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…
CBEMA and ITIC Curves
The CBEMA and ITIC curves are both used to visibly represent voltage events. The terms and associated curves are used somewhat interchangeably even though there are subtle differences between the…
Batch Converting XSF Data Files
ProVision, PMI's Power Quality Analysis PC software, has undergone several overhauls and upgrades over the past several years. During this time, a number of different file formats and file types…
Voltage and Current Out of Limits Reports
This white paper covers Out of Limits Reports, their main benefits, and how and when to use them. Out of Limits Reports offer a quick way to gauge power quality…
Email Alerts with Canvass
Canvass is a feature-rich data analysis web application and database developed by Power Monitors, Inc. to provide a complete RMS voltage picture to users via any device equipped with an…
Understanding IEEE Flicker, IFL, Pst, Plt
This white paper covers and explains three of IEEE's most common Flicker definitions: IFL, Pst and Plt. The GE Flicker Curve and how other measurements standards compare to the GE…
Measuring Frequency with PMI Recorders
Line frequency is the most tightly controlled parameter in the electrical distribution system. Since almost all generation in a region is connected essentially in parallel, the frequency is inherently synchronized…
New Additions to the Canvass Interface
Power Monitors, Inc. Canvass, our web based electrical data analysis software, has recently been upgraded with many new features. New features include: A new menu window, a Canvass message inbox,…
Monitoring a 2½ Element Wye
A 2½ Element WYE Configuration uses 3 current phases and 2 voltage phases to calculate what is on the third voltage phase in order to measure the total power on…
NMS Security
NMS (or Network Management Software) is an application designed and developed by PMI for managing and configuring Boomerang voltage monitors. This white paper focuses on the different layers of security…
