To comprehensively take charge of energy costs and maintenance problems in today`s increasingly non-linear and harmonics-prone environments, one needs portable analysers that are designed with new generation measurement technology to accurately measure even in the presence of harmonics. The krykard range of portable load managers [alm 8, alm 10 alm 30/32] meets this need aptly. The alm 30 is perfect for 3-phase unbalanced loads, whereas the alm 10 is ideal for single phase or balanced 3-phase loads. The wide range of ct`s enable measurements from small cables to large bus bars, thereby covering the entire factory. Graphical full colour representations of all measured data [v, i, pf, energy, power, harmonics up to 50th], as well as up to 4mb memory make them ideal tools for specific energy studies and mintenance trouble-shooting. The online trending feature enables effective analysis on the field for quick and decisive responses for onsite problems. Alarms can be programmed to detect and store abnormal variations as quick as 10ms. The long battery backup also ensures that longer field studies can be carried out, thereby minimising the dependence on a laptop. All the recorded data, pictures and waveforms can then be swiftly downloaded onto a computer using the data viewer software for in-depth analysis and reporting. With the krykard range of portable analysers, the user is truly empowered for effective energy management.
