Dranetz Energy Platform EP1 [DBEPPFLEX3K-3DV] Handheld Electrical Energy and Power Demand Analyzer With 30/300/3,000A Flex CTs and Dran-View Pro Software
The Energy Platform is an innovative tool for gathering, recording and reporting “where, when and how much” electrical energy is used. Whether you want to understand your utility costs, improve efficiency, install energy savings devices, explore alternative energy solutions or even determine your carbon footprint, the Dranetz Energy Platform provides the essential and economical tool to meet your energy monitoring requirements.
The Energy Platform’s 1/4 VGA color touch display, automatic setups, easy to read Demand & Energy Reporting display and Energy Platform Report Writer (EPRW) software are important features of this powerful yet simple to use instrument.
The Energy Platform measures over 50 electrical parameters including voltage, current, power, power factor, harmonic distortion plus forward / reverse energy - essential in distributed generation applications like solar or wind power systems. The Energy Platform is offered as a complete package equipped with voltage cables and current transformers, compact flash data card, software and power supply, all in a soft carrying case. And the optional Point of Utilization Monitoring Adaptor (PUMA) provides a safe and simple connection mechanism for measuring plug-connected single phase loads such as an air conditioner or refrigerator.
The Energy Platform is the one tool you need to get a handle on your facility energy usage.
Advanced demand and energy consumption, and reporting are key capabilities, but the Energy Platform doesn’t stop there. The EP1 also has power quality features and can detect cycle-by-cycle changes in RMS Voltage using industry standard settings. The EP1 measures every voltage cycle and can record when any one cycle exceeds limits. Triggers are chronologically displayed in an easyto-read textual format that shows the time stamp, Sag or Swell characterization, duration, and min/max while out of limits. Voltage and current waveform snapshots are also available and can be recorded on a periodic basis. Snapshots can be used to visually assess the quality of supply or used with Dran-View software. For more advanced power quality applications that require recording of waveshapes, transients, and other important power quality parameters, consider the PowerXplorer, PowerGuide, or PowerVisa from Dranetz.
For more advanced applications, the EP1 is fully compatible with our award winning Dran-View (optional) software that adds advanced analysis in an easy-to-use software package. Dran-View is a powerful tool that makes data analysis easy. DranView has many advanced features, such as bookmarks, zooming, rubber banding, balloon annotations, math functions, and it can even include your company’s logo! The built-in Rescue Kit can help undue monitoring mistakes, such as reversed CT’s, wrong scale factors, wrong instrument time, and more. Dran-View’s report writer has a variety of report functions available to meet any application and now includes the Energy Audit report (also available in EPRW). Dran-View is used worldwide by thousands of power professionals to analyze data generated by Dranetz products.
