Power Xpert Software

Access the Meter through the Internet/Ethernet via embedded Web server

Power Xpert 4000/6000/8000 Meter offers Eaton customers a new level of accessibility to the critical information required to manage the electrical distribution system. The meter's embedded Web server includes real time circuit information in both numeric and graphical visual formats to help monitor circuit parameters such as current loading, voltage and power levels, power factor.

The Web server also provides the energy and demand readings required to help manage the cost of energy. Readings include KWh, KVARh, delivered and received and KVAh with time of use and separate status input controlled energy accumulation to account for energy during special times such as rate alert periods or standby generator times of operation. The Power Xpert 4000/6000/8000 Meter Web server also includes critical information regarding Power Quality such as harmonic distortion, flicker, crest factor, k-factor and more.

Historical trend plot
The Power Xpert 4000/6000/8000 Meter embedded Web server supports graphical trend charts of key circuit measurements such as current, voltage, power and energy. The trend chart supports a zoom feature that allows the user to view data over a short period of 18 hours or a longer period of 48 months. The trend chart has a horizontal slider bar control to manage scrolling forward and backward through the data. Trend charts of basic readings include minimum, maximum and average readings. Trend charts of energy data also display demand values.

Harmonic spectrum plot
The harmonic spectral plot displays both harmonics and interharmonics up to the 85th order. A detailed table also includes individual magnitudes and angles of current and voltage harmonics as well as a harmonic power calculation at each frequency. Even, Odd, Interharmonic, and total THD are displayed for diagnostic purposes.

Disturbance recording sag/swell recording
60 cycles of waveform are recorded at 256 samples per cycle including 30 cycles of pre and post event data. The Power Xpert 4000/6000/8000 Meter embedded Web server supports viewing of triggered waveforms one channel at a time including the ability to zoom and to scroll horizontally using a slider bar. Waveforms are stored in Meter’s non-volatile flash memory using an industry standard Comtrade format. Waveforms can be automatically sent out by email following an event, or can be retrieved from an ftp directory structure in Meter’s memory.
