400 Hz systems are common in aircraft and ground-based aviation equipment. They demand instruments that truly measure at 400 Hz. Here’s how the Dranetz HDPQ Xplorer 400 helps teams troubleshoot, verify performance, and cut downtime across flight lines, gates, and onboard systems.
As solar PV installations expand, performance expectations and ROI are understandably front and center. But there’s one step that often gets skipped, and it’s one that can cost you down the line: evaluating power quality (PQ). This Application Note explains why PQ assessments are critical before and after solar installation commissioning. It highlights the importance […]
If you’ve ever connected two different power quality meters to the same circuit and gotten different results, you’re not alone. It’s an age-old issue in power quality monitoring. And when it happens, the obvious question is: which reading should you trust? That’s where power quality standards come in. But knowing which ones apply, especially in […]
If your power monitoring system is capturing more events than you can make sense of, incorrect settings might be to blame. Dranetz waveshape triggers are a powerful tool to detect step load changes, negative transients, harmonics, and other intermittent fast changes in voltage or current that can affect your power system. Waveshape triggers continually look […]
