Detecting Recloser Events with Boomerang Monitors
Boomerangs provide advanced triggering mechanisms that can be used to detect and send an alert for Recloser events. A "Voltage Low Low" event will be used to trigger an alert,…
Recording Harmonics
There are three primary recording types for harmonics in PMI recorders: stripcharts, daily profiles, and waveform capture harmonic analysis. Each of these has specific pros and cons, and setup considerations…
Using Loss of Periodic Load to Trigger Email Alerts
Boomerang triggering mechanisms are most often used for voltage monitoring, detecting overcurrent/high load conditions, or complete loss of load. However, the advanced triggering features in the Boomerang allow for more…
Understanding Recording Modes
Recorders connected in ProVision have two primary modes: Standby mode and Ready mode. Each of these modes has a distinct purpose, and some recorder operations in ProVision require the recorder…
Using the CBEMA Curve in ProVision
The ability to record CBEMA data points is a feature that is new in PMI Revolution recorders with firmware 5.66 or later. It is also available as part of a…
Interharmonics in ProVision
Recording interharmonic data is a new feature available in certain PMI recorders. Recording of interharmonics is a new feature in the Revolution, and requires at least the firmware version 5.66…
Understanding Telephone Interference Factor
Harmonic distortion that is produced from power conversion systems can cause interference on analog telephone lines. The degree of telephone interference can be expressed in terms of the Telephone Interference…
