PQS allows Engineers to monitor harmonics caused from:

• Microgeneration systems such as domestic roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels
• Charging of electric vehicles
• Electric motors
• Semiconductor-based consumer products

PQS allows utilities to monitor Power Quality and meet regulation standards avoiding penalties and protects infrastructure in the event of a harmonics exceeding a predetermined threshold. The software is also a valuable tool for companies that want to check that internal operations are not injecting harmonics back into the grid from their spur nor risking damage through harmonics to their own electrical assets.

Oscillography Data

Oscillography data can be used to analyze power quality fluctuations.

The RC-10 can capture an oscillogram of the waveform when a specific event occurs such as a trip or a close. The amount of waveform captured prior to the trigger can be configured by the user. This ranges from 0 to 80% of the capture prior to the trigger point.

The RC10 provides:

• Multiple channel wave capture of voltage and current
• 1600 samples per second
• Event triggered data memory storage

Captured data can be stored on internal flash memory or external USB drive.

The captured Oscillography files are saved in the file system in the IEEE Std C37.111-1999 Comtrade Advance Programmable Logic binary.
