Choosing The Right Equipment

Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se What do you need to measure? Power quality is assessed based on a number of power quality parameters. Today’s instruments usually handle the most common parameters such as voltage, current, power, harmonics, voltage dips, flicker and transients. Often it is difficult to say in advanceContinue reading “Choosing The Right Equipment”

Example of Frequency Variations causing SlowScan Recording

Published by Jonny Carlsson, Unipower AB, Case Study: Example of Frequency Variations causing SlowScan Recording, Date: October 25th, 2011. http://www.unipower.se In the following examples a Unipower UP2210 Power Quality meter is measuring SlowScan events. The SlowScan trig level is set to 50Hz +- 0.15Hz with a recorder time of 120 seconds. Example 1:The voltage level isContinue reading “Example of Frequency Variations causing SlowScan Recording”

Measuring PQ Issues in a Bus Depot Using Unipower HW and Software

Published by Unipower AB, Metallgatan 4C, 44132 Alingsås, Sweden. Email: info@unipower.se Introduction This case study explores how advanced power quality measurement technology facilitated the diagnosis of severe power quality disturbances in a bus depot. These disturbances, which neither the bus operator nor the bus manufacturer initially attributed to electrical quality issues, were ultimately traced toContinue reading “Measuring PQ Issues in a Bus Depot Using Unipower HW and Software”

Transient Detection using Peak Detectors

Published by Jonny Carlsson, Unipower AB, http://www.unipower.se Background The main problem with transients in the electrical network is that a high voltage potential might break the isolation barrier in for example cables or other equipment in the electrical network. It may also harm semiconductors that are sensitive of high voltage. A transient voltage is byContinue reading “Transient Detection using Peak Detectors”
