The meter stores an independent CBEMA log for magnitude and duration of voltage events. This allows a user to quickly view total surges, total sags and duration, without retrieving waveform data.

Simultaneous Voltage and Current Waveform Recorder. The unit records up to 512 samples per cycle for a voltage sag or swell or a current fault event. The unit provides the preand post-event recording capability shown in the table below. Waveform records are programmable to the desired sampling rate. V5 provides up to 3 Megabytes storage and V6 provides a total of 4 Megabytes.The meter’s advanced DSP design allows Power Quality triggers to be based on a 1 cycle updated RMS. Up to 170 events can be stored until the memory fills. The meter stores waveform data in a first-in/first-out circular buffer to insure data is always recording.

Harmonic Recording to the 40th Order

The Shark® 200 meter provides advanced harmonic analysis to the 40th order for each voltage and current channel in real time. Using the stored waveforms, harmonic analysis is available to the 255th order.

TYPICAL SUBSTATION SOLUTIONS

SHARK 200 METER ANSI AND DIN MOUNTING

Traditionally, voltage recording meters were relegated to high cost metering or monitoring solutions. The Shark® 200 meter can be placed throughout an electrical distribution network. The meter provides one of the industry’s lowest cost methods of collecting voltage information within a Utility power distribution grid.

  • Perform voltage reliability analysis insuring proper voltage to customers. • Compare voltage reliability throughout transmission or distribution networks.
  • Monitor the output of substation transformers or line regulators.
  • Initiate conservation voltage reduction, reducing system demand.
  • Monitor highly accurate frequency to regulate frequency stability.
  • Replace costly frequency transducers

  • Provide revenue accurate load profiling.
  • Determine substation usage.
  • Analyze feeder capacity and utilization.
  • Provide time based load profile for planning and estimation.
  • Data trend PF distribution and imbalances for system efficiency analysis

LOW COST SUBSTATION TELEMETRY

The Shark® 200 meter’s advanced output capability brings back data using many different communication media such as RS485, Ethernet and analog outputs. This insures that one meter can be used for almost every substation application, no matter what communication infrastructure is needed.

  • Perfect for new or retrofit applications.
  • Multiple Com paths.
  • One meter provides outputs for every application.
  • Multiple systems and/or users accessing data simultaneously.
