PA-9Plus
Portable Power Analyzer
DESCRIPTION
The PA-9Plus has been introduced based on the successful
PA-9 and has enhanced standard key features including a
faster Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to support future
evolving features and capabilities, a full 12 MB of internal,
nonvolatile memory and incorporated auxiliary power
input capabilities.
To address worldwide applications, the product is CE
marked and adheres to applicable European standards
(EN50160, IEC61000 series, IEEE1159, IEEE519).
The optional removable memory capabilities allows
internal recorded data to be copied directly to an external
standard compact flash card using the same technology
available with most of today’s digital cameras. This means
that without a computer on site, data can be copied,
manually or unattended, from the instrument to external
memory cards, increasing the effective instrument memory
storage to the size of the memory card used, and will
program new configuration setups in the same, simple
manner.
The standard Megger Metrosoft® software is now included
at no cost with every PA-9Plus purchased.
The PA-9Plus records power quality and power flow
information simultaneously. The recorded information can
be viewed via the built-in graphics display, downloaded to
a PC via serial interface or optional modem, or transferred
to a PC via the optional removable Flash Memory Module.
The PA-9Plus offers several options on how to manage the
memory when it is full:
■
Designed to comply with all applicable IEC,
IEEE, EN Standards and CE marking
■
On-site analysis and data retrieval without
a computer
■
Intelligent Download — select only the data
required
■
Trends Harmonics, THD & TDD and provides
real-time graphical display of individual
harmonic power
■
Includes Metrosoft® software
■
Remote communications & alarm
capabilities
■
Stop When Full – recording stops when memory is full.
All recorded data is saved and can be analyzed by
recorded interval.
■
Wraparound or “Moving Window” – when memory is
full, the power analyzer writes over the oldest data. This
first-in, first-out routine guarantees that the most recent
data is always provided.
■
Transfer to External Memory Card automatically,
then continue recording up to the size of the power
analyzer’s external flash memory card. These cards are
available in 64 MB and 128 MB sizes.
Megger offers a full line of internally powered (no
batteries required) flexible and clamp-on current probes
from 20 A to 6000 A for use with the entire PA-9 Series. If
you would prefer to use your own probes, simply use the
Megger adapters (available in 1 A and 5 A).
Power Quality
■ The PA-9Plus has a sample rate of 256 samples/cycle
per channel and harmonic analysis through the 63rd
harmonic.
■
Long-term (days/weeks) recording of voltage/current
RMS values with a response time as fast as 1 cycle.
■
Waveform capture with event (sag, swell, THD, subcycle down to 65 microsec), time, or harmonic trending
triggers. Captures pre-fault and post-fault waveforms.
■
Reports out-of-limits events.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
■ Maintenance-free design provides significant time
savings with each installation. With the capability of
preprogramming up to 64 setups in advance, the
PA-9Plus is always ready. Just set up the recorder from
the computer and it is ready to use. Setups may also be
imported via the removable memory option.
*RMS as well as 1 cycle minimum and maximum value
■
The PA-9Plus is typically self-powered from the voltage
on the first input channel (90-600 V ac at 50/60 Hz,
100-600 V dc). This means that it can be used virtually
anywhere since a 120 V ac power source is not
required. The auxiliary power Input feature allows an
alternative to self-power from a 10th, non-recording
input source, effectively eliminating the small burden
required to power the PA-9Plus. This feature also
negates any turn-on delays associated with some
monitoring applications such as high-speed motor start
studies.
■
A large backlit liquid crystal graphic display confirms
setup information and real-time status, phasors,
frequency, harmonics, harmonic power, voltage, current,
per phase and total power/energy data, and
minimums/maximums by phase. From data already
recorded, charts of trended voltages, currents, waveform
graphs, and reports of historical out-of-limits information
by event type can be viewed.
■
The standard Metrosoft® software is now included at no
cost with every PA-9Plus purchased.
**Bidirectional measurement capability
Versatile Data Recording Modes
For ultimate flexibility, the user determines how data is
recorded:
■
Continuous Recording – the PA-9Plus records all
selected parameters (i.e. minimum, average and
maximum values of voltage/ current, power parameters,
etc.) with date and time stamp for each storage interval.
■
Exceedance only Recording – the PA-9Plus records
abnormal events based on user selected limits. This
technique saves memory and allows longer recording
times.
APPLICATIONS
Using experience gained from supplying thousands of
solid state recorders to over 600 utilities, Megger designed
the PA-9Plus to be the most versatile instrument available

Quick Recorder Setup
With Metrosoft, the PA-9Plus can be set up for different
test conditions in a matter of seconds. By simply filling in
a form, the operator chooses which phases to record, the
corresponding out-of-limit values, which statistics to save
(minimum, RMS, and/or maximum), etc. For added
convenience, the software automatically computes the
maximum recording time based on the selections made,
or it will compute the best RMS interval based on the
required recording time entered. Once the power analyzer
is set up for a test, it will retain this information until it is
changed. Also, the setup files may be saved on a disk for
reuse. Several example setups are included.
Harmonic Analysis
The PA-9Plus records data for harmonic analysis and AVO
Metrosoft provides the following on that data:
■
Charts of actual waveforms analyzed
■
Bar Chart of harmonic magnitude for the selected
waveform cycle
■
Harmonic Analysis Report for the selected waveform
cycle
■
Harmonic Trending – THD, TDD, and individual
harmonics up to the 63rd harmonic
Complete Reports
Metrosoft provides comprehensive reports of the recorded
data which can be viewed, printed, or exported to popular
word processing or spreadsheet programs.
■
Summary and Setup Report lists the instrument setup
information, overall data summaries, and forecasts
projections of future power and energy needs.
■
Tabular Report: Power – includes “all” power and
energy data recorded for each phase and total, as well
as voltage and current imbalance.
■
Weekly Energy Report – a powerful, totaled summary
and analysis of any power/energy parameter over every
hour of every day for a week.
■
Tabular Report: Voltage and Current includes all
trended true RMS minimums, maximums, and averages
throughout the test.
■
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Summary Report
includes the THD for each input as a percentage of
fundamental for the first cycle of each waveform capture
snap shot.
■
Out of Limits Report details the specifics of every
measured input during an event, as well as the exacting
event type and duration.
Detailed Charts
Metrosoft allows you to graph and overlay any or all
recorded parameters on a single chart which dramatically
reduces the time for problem analysis and identification.
An important feature allows you to zoom in/zoom out of
particular windows, as well as to copy data directly from
the chart to a third-party spreadsheet. The scan-line feature
provides exacting data and timing information at any
particular point in the chart, thus removing all guesswork
and approximation in the investigation. In addition, you
can graphically view vector information and relationships
for any demand interval, as well as modify the look of the
chart axis and title information. All charts and graphs can
be printed directly to your local or network printer, and
copied and pasted to third-party applications.
