ELSPEC G4000 BLACKBOX Digital Fault Recorder Power Quality Analyzer Class-A Power Meter Revenue Grade Energy MeterThe Future of Power Quality The revolutionary Elspec 4000 BLACKBOX (EG4K 8LACKBON is the next generation in Power Quality analyzers provides accurate detection and isolation of Power Quality problems for ‘ive preventive maintenance. In addition to real-time monitoring, with PQZIP, a patented data compression algorith, the EGIK BLACKOX stares onboard all tne waveforms of every network cycle fora yeart al up io ,024 sampies per cycle resolution; Eliminating the need for thresholds, tiggets or to set parameters for logging. The ECAK BLACKBOX ca'culates RMS, Harmonics, anc all desired values from the waveforms in posteprocessing, The total number of parameters is practically unlimited ‘A unique time synchronization algorithm assures that logged data {rom multiple unis is synchronized and displayed on the same time scale with typical 0,1™ms resolution.

Continuous Logging ‘The advantages of continuous logging fr the ease of use and the problems of wrong tigger setup is obvious. The fllowing cate sudy shows an example Whe ere the analysis was not possible without it The image tothe left shows an event logged using common and post- ‘rigger setup, The voltage drop on every shase and its duration can be clearly seen. While itis definitely possible to deduce tha’ the 7 cycle event of 60% drop did occur, there is absolutcly no way of knowing why itheppened and who was responsible for it: who should pay for the damage and what action fo take in order to prevent reoccurrence Zooming out reveals an event beforchand that would not have becn logged using standard 1025 threshold setting: an after event is shown as well. An educated guess can assume that all three events are linked somehow but nothing mote.
