eGrid Test Systems: Testing the Grid and Its Components

The HBM eGrid series of Power Meters and Power Analyzers are designed to be used in grid-based applications or to test grid connected components. With their channel count, sample rate and bandwidth they meet all the demands of the relevant standards for grid testing. 
Special analysis routines as needed for grid testing, like Phazor diagrams or computation of symmetrical components, are available. Also, THD or Harmonic Analysis can be done. 
And the POWER METERS offer an easy to use yet modern user interface, based on a web server technology allowing you to use YOUR mobile device to display the meter readings. 

  • 3 or 6 power channels 
  • Certified inputs with 1000 V CAT IV
  • Direct connection of current transducers or current clamps 

Accurate

  • Accuracy 0.015% reading + 0.02% range
  • High accuracy even at very low power factors  
  • High bandwidth to allow Harmonic Analysis to very high order numbers

R&D Power Analyzer Applications in Grid Related Tests

eGrid Power Analysers offer 3 or 6 power channels with a sample rate of 200 kS/s; they can be expanded in channel count, or with mechanical inputs like acceleration or temperatur, or with higher sample rate input boards. They use Perception Enterprise / ePower software offering the usability and performance of a POWER ANALYZER combined with the flexibility of a DAQ system. “t” mainframes are used using an external PC, while “I” systems feature an integrated WIN10 PC.
