Chauvin Arnoux PEL103 Power/Energy Logger Complete Kit

Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Logger - Complete Kit

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL103 Power/Energy Logger Complete Kit includes a Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Logger, Chauvin Arnoux MA194/350 MiniFlex Clamp, self-powered adaptor, Free Dataview Software, as well as an array of testing accessories. Please see 'What's Included?' for a complete list of the items supplied in this kit. 

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Logger can be used to monitor the energy and power consumption of electrical systems without disturbing the mains power supply. It is suitable for use with all electrical installation types, including single-phase, split-phase and three-phase (with or without neutral).

Measurement Capabilities

Three current sensors and three voltage inputs facilitate the Chauvin Arnoux Power & Energy Logger's measurement capabilities. It automatically recognises the connected sensor type and can be used to measure the following parameters:

• Voltage: 10 to 1000V AC/DC
• Current AC: up to 10kA 
• Current DC: up to 5kA (Additional current clamp required to measure DC)
• Voltage ratio / current ratio: up to 650 000V / 25 000A
• Power: from 10 W/var/VA to 10 GW/Gvar/GVA
• Energy: up to 4EWh / 4 EVAh / 4 Evarh and total energy (4 quadrants)
• Phase: cos φ, tan Φ, PF
• Harmonics: up to the 50^th order
• DC Network frequency: 50Hz, 60Hz and 400Hz

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 supports analogue measurements, as well as RMS and DC measurements with 128 samples/cycle simultaneously on each phase. It can also be used to determine the crest factor, calculate the total harmonic distortion for currents and voltages, and break down detected energy losses.

Measurements and calculations are indicated on the LCD display and may be recorded in real-time onto an SD card. Moreover, data can be transferred to a PC (also in real-time) via an Ethernet, Bluetooth or USB interface and the supplied PEL Transfer Software. The PEL Transfer Software can be used to view and analyse results, as well as configure the energy logger and verify its connections prior to operation.

Additionally, Chauvin Arnoux’s Free DataView® Software can be used to create customised reports, as well as standard energy consumption reports. For further details regarding this FREE software, please see the description below.

Finally, the Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Logger's magnetised, compact design makes it ideal for conducting measurements in small and/or cramped spaces without causing disruption to the electrical system.

Applications

• Energy efficiency projects
• Monitoring electrical distribution systems
• Monitoring and mapping consumption on worksites: ideal for factory, workshop, building, and agency sites. This instrument can simultaneously monitor real-time consumption and historical consumption while performing a comparative analysis of consumption.
• Predictive maintenance: the logger constantly monitors active, apparent, and reactive power values allowing it to detect when the specified power threshold has been breached. This allows the user to address the issue causing the overconsumption quickly.
• Networking and centralised consumption management: when used in conjunction with other Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Loggers, users can monitor the energy consumption of different sectors.
• Monitor adjustments: measurements taken are date and time stamped, therefore users can compare measurements before system alterations and measurements after any alterations, allowing them to determine whether any changes made to the installation have been effective.
• Measure motors
• Characterisation of electric motors: determine the rotation speed, efficiency, and motor torque using Chauvin Arnoux's PEL 100 wANDROID app. Please see the video below for instructions on how to download and use the PEL Android App.

The Chauvin Arnoux PEL 103 Power & Energy Logger is a versatile, comprehensive, and ergonomic instrument. It is ideal for measuring and monitoring electrical installations in a variety of environments.
