Normal operation

During normal operations, PowerLogic technology provides real-time status of your electrical distribution network. Knowing everything is OK lets you focus on proactive system management.

Optimise equipment use

Energy assets throughout all facilities must be properly maintained to assure that equipment operates reliably, cost- effectively, and efficiently in terms of energy consumption, to guarantee maximum uptime and productivity. Real-time and historical data audits reveal relationships between equipment and the conditions affecting system stability.

• Optimise timing and frequency of preventive, proactive maintenance
• Automatically track relay or breaker trips
• Alarm on transformer temperatures, motor performance parameters and other wear indicators
• Justify replacement of more energy efficient equipment
• Differentiate between mechanical and electrical power problems
• Justify investment in equipment to improve power quality
• Allow customised, predictive alarming on motor start up, circuit loading, etc.

Optimise power distribution

Minimise the costs of over stressing or under utilising power distribution. PowerLogic technology strengthens your infrastructure by helping you design right-sized power systems for new facilities, expansions or retrofits.

PowerLogic will also help you optimise your distribution configuration.

• Design to fit actual usage patterns, not guesswork
• Reveal historical and present load patterns and hidden capacity
• Determine if existing infrastructure will accommodate new equipment

Evaluate and mitigate risks to network

PowerLogic technology helps evaluate and mitigate risks throughout the power distribution network. You can analyse your network to optimise clean power and ensure that backup systems are ready, should the need for them arise.

• Exercise, validate, and document correct usage of backup power systems
• Determine if, where, and what type of harmonic filters and power factor correction devices are required to maintain desired power quality levels

Power quality analysis & compliance

Many energy suppliers are incorporating power quality clauses into their contracts, sometimes based on industry-standard metrics.

If you have critical power requirements, your contract may guarantee a minimum level of power quality and availability, and will likely specify compensation for non-compliance.

PowerLogic technology can help assure you receive the level of power quality and availability specified in your contract. The system:

• Determines the true impact of power quality and availability on your operations
• Monitors and analyses all aspects of power quality, including harmonics, disturbances and other important characteristics
• Presents results as power quality compliance reports consistent with international standards such as EN50160
• Features simple pass/fail indicators on each important metric
• Uses measurement methods certified to IEC61000-4-30 Class A measurement standards, ensuring highest reporting accuracy and reliability
• Indicates whether an electrical disturbance originated inside or outside your facility
