Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 Power & Energy Logger – Choice of Kit

Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 Power & Energy Logger

Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 Power & Energy Logger is an electrical monitoring instrument with three voltage inputs, three current inputs, and a quadruple backlit digital display. It can be used to identify sources of energy loss and optimise energy efficiency. To this end, it enables maintenance teams and/or electrical contractors to record electrical parameters over several months and break down energy losses. The PEL113 is a self-powered (via phase) tool that can be installed without cutting off the mains supply.

Measurements & Functions

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 determines and analyses useful, unbalance active, harmonic active, non-active, reactive, distorting, and apparent energy. To this end, it includes the following measurement capabilities and functions:

• RMS and DC measurement with 128 samples/cycle simultaneously on each phase
• AC/DC voltage up to 1000V
• Current up to 10 kA AC, 5 kA DC (depending on the current sensor)
• Active, reactive (N,D,QF) and apparent power values
• Active energy values
• Fundamental active power values (Pf)
• Balanced active power values (P+)
• Unbalance active power (Punb)
• Motor measurement and characterisation
• Breakdown of energy losses
• Phase data: cos, tan, power factor (PF)
• Crest factor
• THD calculation for currents and voltages
• DC, 50Hz, 60Hz, and 400Hz (Naval, etc)

Voltage and current ratios equip the PEL113 with an extensive measurement range. This instrument will automatically recognise the connected sensor type making measurement easier and more efficient.

Measurements and calculated results are saved to the removable SD card.

PEL Transfer Software

The PEL Transfer Software is a configuration, analysis, and reporting software. With this software, users can set up the PEL113; verify connections before commencing testing; and download recorded results to a PC. Once data is imported, the PEL Transfer Software will automatically analyse power measurement campaigns, highlighting energy losses and breaking down energy values. Users can generate energy consumption reports easily and are equipped with all the information required to prioritise corrective actions effectively.

Android Application

Chauvin Arnoux also offers an Android app that can be used to view the PEL113’s connection to the electrical network and perform motor diagnostics.

Communication Interfaces

PEL Transfer Software, combined with wired and wireless communication interfaces, enables data transfer and real-time monitoring. The Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 supports the following interfaces:

• Ethernet: allows PELs to be interconnected and controlled via the PEL Transfer Software; the Ethernet interface can be used at the same time as Wi-Fi communication
• Wi-Fi: PELs may be connected to a company’s IT network via a server or directly to a PC/smartphone
• IRD DataView® Synch: secure server allows you to view data from anywhere around the world
• USB: facilitates the configuration and/or control of PELs, as well as the downloading of data

Applications

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 can be used to optimise energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the performance of electrical systems across a variety of industry sectors, including:

• Renewable energies: photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric, thermal, thermo-dynamic
• Process industries: metallurgy, glassmaking, paper, chemicals, and agri-food
• Building, construction and renovation: housing and facilities
• Public services/transport: the PEL113 can be used to monitor lighting, road, motorways, tunnels, and rail systems where energy consumption is occurring
• Datacentre: monitoring and analysing electrical energy consumption

The PEL113 is suitable for the following applications.

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL113 Power & Energy Logger is a comprehensive electricity monitoring tool that can help businesses save money by optimising and controlling their energy consumption.
