Schneider Electric Announces New Addition to the Portfolio of Advanced Power Quality Meters, the PowerLogic™ ION9000T
- PowerLogic ION9000T adds high-speed transient monitoring to the high-performance power quality meter, helping to avoid outages, equipment damage, failures, and interruption of critical operations
- Onboard power quality and event analysis ensures safer, more reliable, more efficient power in large and critical buildings and infrastructures
- Unique, patented ION programmability allows for adaptable, customized power management capabilities
BOSTON, Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the global specialist in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the expansion of the PowerLogic™ ION9000 series power meter range with the PowerLogic ION9000T. Engineered on the trusted PowerLogic platform, the new ION9000T adds high-speed transient capture capabilities, helping critical facilities avoid outages, equipment damage, failures, and interruption of operations.
Originating inside a customer' facility or from the utility grid, high-speed transient voltages can damage a facility's electrical systems and disappear before they can be detected, ultimately leading to poor performance, gradual breakdown, or abrupt failure. Industrial facilities can experience many such transients every hour, with voltage impulses exceeding 5 to 10 times the nominal system voltage. Discovering these harmonics and their root causes, and then taking steps to mitigate them, extends the life of equipment insulation.
"Legacy power meters aren't fast enough to capture a transient that occurs in a millionth of a second, does its damage, and disappears. The ION9000T samples at 10 MHz on 4-phase voltages, so it can capture and record these sub-cycle transients and help facility managers quickly get to the root cause of these events," said Drew Reid, Offer Manager, Power Solutions, Schneider Electric. "Fortified with onboard power quality analytics, this is a powerful tool in reducing exposure to the unnecessary risks that threaten operations and power reliability."
Powerful Innovation at Six Levels
The PowerLogic ION9000T meter builds on the advancements of the latest generation of power quality meters and the successes of the ION9000 and ION7650. It shares the core innovations of the original meters, but also adds high-speed transient capture capabilities:
- Impulsive and oscillatory transient detection and capture with 10 MHz sampling (>100ns duration, 10kV) on 4 phase voltages and ability to provide a simplified event view based on analytics of the event.
- High-quality performance, with third-party certified Class 0.1S accuracy – twice the precision of existing energy standards – to unlock significant new possibilities for energy savings and ensure the meter can comply with the highest performance for revenue grade applications.
- Cybersecurity ready, designed to align with comprehensive grid cybersecurity policies, helping to eliminate vulnerabilities to critical power assets and systems.
- Onboard power quality analysis provides useful information, not just data, and it does so via its onboard PQ tool, according to EN50160 and IEEE519 standards. The ION9000 also has extended waveform capture and patented disturbance direction detection (DDD).
Smart power event analysis automatically correlates related trends, events, and waveforms based on time and type of incident, saving time and providing vital insight with pre- and post-incident data. - Patented ION™ programmability allows users to adapt as their power networks become more dynamic, tailoring programming to accommodate complex electrical distribution monitoring or custom substation automation – protecting their investment into the future.
