PQube 3 Firmware 3.5.0
New! Power & Energy consumption on all 8 channels! Manage your energy costs Class 0.2 revenue grade accuracy Identify critical consuming loads in your facility Improve energy consumption efficiency Proactively identify potential power problems (before they happen!) Identify what causes really affect the quality of your product (and it is not always the power supplied)
New! 4-Quadrant Power and Energy QII QIII QI QIV Apparent energy Active energy - imported and exported Reactive energy - positive and negative True Power factor / Displacement power factor CosPHI All real time meters - Modbus
Power and Energy on all 8 channels! 8 X 1-phase loads 2 X 3-phase loads Recorded file: Daily file CSV format Combination of loads
PQube 3 recording power/energy User defined recording interval: 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 min Parameters recorded: Apparent power Active power Reactive power tpf or DPF Apparent Energy Active energy (net + imported + exported) Reactive energy (net + positive + negative) Recorded file: Daily file CSV format
PQube 3 Configuring loads Voltage phase can be assigned to current channels
PQube 3e Configuring loads
New! more currents: up to 8* Flexible CT s! With PSL FCT-XX-3000 Flexible CT s No power and integrator module needed (Signal integration done in firmware) Declare the PSL Flexible CT s here (*) up to 14 no integrator flexible CT s with PQube 3e
New! More recordings! Waveforms and RMS recordings for up to 4 back to back events!
New! HF impulses now recorded with their position in the waveform Position in the waveform is important to characterize the disturbance source: > Lightning Breaker or contactor switching operation Inductive load switching off Capacitive load switching on.
New! Rapid Voltage changes (RVC) events now recorded with waveform and RMS Voltage drop not a sag! Load current inrush Neutral wire potential rises, due to current flowing through the return neutral wire
New! DST = Automatic Daylight Saving time From now on, no need to your PQube 3 clock does not need to be changed 2x a year! 1) Update your PQube 3 firmware 3.5.0 2) pick up your time zone in the configurator 3) Send the configuration setup.ini to the PQube 3

Improved 2 khz to 150 khz Emissions High resolution spectrum Identify precisely when emissions occur during the day 1 min resolution for both spectrums Separate spectrums for : 2kHz-9kHz - 200Hz resolution 8kHz-150kHz - 2000Hz resolution Average and max values recorded, every minute
EnviroSensor ENV2 Improved accelerometer graphs Auto-scaling of the acceleration recording Mechanical shocks, seismic disturbances
EnviroSensor ENV2 Improved accelerometer graphs User defined vertical scale - trends and vibrations Vibrations - compressor operating all day Vibrations - noise floor
Improvement PSL flexible CT s Highly accurate harmonic frequency response Better than 5% at H50!
Dual AC voltage monitoring (upstream downstream) Monitoring UPS performance For both UPS input and output: > 3 Phase AC input voltage (Utility) Full Class A compliant > 3 phase AC output voltage (Load) Magnitude, harmonics, inter-harm., unbalance, sags/swells But also monitor : > 48 VDC battery voltage > Battery Load current. > Temperature/ humidity
Dual AC voltage monitoring (upstream downstream) NEW! Voltage attenuator module VAT1 Available February 2017! Converts wye/star or delta wired voltages to levels compatible with the PQube3 terminals Connects 3-wire (Delta) or 4-wire (Wye/Star), or single phase voltage system Interfaces directly to the I1,I2,I3 current PQube 3 terminals AC nominal Voltage range : 0V~600VAC (L-N) Overvoltage category CATIV at 300VAC, CATIII at 600VAC
Firmware 3.5.0 : lots of additional improvements! MEASUREMENTS Fundamental voltage amplitude and angle displayed on the Web meter page Auto-detection of the power configuration at 50Hz and 100VAC (e.g. Japan) HF impulses: in single phase mode, the trigger channel can be chosen between L1-N or N-E. Daily, weekly and monthly statistics for THD and frequency added FUNCTIONS: Nightly backups (on USB drive or external micro-sdcards) (option) INTERFACE Peak demand/ peak load current registers can be reset separately from energy accumulators EnviroSensor probes Names (user defined) are displayed in the daily/weekly/monthly trend graphs Company logo (splash.gif) can be seen on the main screen display by pushing on the PSL blue banner Intuitive parameters for the digital input And more.
Firmware 3.5.0 : Deployment note The firmware upgrade will reset to zero your PQube3 energy accumulators. After firmware upgrade: (1) the energy accumulators (kwh, KVAh, kvarh), will be reset to 0. The energy accumulator start dates are also set to the date of firmware upgrade. (2) the first daily trend file after firmware upgrade will contain only a partial day : from the time of the firmware upgrade to the end of the day. The previous part of the day trend measurements are lost. (3) the first weekly and monthly trend files after firmware upgrade will also contain partial measurements: from the time of upgrade to the end of week, or month.
