3.7 Device description
The device is suitable for
·Measurements and calculations of electrical
quantities such as voltage, current, power, ener-
gy, harmonics current in building installations, on
distribution boards, circuit breakers and busbar
trunking systems.
·Measurements of voltages and currents from the
same network.
·Measurements in low-voltage networks in which
nominal voltages of up to 417 V from conductors
to ground and surge voltages of overvoltage
category III occur.
·Measurements in medium and high voltage
networks via current and voltage transformers.
Measurements in medium and high voltage
networks are made via current and voltage trans-
formers!
·Current measurement via external ../1 A or ../5 A
current transformers
·Installation in stationary switch cabinets or small
distribution boards, in any mounting orientation.
·Use in residential and industrial areas.
The measurement device displays measurement
results and measurement results can be read out
and further processed via the interface.
3.8 Measuring method
The device measures
·Continuously and calculates all effective values
using in a 200 ms interval.
·The true RMS value (TRMS) of the voltages and
currents applied to the measuring inputs.
3.9 Transformer
Please note! It is not permitted to use the outputs
of Janitza measurement devices and components
for switching protective devices or protective
relays! Use only "Current transformers for measur-
ing purposes” for Janitza measurement devices
and Janitza components!
3.10 Operating concept
The operating concept of the measurement de-
vice incorporates the following methods:
·
6 function buttons with display
for configura-
tion and acquisition of data.
·The
GridVis network analysis and program-
ming software
®
for programming and analysis
of data
.
·The
Modbus protocol and the Modbus ad-
dress list
to configure and read out data. The
Modbus address list is available at www.janitza.
de.
This user manual describes how to operate the
measurement device using the 6 function buttons
and how to use the Modbus editor. The GridVis
®
network analysis software has its own "online
help" and e-learning modules.
3.11 GridVis
®
network analysis software
The GridVis
®
software (download at
www.janitza.de) is the perfect tool for the configu-
ration, readout and analysis of measurement data.
Performance characteristics of the GridVis
®
software
·Configure and read out data from your measure-
ment device.
·Graphic display of measured values.
·Store measurement data in databases.
·Analyze measurement data that has been read
out.
Connections to the PC (GridVis
®
software)
Connections for communication between the
PC and the measurement device can be found
in chap. „8. Connection and PC connections“ on
page 28.
ATTENTION
Malfunction or damage to the device due to
improper connection.
Improper device connection can deliver incorrect
measured values or damage the device.
Observe the following:
·
That measured voltages and currents come
from the same network.
·
Do not use the device for measuring direct
current!
·
Ground current-conducting switchboards!
