Introduction - System Overview
Tailored for PQ Analysis at any location, the Portable BLACKBOX has been especially designed to
address the needs of Site Engineers, Electrical Consultants & Utilities:
No Missed Events
Quick & Simple Setup
Remote Connectivity
Plug & Play
Empowered by the patented PQZIP compression technology, the G4500/G3500 can store up to a
thousand times more than other typical file formats. The PQZIP allows the Portable BLACKBOX
to continuously record & store all electrical waveforms, all the time, for extended periods, with
no gaps in the data. Capture everything, Trends, Volts/Amps/Hz, Events, Harmonics, THD,
Flicker, Power & Energy to get down to the root cause of all your Power Quality issues. The
Portable BLACKBOX fully complies with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A standards for: aggregations, time
clock uncertainty, flagging & transient influence quantities.
The advanced PQSCADA & Investigator Enterprise Analysis software enables the operator to
detect, view, control, analyze & isolate the minutest PQ anomaly for the diagnosis & effective
maintenance of equipment. It simplifies troubleshooting & time-synchronized data recorded by
any number of BLACKBOX devices, can be compared within a particular site &/or across many
sites.
The embedded Website serves as the main user-interface with the unit, providing enhanced
management, unit configuration & real-time monitoring of all parameters.
