is a leading device equipped with new functions for measuring and monitoring power consumption
and for advanced power and power quality analysis. This device can measure, display, process and transmit all
the parameters of a system.
With regard to the most common power analysers, its main unique features are as follows:
new, modern, elegant design which makes this device a
handheld product – and therefore, light and easy-
to-use – with the best performance in its category;
Highly efficient 128x128 pixels backlit graphical LCD for high ductility display (multilingual menus,
waveforms, histograms, menus, drawings, schemes, images customisation, etc.) and perfect viewing even
from a distance;
4 voltage measuring channels (3 with common n 1 auxiliary independent) up to 600V CAT III, able
to measure continuous voltage with an accuracy of
±
0.25% + SF err.;
5 current inputs (3 indep 1 for neutral c 1 auxiliary) able to measure continuous voltage
with an accuracy of
±
0.25+SF err.;
Equipped with
flexible current clamps up to 3000A. Traditional full scale sensors, which can be set by the
user, may also be used.
High performance battery pack with more than 24 hours of battery life, so that extended measurement
campaigns can also be performed without using main power supply;
Powerful but compact external power supply, compatible with all types of sockets (USA/JP, EU, UK, AU);
Membrane keypad with 10 double-function keys for easier scrolling of menus and access to different
functions;
Calculation engine based on 16-bit microprocessor, allowing for the measurement of all standard quantities
(V I P Q A F PF THD% etc.) in true root mean square (TRMS) value, as well as:
●
Measurement of minimum, average and maximum instant values
on 4 quadrants (absorbed and
generated).
●
Absorbed and produced power counters (kWh kVA kVAr), which can be password-protected.
●
Power quality analysis by measuring:
current and voltage harmonics (all 7 input channels) up to the 50th order;
Network interruptions & micro-interruptions
Dips (brownouts)
Swells (overvoltages)
EN50160 test (reference standard for power quality)
●
Event log (last 5 alarms, 5 dips, 5 swells, 5 interruptions)
●
Power measurement during 4 time periods (tariffs), which can be set
●
For three-phase and each single phase!!!
●
6 different electrical systems which can be analysed (single-phase; two-phase; 3-lead three-phase
(unbalanced); 4-lead three-phase (unbalanced); 3-lead three-phase (balanced); 4-lead three-phase
(balanced).
●
Medium voltage connection available
User can
select the values to be displayed.
Multilingual menus (English, Italian, German, Spanish, French).
Automatic connection test to check if electrical connections are correct.
Micro SD memory card for extended measurement campaigns.
Special PC software, allowing for advanced analysis of data stored on uSD card.
1.1 - Intended Use
NanoVIP

is a measuring tool designed for those in need of an accurate and easy-to-use product. It is aimed at
both users who want to understand their systems better, and Energy Managers, system installers, electricians,
and maintenance workers, for diagnosis and intervention, or for the provision of integral consulting services on
electrical power.

allows users to:
•
monitor loads, consumption and related costs;
•
check if the new systems are dimensioned correctly;
•
prevent overheating and lack of insulation due to high harmonics content;
•
solve any power factor correction problems;
•
identify and eliminate load peaks and excess demand, thereby reducing contractual power consumption;
•
monitor power and consumption in the different time bands;
•
check and assess the performance of UPSs, with AC/DC measurements;
