Applications for the PowerGuide 4400

Typical Applications

Troubleshooting

The PowerGuide 4400’s unique annunciator "report card" provides instant power quality answers in the field. Data is presented in color-coded categories to quickly identify areas of concern, identified in red. Drill down for more detailed information by simply touching the graphical screen.

Fault Recording

The PowerGuide 4400’s simple fault recording mode provides instantaneous detection of electrical malfunctions and identification of faults within a facility’s power infrastructure.

InRush

The PowerGuide 4400 goes beyond other power monitoring instruments in measuring inrush by providing current based RMS triggers and peak threshold crossings to optimize the performance and longevity of that key equipment.

Compliance Monitoring

The PowerGuide 4400 has been designed to meet the most advanced power quality standards, including IEEE 1159, IEC 61000-4-30 Class A and EN50160.

Equipment Performance Testing

Determining the availability and compatibility of facility power prior to the installation of new equipment is simplified using the PowerGuide 4400. The instrument incorporates advanced features such as RMS triggers, low/medium frequency transients, and cross triggering between channels used to demonstrate that power mitigation devices such as UPSs are operating properly.

Energy Surveys

The PowerGuide 4400 is an invaluable tool for performing energy surveys, including monitoring energy consumption, usage patterns, peak demands and the activation of large loads to reduce electricity costs.
