1.1. Application
The power-monitoring unit VAMP 260 is an integrated
monitoring device. Through numerical signal processing the
device produces large amounts of important information. The
device utilizes the latest technology and thus it offers many
features, so far not found in corresponding devices.
The device measures the phase currents and the phase-to-
phase voltages or phase-to-neutral voltages. Besides these
directly measured data the VAMP 260 calculates much data
about the state of the power network.
1.2. Main features
• Fully digital signal handling with a powerful 16-bit
microprocessor and high measuring accuracy on all setting
ranges due to an accurate 16-bit A/D conversion technique.
• Eight programmable alarm stages
• Wide setting ranges for the alarm stages.
