Dranetz-BMI Power Quality Monitoring
Dranetz-BMI Power Quality Monitoring
(OP)
Hi all,
I am an entry level electrical working on a project to install a high level power quality monitoring system for a steam/chilled water plant which has very critical loads and has been experiencing many unexplained outages.
We are looking to install the Encore Dranetz-BMI power quality system on our (4) incoming feeders as well as on our bus which is connected to many of our 4160V motors.
I was wondering if anyone could give their opinion on this system in terms of its capability for retrieving data, ease of interpreting data, and flexibility for growth.
FYI: We are interested in capturing harmonics, flicker, sags, swells, and unbalanced loading (unbalanced currents, and voltages)
Any tips or feedback on this system or others, or general information is greatly appreciated

I find the Dranetz to be an excellent instrument, but I do not leave it connected continuously, only for a week or so for fault finding.
I suggest you contact Ian Murdock, who is their agent in this country for a demonstration of the platforms and remote devices if you want a permanent thing. His phone number is 0044 1702293040
