For field use I've found Dranetz and RPM (http://www.powerqualityinc.com/rpm.html) to be the most durable. Colorado Brian

If for "occasional field use", do not understand your I/O requirements. For PQ/datalogging, make my own stuff. For power analyzer, tend to prefer Voltech and Fluke. Note that Voltech PAs were transferred to Tektronix. Rent the most likely candidates before you buy. Brian From: Adam Dixon [mailto:lanterna.viri...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2016 8:55 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] power quality monitors/analyzers I would appreciate recommendations for power quality monitors/analyzers to use for occasional field use. There are a couple of archive threads related to this (1999 and 2006) where a few manufacturers are shared. I've searched the web several times in the past few weeks and it appears that there is a wide cost range depending on sample rate, single vs. three phase, low voltage only, networked, etc. and that the marketing term 'low cost' is relative. ;-) The power supplies with which I am working have a 20ms hold-up spec and are 85-264VAC rated. Ideally it would be networked in some fashion, whether built-in Ethernet (TCP/IP) or tethered via USB or RS232 to a PC that is networked which may remain in-situ for hours to weeks depending on the test requirement. Is there a make/model that you think has an obvious price/performance benefit and/or one that is quite low cost if evaluating rent vs purchase? I have read datasheets from Fluke, Dranetz, Yokogawa, Hiok, Megger, PSL, Setra, Rockwell Automation, ACScout, ACR Systems and a few others which escape me at the moment. Thanks for reading.
