Introducing DranXperT® – a portable, low cost PQ detector, power and sensor logger from Dranetz.
DranXperT is three meters in one:
- PQ detector with 1/2 cycle resolution to identify and record common PQ issues such as sags/dips, swells, interruptions, and harmonics, as well as changes in current
- Accurate, 3 phase, bi-directional power/energy logger
- Sensor logger – available analog & digital inputs. Log environmental and other sensors, alarms and more in parallel with power
Being a Dranetz, DranXperT’s measurements are second to none. Detect and record PQ problems, such as sags/dips, swells, interruptions and harmonics. DranXperT measures all of the power parameters that you expect, such as W, VA, VAR, PF, Demand and Energy. Being a bidirectional power meter, direction of power flow is also measured for use in DER/alternative energy applications. With the available sensor inputs, DranXperT can also log any 0-10V or 4-20ma sensor and digital inputs in parallel with the power measurements.
DranXperT includes free, unlicensed Dran-View Pro software, a web browser user interface, and strong remote communications for use in virtually any portable, or temporary power monitoring application. Connect your computer directly to DranXperT using the supplied Ethernet cable, or to any local/private/corporate network, and even the Internet for remote communications. All that you need is a web browser on any PC, tablet or Smartphone to configure the meter for recording and for real time data review. Data is easily transferred for analysis to your PC via a USB drive or by downloading using your web browser.
No other product at this price point can achieve this high level of capability – a complete bi-directional energy/power meter, plus sensor logging, plus the PQ monitoring capabilities that you expect from a Dranetz. Download the DranXperT brochure from our Product Brochures page.
