Power Quality Meter Location
(OP)
Hi all:
I have 2 questions for a new oil plant electrical system design, about Power Quality Meters:
.- How valuable is to install a permanent Power quality meter in the new plant?
.- Where should this device be installed (Control rooms, main substations??)
I found some tips from the web, but i want experts opinions.
Thanks

I agree with DanDel that you can put them on every main and substation/distribution that you have. I you want to read them all at one central point then most PQ meters on the market now have some sort of communications. Install them on the panels you want to meter and then run comms back to a control room SCADA type system to monitor all.

I agree with the others that primary PQ metering is usually installed on the incoming supply. Downstream circuits would typically be lower spec to reduce cost.
