Applications for the Power Platform PP-4300

Typical Applications

Troubleshooting

Put the 4300 to work immediately diagnosing power-related equipment problems. Featuring easy set up and operation, the 4300 is a versatile tool for identifying and locating disturbances, determining their causes, and providing the critical data eeded to respond quickly and efficiently.

Preventative Maintenance

The 4300 is the only handheld instrument that independently triggers on voltage transients and RMS variations. The 4300’s built-in ability to simultaneously capture harmonic disturbances and power flow enables monitoring for up to 16 parameters including V, I, W, VA, VAR, power factor, demand, and energy.

Proactive Planning

The 4300 enables users to anticipate and address power quality ipacts from process changes, fluctuating demand, or the installation of new equipment and facilities. Users can add or balance loads, verify eqipment performance, or determine the need and effectiveness of mitigation systems.

Financial Managment

Obtain the data to manage power systems, from accurate cost allocation to energy contract compliance, evaluation of alternative rate structures, and determination of damand during different process cycles.
