC.
  • Choose from among 600 unique measurement types to log each second. All the basic measurement types are included: Vpn, Vpp, Amp, Watt, VA, VAR, TPF, THD. Advanced and specialized types are also included: Wpos/Wneg, VARpos/VARneg, DPF, Unbalance, Individual harmonics.
  • Separately log positive, negative, and net KVAR and KW for meeting reporting requirements, designing PF correction, and evaluating utility costs.
  • Summaries of the average, maximum, and minimum of each value, as well as the present values can be viewed on the analyzer’s display at any time.
  • Verify your connections are correct at any time with SureStart or view the waveforms and phasor diagram on the display.
  • All measurements and the initial automatic capture of waveforms can be viewed and analyzed in our PSM-A Windows software (power analysis features).

Typical PS5000 Applications

Evaluate Quality of Incoming Power

Verify that your utility is delivering power within an acceptable voltage range over time. Check if nearby facilities are affecting your power. Verify if long power lines or over-capacity situations are having an adverse effect on your operations. Trigger on voltage swells and sags. Trigger of high speed transients. See what is happening in several different presentation viewpoints. PowerSight is unique in its ability to connect directly to distribution power (with optional medium voltage probes) to see what is happening at the source.

Evaluate Quality of Power Within Facilities to Find Failure Causes

If equipment is failing prematurely or is mysteriously taking itself off-line, you want to evaluate the voltage of the branch line and the current draw of parallel circuits. In addition to fine logging, trigger on swells and sags of voltage and inrush of current. Capture several views of what is happening in order to evaluate the source and the solution of the problem.

Evaluate Harmonic Distortion of Power

Modern electronic equipment introduces harmonics into a power system, which can have unforeseen consequences. Safety risks related to overheating can arise but can easily be identified by an analyzer with harmonics analysis.

Verify ATS & Backup Power

Trigger on loss of power to record the response of your ATS and backup power systems. Just as importantly, judge the handover of power from battery to diesel and from diesel to utility upon recovery. Trigger on current spikes and voltage over/under voltages that can damage equipment.

Power Factor Mitigation

Evaluate power factor correction needs by logging positive and negative VAR and DPF.

Evaluate Motor Health

In addition to normal monitoring, log the voltage and current imbalance over time. Directly connect to 4160V motors with our optional medium voltage probes. Evaluate power at the motor and in front of VFDs for the full picture. factor correction, and power backup. Medium Voltage Solutions

Cost & Efficiency Analysis

Automatically view projected cost, run time costs, peak demand period, power factor profiles and more to verify projected savings, check utility bills, shed loads, minimize power factor penalties. Perform before/after and A/B analyses for informed decision making. Our ReportWriter Wizard™ provides clear summaries and comparisons with a minimum of effort.

LDCm

LDCm - 480V Line-to-DC Converter

A favorite of professionals. The LDCm will power your analyzer off of the voltage that it is monitoring in the range of 100-480V. This allows locking your analyzer inside of a power panel with no power cord entering the closed panel. This provides maximum safety and security. Added safety is achieved by eliminating the use of extension cords. The small size and short voltage leads allow fitting the LDC into any space near your power analyzer in cramped electrical panels.
