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-End Monitoring Solution", it has unique features and accessories that you will not find elsewhere to:
- Save time
- Eliminate errors
- Achieve success
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.
- Select any of hundreds of different measurement types for regular recording of Voltage (V), Current (A), Power (KW), Apparent Power (KVA), Reactive Power (KVAR), True Power Factor (TPF), Displacement Power Factor (DPF), Unbalance, Frequency (Hz), THD, and individual harmonic magnitudes over time.
- Log net, positive, and negative VAR separately for meeting reporting requirements and understanding correct compensation required.
- 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.
- All measurements and the initial automatic capture of waveforms can be viewed and analyzed in our PSM-A software (power analysis features).
Power Quality studies
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:
- Automatic setting of thresholds for capture of swells, sags, high-speed absolute transients, and high-speed relative transients
- "Fixed thresholds" that you can set for swells, sags, absolute transients, and relative transients for any of the voltage and current inputs you choose
Safety
Each PS5000 is rated for both 1000V CAT III and 600V CAT IV for your safety in the most compromising situations. Bluetooth wireless communications allow you to control and view the PS5000 remotely from a safe distance outside the arc flash blast zone. The strong Bluetooth signal in the PS5000 often allows communications with the analyzer even when locked in an electrical cabinet, achieving ultimate safety.
Our line-to-DC converter accessories allow you to operate your PS5000 from the power that it is monitoring, (up to 600V with our LDC4). The small size of the combined PS5000 and LDC4 (or even smaller LDCm), allows locking them together inside a panel for extended monitoring with:
- No external power cords
- No exposure to dangerous voltages
- Reduced risk of theft or tampering.
