Description

The SATEC PM180 is a high-performance analyzer with versatile applications. Its exceptional performance, combined with the flexible design of expansion cards and installation options (including DIN rail, 4” round, or 92x92mm cutout), allows it to replace multiple devices, resulting in cost savings, space efficiency, and reduced complexity.

High Performance Power Quality Analyzer (PQA) & Recorder

The PM180 is the most advanced power quality analyzer and recorder on the market. It is designed to fully comply with the most demanding industry standard, IEC 61000-4-30 Class A (Edition 3).

It provides power quality reports and statistics according to EN50160, complimented by comprehensive power quality event/data log with waveforms available for detailed Power Quality event analysis. Redundant power supply allows full readiness for any power quality event, including major dips and interruptions.

The individual harmonics and inter-harmonics are analyzed according to IEC 61000-4-7. The instrument also supports directional power harmonics analysis. Flicker is measured and analyzed according to IEC 61000-4-15.

Industrial & Substation Automation Controller with IEC 61850 Protocol

SATEC PM180 is a cost effective solution for electrical substation automation. It can be used either as a bay controller or as a Power Meter with IEC 61850 support.

  • PM180 as a Bay Controller Unit (BCU) provides fully automated control of substation switching devices. After the switches are configured in the device, typically no additional logic is required for controller operation, except for interlocking logic. Bay control solutions are customized via control logic and a variety of digital I/O and analog measurements.
  • PM180 as Power Meter provides ALL the information required for substation automation. The PM180 extends the life expectancy of electromechanical relays by providing information lacking in electromechanical devices without interfering in the protection scheme.

Sequence of Events (SoE)

SATEC PM180 Sequence of Events (SoE) Recorder designed for an electrical utility substation or industrial environment to record contact openings and closings of field devices, such as electromechanical and microprocessor controlled relays. It includes up to three 16 digital input modules, with up to a total of 48 digital inputs (wet or dry type) with a 1 mSec time resolution between events.

The Sequence of Events (SoE) recorder can log four types of events: digital input events, relay output events, fault events and setpoint events.

Applications

Power Quality Class A ed.3 Substation Automation Fault Recorder Phasor Measurement Unit / Wide Area Monitoring System Industrial Monitoring Renewable Energy SCADA-ready

Digital Fault Recording (DFR)

SATEC PM180 includes true Digital Fault Recording and Disturbance Recording. The standard device includes four current channels for up to 20xIn (100A @ In=5A) of fault currents. Adding the DFR module allows for separated connection of measurement CTs and protection CTs of up to 40xIn (200A).

Three AC voltage channels and one AC/DC measurement input channels are also included. Multiple PM180 devices can cross trigger for up to 20 cycles of pre-fault information for distributed recording.

Fault information can be exported to PQDIF/COMTRADE format via PAS software. The fault recorder provides 4 measured and recorded currents (including measured neutral current). The event log is complemented by waveform recording.

Revenue Grade Check Meter

Designed for Revenue Grade metering, the PM180 provides a high accuracy energy measurement that can be used to check the utility meter, as well as adding power quality and control functions. For high performance revenue metering, the PM180 includes:

  • Exceeding Revenue 0.2S Class Accuracy (IEC 62053-22)
  • Built-in Time Of Use (TOU) with a 10 year calendar, 16 types of days and up to 8 tariff changes per day for each daily profile

The precise measurement class of accuracy ensures that the energy readings are better than the utility meter's readings, which makes it trusty when there is a discrepancy between the utility and the PM180 reading.

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)

The PM180 Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) module provides synchrophasor and frequency measurements compliant with the IEEE C37.118.1 P performance class, as well as real-time cyclic exchange of synchronized phasor data with the substation phasor data concentrator (PDC) based on the IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Value (SV) service.

Motors and Large Load Monitoring

Electrical motors and other large loads are an important part of the electrical equipment and are dominant in the overall consumption. As a result, they significantly affect the energy efficiency and site reliability. Monitoring main motors includes observing their energy consumption, tracking their health and examining their efficiency.
