Continuity

Complete data collection

In the wake of stricter monitoring of consumption and efficiency of electrical appliances, new standards and procedures (eg SPECpower_ssj2008, IEC 62301) will continuously be created to enable an objective comparison of the different manufacturers. Whether it is workstations, servers or appliances, is irrelevant to the principle: The long-term evaluation of the power consumption has always to take all relevant operating conditions into account. The differences between minimum load - e.g., Idle mode, - and full load can thereby be of considerable magnitude, which requires a very sophisticated means of measurement (see also Application Note No. 102, "Measurement of standby power and energy efficiency."). The measurements must be carried out over several hours and may not show any gaps. By selecting a sufficiently large measurement range, range changes and the inevitably resulting data losses can be avoided. The fundamental precision LMG600 also ensures an accurate measurement at the lower limit of a range.

Exact signal transit time

Exact measurements thanks to minimal runtime differences

The fast switching semiconductors used to improve the efficiency of  modern frequency converters cause extremely steep voltage edges. The resulting capacitive currents affect the bearings and the motor insulation - this can lead to premature failure.
Motor filter (e.g. du / dt filter) attenuate the voltage gradient, but generate themselves power dissipation due to the settling of the filters' frequencies (typically > 100 kHz). The high bandwidth and the small time difference between the current and voltage of the LMG600 enable highly accurate power loss measurements on the filters at these frequencies, and longitudinal measurements with small cos φ. This also applies to power measurements at high bandwidths up to 10 MHz. This requires that the current and voltage channels must be designed for minimum delay differences; in the LMG600 it is less than 3 ns; this corresponds to 50 Hz at an angle error <1 μrad. The instrument is therefore ideally suited for the power loss measurement at small phase angles for transformers, inductors, capacitors and ultrasonic sensors. No options or adjustments are necessary, as the devices will fully meet this measurement task already in the default setting when shipped. For measurements on circuits of highest performance, typically current and voltage transducers are employed. The phase angle of the converter can be corrected via the runtime menu and thus the measurement accuracy can be improved.

Plug ’n’ Measure

Convenient commissioning with zero risk of misconfiguration

Although the LMG600 offers an unsurpassed dynamics in both the voltage and current range, there are always applications with exceptional demands on the measurement areas. Whether this is to currents of several hundred amperes and voltages of several kilovolts, ZES ZIMMER has a suitable solution at hand. We provide a wide range of current and voltage sensors that is perfectly matched to the precision power meter LMG600 and expands the measurement range of the instrument to the necessary degree. The sensors of our "Plug'n Measure" series are equipped with a bus system, which allows automatic configuration of LMG600. All important parameters, such as the exact scaling factor, the term compensation quantity, the last calibration date and the sensor type, are automatically read by the power meter and included in the measurements. In addition, the sensors' operating power is supplied by LMG600, so that a separate power supply is not necessary. With "Plug'n Measure" mal-adjustment by the user is avoided and the best possible measurement results are guaranteed. From the user's point of view, no difference between direct and sensor-based measurement is perceptible. Of course, other conventional sensors can also be used with the LMG600.

Star-Delta

Conversion from phase to phase in the phase voltages and determination of the active power

For a 3-phase 3-wire system only the phase voltages U12, U23, U31 and the phase currents I1, I2, I3 are amenable to measurement. With the help of star-delta conversionline, voltages can be determined in the inaccessible phase voltages, converted into the associated active powers. In analogy, the phase currents can be converted into the "chained" currents. From the values ​​thus calculated, all other variables, e.g. harmonics, are derived. Distortions and asymmetries of power and consumers are considered correctly. The use of an external artificial neutral point is thus superfluous, but such can be connected, if required, at any time, in case the associated disadvantages (e.g. increased power dissipation) are accepted.
