Handheld power quality analyser

4 February 2015 Test & Measurement

Metrel’s MI 2892 is a handheld, three-phase power quality analyser (PQA) with a large, easy-to-read graphical colour display enabling the user to detect harmonics, phasors and waveform anomalies simply and quickly.

This PQA finds application in power quality assessment and troubleshooting in low- and medium-voltage electrical systems; the checking of power correction equipment performance; long-term analysis; predictive maintenance; and verification of electrical system capacity before adding loads.

The instrument is designed for long-term recording as well as for troubleshooting power quality problems in three-phase and single-phase power distribution systems. The handy Quick Set buttons make it more user-friendly and facilitate faster data overview for troubleshooting.

An advanced PC software package called PowerView3 enables detailed analysis of recorded data, direct reading from the microSD memory card, analysis of long-term records and automatic creation of professional test reports.
