2 AVO International Meter Adapter Recorders High Performance Power Monitoring For Light Commercial/Residential Sites
3
3 Requested By Many Utilities Meter Adapter Recorder Capable of Measuring Voltage and Current of Electrical Service at Meter Current Values Help Determine Source of Problem (System Side or Load Side) Safe (no external wires/boxes) Convenient (Meter Forms 2S, 12S, 25S) Extremely Easy To Use
4
4 State of The Art Technology High Speed DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 256 Samples/Cycle Sample Rate Flash Memory Easy Field Upgrades (Enhancements, etc). Upgrade in Minutes (By You) vs. Days (Factory) Universal Meter Adapter 190 A Ring/Ringless Optically Isolated RS232 Port Don’t Lose Your Neutral and Feed 120vac to Your Laptop!
5
5 Ground Clip -Must be connected to neutral in meter base = Exclusive Feature
6
6 Ground Clip Descriptive LED’s Indicate Problems While Connected To The Service Monitored = Exclusive Feature
7
7 Ground Clip Descriptive LED’s Indicate Problems While Connected To The Service Monitored = Exclusive Feature Removable Jaw to 6 or 9 O’Clock Positions (Network Meters)
8
8 Manual ON/OFF Switch Ground Clip Descriptive LED’s Indicate Problems While Connected To The Service Monitored = Exclusive Feature Removable Jaw to 6 or 9 O’Clock Positions (Network Meters)
9
9 Real Time Display Toggles Between L1, L2 and Countdown Time to Start Recording - Indicates Unit Is Working Properly Manual ON/OFF Switch Descriptive LED’s Indicate Problems While Connected To The Service Monitored Ground Clip Removable Jaw to 6 or 9 O’Clock Positions (Network Meters) = Exclusive Feature
10
10 Pull The Meter Easy to Install and Use
11
11 Plug in the Meter Adapter Recorder Easy to Install and Use
12
12 Plug Meter Into Meter Adapter Recorder and Attach Seal Easy to Install and Use
13
13 DONE!! Easy to Install and Use
14
14 Parameters Measured 2 Line-Neutral Voltages Calculated L-L Voltage (By adding 256 Samples/Channel) Works For 120/240v or 120/208v Services 2 Line Currents (L1 & L2) Captive Integral CT’s Calculates Neutral Current (Subtract 256 Samples/Line Current)
15
15 Operation You Specify Recorder Response Time, or How Often TRMS Values are Calculated (1 - 60 cycles) You Specify Data Storage Interval (1 cycle to 4 Hours) Recorder Automatically Computes TRMS Value per Selected Response Time and Storage Interval
16
16 Operation Recorder Stores Highest, Lowest TRMS Value in Storage Interval as Well as TRMS Value over Storage Interval Result: You Capture Highest/Lowest 1 Cycle Events/Storage Interval Regardless of Storage Interval Length This is the 1st Type of Continuous Recording
17
17 Out Of Limits Recording This is the 2nd Type of Simultaneous Recording Based On Limits You Set, Recorder will Separately Start Logging Events in the Out Of Limits Report as Soon as They are Detected Limits Can be Set for: Swells/Sags, THD, Spikes as Fast as 65 microsec (1/256th of a cycle)
18
18 Use Included 32-Bit, Windows Software to Set Limits Type of Limit Turn Limit ON Limit Value THD Limits Subcycle Transient Limit = Exclusive Feature
19
19 Indicating LEDs At a Glance, External Indicating LED’s ( ) Tell You if any Events Occurred During the Test. The GE Flicker Table and a Special Loose Neutral Algorithm are Used. R Recording/Not Recording N Suspected Loose Neutral F Flicker Events H Harmonic Events S Swell/Sag/Sub-Cycle Events = Exclusive Feature
20
20 Ease Of Use & Flexibility Display Tells Installer Unit Is Working And Will Record Correct Values Countdown Time (Programmable) Tells User Time Before Recording Will Start Many Different Ways To Start Recording = Exclusive Feature
21
21 Start Recording With Manual Switch Current Present Starts Recording Specify Starting Date, Time and Length (Hours) Specify Recording Start Delay Time Voltage Present Starts Recording
22
22 Generating Charts with AVO-Metrosoft is a Snap! 5 - Click on Create!! 1- Select the datafile you Wish to Chart 2- Select Type Of Chart 3- Select Items To Chart 4- Select Trace Colors
23
And Here It Is! Ready to Print, Export, or Cut-and- Paste into a Document or Spreadsheet This is a 19 Day Recording - Notice the Outage
24
24 Outage To Zoom, just hold down the mouse button, drag the cursor to box in the area of interest, release and ZOOM!
25
25 Power Quality/Power Flow Options Two Key Options are Available at a Low Cost Power Quality Option Captures Waveforms Based on Event (Surge/Sag, THD, Sub-Cycle) Trigger or Time Trigger You can See Disturbances, Select Waveforms and Do Harmonic Analysis By Capturing Post-Trigger Cycles, You can See how the Disturbance Resolved Itself
26
26 Power Quality Option: Waveform Capture/Harmonic Analysis - Here is a lighting strike in the vicinity of this residence
27
27 1 - Select a Waveform with the Cursor 2 - Click on Create for a Harmonic Analysis Harmonic Analysis
28
28 Harmonic Summary Selected Waveform Detailed Harmonic Analysis And Here Is The Harmonic Analysis!!
29
29 KVAH KWH PF Power Flow Option: Record all Key Power Parameters, Investigate Billing Complaints, Even Look at Vector Relationships
30
30 Reports AVO-Metrosoft Can Automatically Generate Many Different Reports For You: Tabular Reports (basic raw data) Out of Limits Reports (Event Data) Weekly Energy Report (a whole single week for any one selected demand parameter) Voltage Regulation Report
31
31 Tabular Report: Voltage/Current
32
32 Note that Power by phase as well as total, and also true pf,displacement pf, voltage and current imbalance per demand interval are presented. Tabular Report: Demand
33
33 Out of Limits Report (Event Data) Event Details Event Summary with type of event
34
34 Summary Why have we built so much power into a residential unit? Because Power Quality Problems Have Found Their Way into The Home –Many Home Offices with Sensitive Equipment and UPS’s/Surge Arrestors –Chips in Many New Appliances To Protect Your Investment With De-regulation, Power Quality Problems in the Home/Light Commercial are Going to Get Worse, Not Better
35
35 Summary, Continued mr-2/4 Using Advanced Technology Offer: Ease of Use, Flexibility, Versatility Fast, Easy Field Upgradeability Users can Start with the Simplest Unit and Add Power Quality and/or Power Flow Options when and if They Want to Make Their Unit Almost into a Full Blown Powerline Disturbance Analyzer
