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,

‘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

‘computers, not just from one master station. The
POWERLOGIC system is easily connected to

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-

‘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)

The POWERLOGIC Series 200 Circuit Monitor
basically redefines the role of electrical meters. I's

‘There are even versions with 256K of additional

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

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,
