BUILDING RELIABILITY INTO A VAULT MOUNTED POWER QUALITY MONITORING STATION
The environment in switch vaults is nasty. Vaults regularly ll with water that contain all sorts of contaminates. The Cleaveland/Price PQN‐V enclo‐sure is designed specically to endure this kind of environment. The submersible vault mounted PQ Node enclosure is rated IP68 and features: Stainless steel construc�on Removable gasketed access panel Gore vent to allow equaliza�on of ambient and
internal enclosure pressure Pressure ll valve Li�ing eyes Keyhole moun�ng points
Each enclosure undergoes a produc�on test that ver‐ies that the enclosure is water‐�ght.
TRUST BUT VERIFY The PQ Node enclosure is designed to insure its IP68 ra�ng. To verify that the unit is water‐�ght, the enclosure has moisture detec�on sensors at each bo�om corner that will ac�vate an alarm should there be any accumula�on of water within the enclosure.
WATER-TIGHT WIRING ENTRANCESAll wiring entrances into the PQ Node terminate to encapsulated connectors. Wiring entrance points are supplied with sealing caps that protect contacts from contamina�on should the external wires not be connected. Even without the caps in place, the po�ed connec�ons prevent water from entering. External wires supplied by Cleaveland/Price are designed and manufactured to prevent the ingress of water.
COMMUNICATIONS The PQ Node enclosure is supplied with a water‐�ght, tamper‐proof RJ‐45 Ethernet port with padlockable cover for local interface with the power quality monitor. A Maxrad type antenna with sealed connec�on is provided for wireless network communica�on. Other communica�on op�ons are available.
