The Dranetz HDPQ® Guide SP is housed in an IP65 enclosure and can be powered from the circuit being measured or another source. It includes all of the features of the Dranetz HDPQ® Visa SP instrument, but adds Wi-Fi communications, AnswerModules®, and a 10,000 cycle recording buffer for fault and inrush recording!
The Dranetz HDPQ-SP family merges the state-of-the-art power monitoring capabilities you expect from Dranetz, with ‘best in class’ communication capabilities to provide a revolutionary monitoring experience. Each instrument has a built-in 7-inch WVGA wide screen LCD user interface for monitoring setup and data review. By putting operator safety first, the Dranetz HDPQ enables users to review data and change settings remotely from virtually any Smartphone or Tablet mobile device, along with traditional PC and MAC laptops and desktops. Just hook up the instrument, close the cabinets to ‘safe’ the environment and use either the VNC interface or our Dranetz HDPQ Apple or Android Apps via Ethernet, Wireless, or Bluetooth for remote control from anywhere with connectivity to the instrument. Enhance your productivity by using our industry leading Dran-View 7 PC software for data analysis, data annotation, advanced computations and reporting. Mini-reports and screen snapshots are also available directly on the instrument to easily share information across your organization via .xml or .bmp files.
Of course, since it’s a “Dranetz”, the Dranetz HDPQ-SP Guide provides you the best in class Power Quality monitoring capabilities available. It measures to all current industry standards, including IEC61000-4-30 Class A, IEC61000-4-7, IEEE1159, IEEE519, IEEE1459 and more. Equipped with 8 independent channels, automated setups provide instant detection of circuits and configurations, ensuring that the instrument is ready to successfully collect data in seconds. Users can select the length and mode of data collection, including troubleshooting, data logging, power quality surveys, energy and load balancing. The Intelligent AnswerModule® feature provides consultant-like analysis of sag directivity, capacitor switching transient identification/directivity and motor analysis/reporting.
Applications
The Dranetz HDPQ-SP Guide was designed from the ground up to be your all-in-one power monitoring tool. Whether your application requires power quality monitoring, demand/energy monitoring, or both, HDPQ-SP Guide's powerful feature set provides you the tools needed to get the job done. HDPQ-SP Guide is perfect for applications such as PQ surveys, fault recording inrush, motor testing, harmonic analysis, advanced distortion analysis, demand/energy/load studies, and much more.
Advance PQ & Energy Capabilities
Dranetz products have a long-standing tradition of having state of the art PQ monitoring capabilities and HDPQ Xplorer is no exception. HDPQ-SP Guide meets and exceeds current version of the most stringent industry monitoring standards, including:
- Power Quality - IEC 61000-4-30 Class A, iEEE 1159
- Harmonics - IEC 61000-4-7, IEEE 519
- Voltage Flicker - IEC 61000-4-15, IEEE 1453- Including Pinst
- Advanced Energy - IEEE 1459
Transients Capture
The Dranetz HDPQ-SP Guide goes well beyond PQ standards by including transient capture capabilities for both voltage and current, such as: transients to 32 microseconds, peak sample transients, and advanced waveshape change transients that can identify changes from cycle to cycle.
AnswerModules - Smart & Good Looking!
Only available from Dranetz, AnswerModules are algorithms that automatically identify power quality problems and their source. These diagnostic and reporting tools are based on our decades of analytical experience, benchmarking and troubleshooting work.
The HDPQ-SP Guide has three built-in AnswerModules:
- Sag/Dip Directivity: Automatically identifies the source of a Sag/Dip as being upstream or downstream from the monitoring source.
- Capacitor Switching: Automatically identifies transients as being Power Factor correction transients.
- Motor Analysis: Enables the PQ parameters that are important to motor surveys, and provides a custom dashboard for results.
Power Quality instruments are no different than anything else - you get what you pay for - you just get much more from the Dranetz HDPQ-SP Guide than with any other instrument in its class!
Easy to Use Intuitive User Interface
With their innovative packaging and 7" wide screen color touch display, the Dranetz HDPQ family of instruments are the most powerful and easiest to use power monitoring instruments available. Like your tablet computer, simply use your finger or stylus to easily navigate the intuitive, icon-based user interface. Setting up the HDPQ Xplorer is made easy with automatic setups that detect the circuit type, voltage, etc. and configure the instrument in seconds with typical industry settings. For customized setups, use the manual Wizard mode that guides you step-by-step through each setup. During monitoring, real time measurements can be viewed in many ways, including a color-coded reporting Dashboard, and meter/scope/phasor/harmonics display. Recorded data can be viewed over time using the timeline and event list displays, and also by using compliance reports, such as EN 50160.
