CHAUVIN ARNOUX PEL100 Power and Energy Logger
INTRODUCTION
Today, electric motors are the most numerous receivers in industry and tertiary installations, just behind lighting systems. Their function of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy makes them particularly important economically, so no installation or machine designer, installer or operator can ignore them. In the context of its Labcom Ionesco laboratory, Chauvin Arnoux has been working to develop an analytical and diagnostic environment integrated into its network analyzers to monitor electrical drives. Thanks to this joint work based on a physical and statistical model, Chauvin Arnoux has developed software sensors capable of providing all the electrical parameters. With the PEL 104, in addition to power and energy measurements based on voltage and current measurements, you can obtain comprehensive instantaneous data such as the motor’s rotation speed, efficiency, and torque.
software sensor
The software sensor developed by Chauvin Arnoux includes a database containing
the profiles of several hundred motors. By entering the information indicated
on the motor’s nameplate, the technician performing electrical measurements on
the motor will obtain the specifications of the motor in real time, without
setting up any specific sensors.
- The rotation speed of the motor is equal to the synchronous speed minus the slippage. The synchronous speed is equal to the frequency divided by the number of pole pairs.
- The efficiency of an electric motor corresponds to the speed measured directly at the end of the shaft, after the slippage. It can be determined by calculating the ratio of the useful energy divided by the energy absorbed.
- The motor torque is a rotation moment (expressed in Nm) applied to a shaft and owes its name to how the action is obtained using two equal, opposite forces. A high torque provides high power.
Software sensor specifications
- Power up to 750 kW
- Speed up to 3,600 RPM
- Torque up to 10,000 N.m
Users can view the results on their ANDROID device. The application is multilingual.
