Overview
Introduction
Wizard Setup guides you through the circuit setup step-by-step, via a series of screens
prompting for information about the circuit to be monitored. The instrument
automatically turns on the correct channels, sets the parameter thresholds and
waveform capture settings depending on the detected circuit type, nominal voltage and
current values, and monitoring mode specified. The user can then modify these settings
if necessary.
Monitoring
modes
HDPQ Xplorer allows you to monitor events in the following setup categories:
Standard Power Quality, Current Inrush, Fault Recorder, Energy & Demand Audits,
Long-term Timed Recording, Continuous Data Logging, EN50160 Power Quality, and
Motor Quality mode. Selecting any setup category automatically sets trigger and
capture conditions. Advanced users are free to mix and match settings.
Standard Power Quality, Demand, Energy
: HDPQ Xplorer algorithms automatically
evaluate existing rms and waveform conditions to optimize setups to reliably capture
data. This feature ensures that the first-time user gets the expected results, while
providing the experienced user with the ability to tweak settings for specific
applications. Either way, the necessary data used to identify critical events and optimize
mitigation solutions is recorded into the memory as it occurs.
Current Inrush
: Determining system characteristics during current inrush conditions
such as impedance changes during motor energization or the I
2
t curve of a breaker trip
is key to preventative maintenance and enhanced power system performance. Inrush-
type events such as motor start-up typically requires extended duration cycle-by-cycle
recording. With HDPQ Xplorer, you can capture and store detailed data to evaluate
system performance against specifications and previous benchmark data. Under the
current inrush mode, triggers are current-based. By operating in the inrush mode, the
instrument will capture and store highly detailed data to memory in real time, then re-
arm and be ready to capture data during the next test run.
Fault Recorder
: A fault in a wire circuit is usually due to unintentional grounding, a
break in the line, a crossing or shorting of the wires, etc. A digital fault recorder logs
extended duration cycle-by-cycle recording. Under the fault recorder mode, triggers are
voltage-based. HDPQ Xplorer can help locate failures detected in various components
of assorted equipment by recording an extended period of cycle-by-cycle data to
capture the entire duration of the fault and the associated system response.
