This Answer Module automatically identifies and points to the direction of the capacitor switching transients. The GPS-based precision time stamps in the Encore Series let you combine reports from many locations, so you can instantly track down the offending capacitor bank and develop a solution to the problem (new switching schedule, controlled switching, or changing equipment).

Intelligent Answer Modules

Answer Modules are proprietary algorithms that convert raw power quality event data into precise answers to determine the source and cause of disturbances. Answer Modules characterize data recorded by Dranetz power quality instruments, storing the results of the analysis as part of the data recorded in the Encore Series Software database. These unique software tools are only available from Dranetz, and enable users to save time and improve accuracy when troubleshooting power quality problems.
