Standard FeaturesPerfect for industrial, commercial andutility applications, the performanceenhanced EPM 9000, includes all theattributes required for the highest levelof PQ analysis and communications.Fromtoday’sutilitygiantstoFortune100companies to localelectricalmunicipals,an effective energy management andpower-monitoringprogram is critical forsuccess. The EPM 9000 is an advancedmonitoring product , providing the totalpictureofpowerusageandpowerqualityfor any metered point within a powerdistribution network allowing users tomakepowerrelateddecisionsquicklyandeffectively.
Robust Communication
FourIsolatedHigh-speedCommunicationPorts: EPM 9000 offers four built-incommunication ports. Each port cancommunicate independently usingsupportedprotocols. StandardprotocolsincludeModbus RTU/ASCII andDNP 3.0.LogsandwaveformeventsareavailableinModbusformat.Port3andPort4canbe used as aModbus slave for externaloutputmodules.8Built-inDigitalHighSpeedStatusInputs:Theseinputsautomaticallysensewhetherthecircuitisexternallywetted.Ifexternallywetted,theinputwillacceptupto400VDC.If internallywetted, theunit supplies theneeded voltage for the desired controlapplication.High Speed-Transducer Outputs forControl Purposes: EPM 9000 offers 50millisec updates for all instantaneousreadings. The unit can be a high-speedcontrol transducerforpowergeneration,transmission line synchronization andothercontrolschemes.
Precision Power Quality Measurement
16-bitWaveformandFaultRecorder:EPM9000 captures up to 512 samples percycle for an event . Voltage and currentare recorded with pre-and-post-eventanalysis.Hardwareandsoftwaretriggersare available to activate a waveformreading, which can be used for powerquality surveys, fault analysis, breakertiming,motorstart-up,etc.MeasureandRecordHarmonicsMagnitudeto the 255th Order: Measure harmonics
magnitudeuptothe255thorderforeachvoltage and current channel. Real-timeharmonicsmagnitudeareresolvedtothe128th order. Percent THD and K-factorarealsocalculated.Harmonicmagnitudeanalysis allows users to conduct powerquality analysis at the high end of theharmonicspectrum.Sub-Cycle Transient Recorder: The unitrecords sub-cycle transients on voltageandcurrentreadings.Itmonitorsswitchingnoise from capacitors, static transferswitches, SCRs and many other “power
quality harmful” devices. Transientsare often the cause of intermittent andexpensive downtime, and may causedamagetoelectricalequipment.Phasor Analysis: The monitor readsa phase angle analysis between thevoltageandcurrentchannels,allowingforefficiencyandsystem-integrityanalysis.Inter-harmonics Analysis: The EPM 9000provides users with the ability to viewinter-harmonics,thediscretefrequenciesthat lie between the harmonics of thepower frequency voltage and current .
