Unlocking True Power Quality: High-Speed Transient Capture with Revolution and Vision Recorders
This white paper explores the critical role of high-speed transient capture in accurately detecting and analyzing high-voltage, short-duration events on power systems. By leveraging 1 MHz voltage sampling and wide input ranges, the Revolution and Vision recorders capture events missed by conventional waveform and RMS monitoring, ensuring that lightning strikes, switching operations, and high-frequency resonances are fully characterized. The paper details optimal threshold settings, cross-triggering techniques, and practical deployment strategies to maximize event detection and diagnostic value.
Key topics include:
- Limitations of Traditional Waveform and RMS Monitoring
- Revolution and Vision Recorder Capabilities
- Configuring Transient Capture: Thresholds and Cross-Triggering
- Case Study: Standard Test Pulse Analysis
- Best Practices for Recorder Placement
- Conclusion: Ensuring Accurate Power Quality Event Detection
Why utilities should care:
High-speed transient capture enables precise identification of damaging voltage events that traditional monitoring overlooks, supporting targeted mitigation, equipment protection, and improved system reliability. Accurate detection of these rare but impactful events is vital for operational excellence.
