Description

Siemens SICAM Q200 Power Quality Instrument

SICAM Q200 Power quality instrument

SICAM Q200 is a network analyzer for high-definition acquisition and assessment of the power quality in electrical power supply systems. It offers algorithms and functions for energy management applications. The device supports continuous acquisition and analysis of all relevant parameters. These results help to identify and implement quality programs to ensure the supply quality. This increases the service life of the equipment while at the same time reducing downtimes. SICAM Q200 is a PQ device Class A acc. to IEC 62586-1/2 and IEC 61000-4-30 Ed. 3 beyond Class A and acquires, visualizes, analyzes and transmits alternating current characteristics such as current, voltage, frequency, performance, harmonic, etc. The measured variables can be provided to a PC, an energy automation/SCADA system and/or shown on a display using communication interfaces. In addition, the SICAM Q200 provides a combined recording and analysis function for measured values directly in the device. Long-term data and events can be transferred to SICAM PQS / PQ Analyzer System via IEC 61850, and flexible analyses and reports (e.g. EN 50160) can be generated.

Applications

Continuous Monitoring of Supply Quality

One of the most frequent causes of unplanned downtimes and device failures is the insufficient quality of the supplied electrical energy. The acquisition and documentation of parameters relevant to supply quality is an important step to identify possible weak points and initiate appropriate measures to eliminate them.

Q200 Power Quality Instrument Application

SICAM Q200 is used in single-phase as well as in three-wire and four-wire systems (with neutral conductor) in power utilities, industries, data centers and in commerce.

Customer benefit

  • The early identification of supply quality problems allows for time and cost savings due to comprehensive acquisition of network parameters.
  • High level of investment security through the use of standards, e.g.: Measuring methods in accordance with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Ed.3 – ensure manufacturer-independent comparable measured values, standard interfaces and protocols (IEC 61850, DNP 3i and MODBUS TCP) and data exchange formats (PQDIF, COMTRADE and CSV) – and thus guarantee interoperability.

* in preparation

Many electronic devices and automation systems in industrial production plants are sensitive to voltage variations and dips in the power supply that are often caused by the unexpected connection of energy sources, such as renewable energy and large energy consumers. The production systems themselves can also cause faults and feed them back into the distribution system. The risk? Plant shutdowns and production loss. The answer? Power quality. Power quality needs to be continuously measured and analyzed so that unexpected risks can be detected early on. Explore the power quality and measurement products with us. Click here!
