The POWERLOGIC’ system: Think of it as the power to do a better job. lEyou knew where and how to cut peak demand power usage, ‘you could lower your electric bills and your company’s cost of product. But how can you, when you have no idea how your ‘demand patterns relate to production? Pethaps you'd lke to stretch this years budget by deferring the purchase of anew substation, but you're not sure you have enough capacity to accommodate the vital new process equipment you need to install Take a chance and the whole line could go down—et who knows what cost in downtime. only you knew where and how much excess capacity you have Ie doesn't take long to see how, with the right kind of information about your electrical power system, you could give your operation a real edge. ‘The question is: How to ge it? ‘The answer is the POWERLOGIC ‘power monitoring and control system from Square D. The POWERLOGIC system lets you interact with your electrical system. gives you the information you need to make a positive difference for your company. I can tell you ‘exactly how much excess capacity you have ‘and how to access it. It allows you to analyze your electrical demand in minute detail, hheping you spot cost-cutting opportunities. Jtwars you of impending problems, giving you time to avoid them (and the downtime that goes with thern.Itcan even measure “We nana short earning the level of harmonics in your plant, letting you spot and correct «tve—aagsem ive can use troublesome trends before they cause equipment failures. cranny Inshort, the POWERLOGIC system puts you in control. the easy-touse POWERLOGK I gives you the power of information, The kind of information that sytem save tine. lols oft. can help you manage electrical power systems more effectively and economically than ever before. ‘Neary half of cour electri bil is ddemand charge.” ‘The POWERLOGI system provides the formation youneed to controlutly| ‘costs and, paps more Important, downtiecst. ‘The idea behind the POWERLOGIC system. ‘The POWERLOGIC system was developed for industrial, institutional, commercial and utility applications, both large and small, to help manage their total electrical system investment: energy costs, the costs of operation and maintenance, the cost ofthe power equipment ise. How? By giving engineers accurate and mean- ingiul information about circuit loading and equip- ment status. By helping them fully uderstand their energy usage pattems, kilowatt demand levels and power factor trends. And by providing many of the tools for working with all the information ‘The key components are the family of POWERLOGIC Circuit Monitors and the series of POWERLOGIC software applications, which runs on Microsoft® Windows” The system is compatible .. with an arvay of other components, including transformer temperature monitors, motor protection relays, circuit breaker trip , Programmable logic controllers, POWERLINK® lighting panetboards and ‘more. The result is a power monitoring and control system that allows seamless integration into your facility’ existing automation and information systems. What itcan do. ‘The POWERLOGIC system provides more sophisticated monitoring capabilites than any other system of its kind. Capabilities that are not merely Hinited to traditional metered values, but also include a state-of-the-art waveform capture {feature (patent pending), which allows you to perform power quality analysis and to diagnose ‘and prevent problems cue to harmonics. ‘That's just the beginning. The system integrates automatic controls, so that it can manage the electrical power distribution system while allowing for user interaction, adjustments and alarms. ‘Another feature that sets the POWERLOGIC system apart is its superior communications capability, Operating al speeds of upto 500K bau, the system offers you access from multiple personal “Weve got harmonic problems can PONERLOGIC help?” ‘Toe POWERLOGE eystem wi 2-eyce wave frm capably, ‘canbe youspotand stop harmon trouble beloreit sions ‘computers, not just from one master station. The POWERLOGIC system is easily connected to “other networks; it provides flexibility to integrate the system into your overall plans. And, in addition toall the sophistication, power and flexibility, the POWERLOGIC system is very afordable and very easy to use. ‘Square D can offer standard application soft- ‘ware with the POWERLOGIC system to provide offthe-shelf functionality. We can even provide ‘tumkey solutions, if that’s what you nee, complete with systems engineering support, power system studies and technical services, He VY Wn ‘The POWERLOGIC system at work. To give you a clearer idea of just what the POWERLOGIC system can do for your operation, consider the following example. Let’ say you're the plant engineer at a large industrial fatty. You get a call rom the power ‘company asking you to curtail loading within the ‘next 30 minutes, in order to meet your interruptible rate agreement. You do it, right at your desk, with afew commands from your personal computer. ‘Next, youneed to determine why the variable frequency drives on one production line are tripping. You suspect harmonics, bt to check you need to capture, store and analyze actual current ‘and voltage waveforms. Again, you doit from the personal computer on your desk. “Meanie, people from accounting need to do some analyses to determine energy cost per product ‘on each assembly line. Using personal computers, they easily access the information needed and download it toa spreadsheet. At the same time, from another personal computer, someone on your staff is viewing the switchgear elevation drawing and one-line diagram and receives an alarm from a circuit approaching an overload condition. Because maintenance gets the alarm so quickly, i's possible to discover the cause—a faulty motor winding—fast. And that ‘means preventing major downtime) ‘This isn't some futuristic vision of power ‘monitoring and control t's just some of what the POWERLOGIC system can do right now.

The POWERLOGIC Circuit Monitor. The most powerful system starts with the most powerful monitor. The POWERLOGIC Series 200 Circuit Monitor basically redefines the role of electrical meters. I's three-phase, multi-function instrument that pro- vides more power system information than any conventional meter. But the unit is about the size of an 8 1/2"x 11 pieee of paper and only 3 deep. 1 can do the work of 100, ‘The POWERLOGIC Cireuit Monitor instls ona S-phase circuit ikea conventional watthour meter, butt delivers far more information. In fac, quipped with digital display, the cireut monitor can replace more than 100 conventional indicating meters. The circuit monitor replaces your esting panel meter and substitutes fr discrete meteringin ‘new power equipment And you can put the adliional metering infor- ‘mation to work, That’s because the POWERLOGIC Ciruit Monitor capabilities go beyond metering It canalso record events and alarms, as well as moni- torand display THD, Kfactor and neutral currents. ‘There are even versions with 256K of additional ‘memory and user programmable logc. By logging all his metered information, the monitor ean help you make smarter power decision. Heres an example. The POWERLOGIC Circuit Monitor can give you readings for demand currents per phase, averaged over ISinute intervals. That averaged reading can help you evaluate circuit loading more accurately than periodic sampling of instantaneous readings. And by spotting an abnormal current reading, you just night prevent an outage Catch the wave. Perhaps the most important feature ofthe cuit ‘monitor ists unique, advanced waveform capture. Unlike any other metering device, the PAWERLOGIC Series 2000 Circuit Monitor can monitor, capture and report a given circuit's waveform data for voltage, allthnee phases of current and ground or neutral coment simutancously.
