Dranetz Instruments Revenue Accurate vs. Revenue Certified/Grade
www.dranetz.com
Most Dranetz Power Quality products can also compute and measure common energy parameters, such as W, VA, VAR, PF, Demand, Energy, and more. The ability to measure energy in addition to PQ opens the doors to many more applications, including energy only applications that can include electrical consumption.
When measuring electrical consumption for billing, revenue, meter verification, reference, or other purposes, high accuracy is often required. When the metered data is to be used for billing purposes, a revenue certified/grade meter may be required by code or law. When a revenue certified meter is not required, a revenue accurate meter may meet the needs of the application. Such a meter has similar accuracies as a revenue certified meter, but without the laboratory testing and the certification itself.
This White Paper summarizes the most common standards used for revenue certified energy metering and how the accuracies and capabilities of current Dranetz products compare to these standards.

Daniel Sabin Named IEEE Fellow
www.dranetz.com
Piscataway, New Jersey, USA, January 12, 2016: Daniel Sabin, Principal Engineer and Software Architect of Electrotek Concepts in Beverly, Massachusetts, USA, has been named an IEEE Fellow. He is being recognized for leadership in power quality database management and analysis software. Dan designed and developed database schemas and software libraries for PQView, a software system capable of storing billions of measurements from power quality monitors, smart meters and other devices in a single relational database.
Dan Sabin developed the first software module to combine measurements from power quality monitors & digital relays, distribution circuit models, and geographic information system (GIS) to provide automatic fault location based on reactance calculations. Sabin is currently the Vice Chair of the IEEE Transmission & Distribution Committee. Dan also chairs the IEEE Working Group on Power Quality Data Interchange Format.
The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a person with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. The total number selected in any one year cannot exceed one-tenth of one- percent of the total voting membership. IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
The IEEE is the world’s leading professional association for advancing technology for humanity. Through its 400,000 members in 160 countries, the IEEE is a leading authority on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power, and consumer electronics.

Dranetz LPC-HDPQ
Dranetz is pleased to announce the release of the Lockable Portable Case (LPC) for the Dranetz HDPQ family of instruments.
The Lockable Portable Case (LPC-HDPQ) is an IP 65 rated weather resistant enclosure for the DranetzHDPQ Visa, Guide, Xplorer and Xplorer 400 instruments. The Dranetz HDPQ instrument (not included) is secured inside of the LPC enclosure by using the keyhole mounting bracket that is included as a standard Dranetz HDPQ accessory.
External weather resistant connectors are located on the side of the LPC for all measurement, communications and instrument power connections. Internal cabling is included (standard) that connects the instrument to the external connector panel - No modifications to the Dranetz HDPQ are required, and the instrument can be easily installed and removed from the LPC.
The standard Dranetz HDPQ voltage measurement cables are used for all voltage connections and the LPC includes (4) current probe adapter cables that adapt the weather resistant current connectors for use with standard Dranetz current probes. A weather resistant power cord is also included. Additional cables are optionally available for communications, CT cable extensions, and more.

PQView - Finding Faults and Getting Data
What is PQView?
PQView is a multi-component software system developed by our sister company, Electrotek Concepts, for building and analyzing databases of power quality and energy measurements. Its components build measurement databases, write summary reports, compute power quality indices, view waveforms and RMS samples, as well as trend steady-state quantities. These analyses, and more, are available via workstations and web browsers. Power providers, industrial power consumers, consulting companies, and university researchers throughout the world widely recognize PQView for its capabilities and flexibility.PQView Features:
- Integrate COMTRADE, PQDIF & Over 50 Different Data Systems
- Import measurements from permanent monitors such as a Dranetz DataNode®, InfoNode®, or PQNode®, and portable monitors such as a Dranetz HDPQ®, Power Xplorer®, or PowerGuide®
- Manage Billions of Measurements in a Single Database
- Locate Faults Automatically Using Waveforms, Circuit Models, and GIS
- Create EN 50160 and Custom Compliance Reports
What Can PQView Do for Me?
Build databases with billions of measurements from thousands of monitoring points, read different types of meters, including power quality monitors, voltage recorders, in-plant monitors, digital fault recorders, store and analyze information with the measurements about the cause and source of triggered events. Quickly extract meaningful information from a one megabyte, or one terabyte database, and evaluate the impact of events to both a power provider and a power user.

Encore Series - Measure More Than Power Quality!
Dranetz Encore Series Power Quality, Demand, and Energy monitoring system can also monitor temperature, humidity (above graphic), pressure, flow, alarms, and other environmental and physical parameters.
Encore Series Software (ESS) is the heart of the Encore Series System. ESS can not only collect and record data from Dranetz instrumentation, but by using the SW MODBUS driver (optional), ESS can read virtually any 3rd party device with a Modbus interface.
Such devices can be Data Acquisition (DAQ) modules that monitor transducers/sensors in your facility. These DAQ devices are treated just like the PQ, Demand, and Energy DataNodes sold by Dranetz. ESS will read their data, and store it in the ESS database for trending and triggering alongside the Dranetz DataNodes. The DAQ data can come from virtually any transducer or sensor with an industry standard voltage or current output that is compatible with 3rd party DAQ modules.
