Power monitoring unit gains conformity

Dranetz-BMI has received a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from Technology International (Europe) for its Encore Series permanent power monitoring unit in 50/60 Hz AC power supplies.
Dranetz-BMI, a worldwide leader in power monitoring instrumentation, has received a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from Technology International (Europe) Limited for its Encore Series permanent power monitoring unit. The Encore conforms to the requirements of IEC 61000-4-30:2003 Class A Testing and Measurement Techniques- Power Quality Monitoring. The IEC 61000-4-30:2003 defines the methods for measurement and interpretation of results for power quality parameters in 50/60Hz AC power supply systems.

These are the most stringent requirements for power quality instruments established to date.

The basis for these requirements is to ensure that the power quality measurements are accurate and repeatable.

The next generation of permanent monitoring systems, the Encore Series' configurable design, allows users to specify the right instrumentation arrangement for their specific application.

With the Encore Series, users have their choice of voltage, current and data acquisition modules to build from one to four virtual instruments in a single, compact, cost-effective format.

By combining four modules in one instrument for applications that previously required two or more instruments, users will save money, prevent integration aggravation and gain physical space.

The Encore Series uses the same multi-user web interface of the Signature System and the local color touch screen display (optional) of the PX5 family of portable Dranetz-BMI products.

The Encore Series Software provides a user-friendly web browser environment for entire systems and provides advanced trending, data analysis, reporting, real time and setups for one or more instruments.
