⚙️ Why This Instrument is Valuable:

🔬 Compact, Permanent Power Quality Monitoring:
Unlike handheld analyzers, the PM2 series is designed for:

• 24/7 continuous monitoring – capture every disturbance

• Industrial-grade reliability – years of unattended operation

• Compliance documentation – verify power quality per EN 50160, IEEE 519

📊 Comprehensive Analysis Capability:

• Harmonic spectrum analysis – identify resonant conditions, filter performance

• Transient capture – record capacitor switching, load events, lightning effects

• Flicker measurement – assess impact of fluctuating loads (arc furnaces, welders)

• Unbalance analysis – detect system asymmetries, motor stress

• Energy consumption tracking – verify utility bills, identify savings

🏭 Direct 100A / 240V Connection:

• No external transducers required for most low-voltage applications

• Simplified installation – direct to panel or switchgear

• Reduced cost – eliminates need for external CTs/PTs in appropriate applications

📡 Remote Monitoring Capability:

• Ethernet connectivity – integrate with facility SCADA or cloud monitoring

• Web interface – access data from anywhere

• Alarm notifications – receive alerts for power quality events
