3 Device overview
The CAM mobile is a measurement device to be used in any low voltage power distribution. It bases on the
SINEAX CAM, a proven universal measurement unit for heavy-current quantities, equipped with data logger,
lists, display and USB interface. The CAM mobile is designed for the non-stationary analysis of energy demand
and system state quantities. It provides the following capabilities to the user:
- Continuous analysis of present system state
- Acquisition of disturbances, as voltage fluctuations or voltage sags
- Acquisition of system load variations over time
- Investigation of billing relevant quantities as peak load, load characteristic and active / reactive energy
demand summaries
By using Rogowski coils a wide application field in distributions from 30 up to 3000A may be covered. For the
configuration of the device before the application in the field and the subsequent data analysis PC skills are
required, because the device itself can only visualize measurements but does not allow performing any settings
or detailed analyses.
In the following chapters the planning of the device application, the performing of the measurement and the
analysis of the recorded data is described in detail. The following main topics will be described:
A
Preparation of measurement application
: By means of the CB-Manager software (on CD) the
measurement functionality can be pre-configured, the events to be monitored can be fixed and the data
logger can be parameterized.
B
C
Checking the correct installation
D
E
By means of the CB-Analyzer software (on CD) measurement data can be
analyzed and if desired exported for further analysis in other programs.
