Power Quality Metering

• Large inertia loads - examples include centrifuge equipment, dewatering machines and roving machines
• 4-quadrant loads - elevators, cranes and pumpjacks (oil extraction machines)
• Quick braking - machine tools, bag making machines, auto storage and retrieval systems and lathes
• Long term energy feedback - wind power, water power, steel printing and paper making machinery (winding equipment)
• Improves power quality for semiconductor and panel industries

Why use the Ideal Heat Seeker?

The HeatSeeker® can save you time and money by accurately measuring temperatures in an instant. Dual cursors provide real-time readings of the hottest and coldest temperatures, and the ability to overlay the thermal image on top of the digital image allow for better clarity and precision.

HeatSeeker® can be applied to a variety of industries in order to help ensure energy efficiency, personal safety, product quality and more. Other fields that benefit from HeatSeeker thermal imaging include:

• Building maintenance
• Coast Guard
• Electric light and power companies
• Emergency services
• Fire
• Government
• Home and building inspectors
• HVAC
• Police
• Roofers
• Solar
• Window installers

This three-phase energy meter with removable front LCD display unit can be used either as a DIN-rail mounting or a panel mounting energy meter.

This general purpose three-phase energy meter is suitable for both active and reactive energy metering for cost allocation but also for main electrical parameter measurement and retransmission (transducer function).

Detachable display allows three installation modes - DIN rail energy meter, panel mounting, energy meter and transducer.

The nature of our voltage mains has changed greatly in the last 10 years. With the proliferation of non-linear loads such as inverters, power converters, switch-mode power supplies, and computers, there is a growing concern for the quality of our power sources.

Problems often arise which can cause equipment failure or shutdown resulting in significant costs and loss of production. Power quality problems can result in failure of compensation capacitors, tripping of fuses, over-heating of transformers and motors, failures of electronic equipment, and high neutral currents.

Energy costs are becoming a significant expense in most processes. With increased energy unit costs, decreased generating capacity, and the environmental concerns with the burning of fossil fuels, it is important that companies reduce their electrical consumption.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your industrial automation distributor – with Carlo Gavazzi offer a broad range of power quality meters and transducers which give early warning of power quality problems - allowing preventative action to be taken before a major failure results. Most of our products offer relay outputs that can be used to immediately shut down a piece of equipment if a certain threshold is reached. Another option is to connect to your PLC or PC control system to provide plant wide monitoring of power quality using 4-20 mA current signals or via RS485 or Ethernet communications.

We also offer a number of software products for monitoring of a network of meters and transducers. This allows at-a-glance viewing of your complete power system.  If you are in need of any Carlo Gavazzi sensors or car washing systems equipment, call us today!  800-325-9653.  We'd be happy to help you!

The DWS-V-DAC13 by Carlo Gavazzi is a cup anemometer designed for measuring air speed in a wide variety of applications, including wind turbines, buildings, cranes, weather stations, green-houses, etc. The product contains both PNP- and NPN open collector outputs, in which a fixed current is switched proportionally to the air speed at the rate of 10 pulses per m/s.

Do you have little room in your panel but still need a digital indicator?  Simpson Meters has the answer.  Whether you are looking for an AC digital panel meter or a DC digital panel meter, the Mini M135 and M145 can work for you.

Phase Monitors are protective devices that can shut the compressor down if there’s a problem with the incoming power.  There are different versions that can sense all or some of the following:

• Unbalanced voltage
• High Voltage
• Low Voltage
• Loss of a phase
• Phase reversal

Any one of these problems can cause serious and expensive damage to the compressor. In areas where the quality or consistency of incoming power is questionable, phase monitors are cheap insurance against an expensive failure.

Marshall Wolf Automation has single and 3 phase monitors to protect your equipment. We are authorized industrial supply distributors for Simpson Meters, Carlo Gavazzi Sensors as well a numbers other lines and products.
