In today’s energy-driven world, stable and high-quality power is essential. Whether in industrial plants, commercial facilities, data centers, or utility networks, clean electricity keeps everything running smoothly. But when voltage sags, harmonic distortions, or transient spikes appear, the result can be costly. That is why power monitoring must go beyond tracking consumption. A power quality logger gives you the ability to detect and understand the issues that affect system performance and reliability.
SATEC’s power quality solutions are designed to meet the needs of complex energy systems. Our tools help organizations prevent downtime, manage risks, and keep operations stable by capturing the data needed to take smart, informed action.
What a Power Quality Logger Does
A power quality logger is a device—or a feature within an advanced meter—that continuously records electrical parameters and flags anomalies. It goes far beyond standard meters by capturing high-speed, detailed data about how power is delivered and used.
Key measurements include:
- Voltage and current waveforms
- Frequency fluctuations
- Total harmonic distortion
- Voltage sags and swells
- Power factor changes
- Electrical transients and flicker
This kind of logging creates a long-term record that helps engineers identify patterns and uncover root causes.
Why Power Quality Logging Is Essential
Electrical disturbances are often unpredictable. A motor that trips once a week, a network switch that resets unexpectedly, or lights that flicker in a specific part of the building—these are all signs of hidden power issues.
A power quality logger allows teams to:
- Catch disturbances the moment they happen
- Link issues to specific loads, equipment, or time frames
- Document events for utility disputes or warranty claims
- Plan maintenance based on actual electrical conditions
- Comply with power quality standards and internal policies
With the right logger in place, you shift from trial-and-error troubleshooting to precise, data-backed diagnostics.
SATEC Devices with Built-In Power Quality Logging
SATEC integrates power quality monitoring into several of its metering platforms, offering options for everything from single facilities to large-scale energy networks.
PM180
This Class A certified device offers high-accuracy monitoring, waveform capture, and real-time event logging. It is a top choice for substations, utility grids, and any environment with critical power infrastructure.
EM720
A versatile meter ideal for commercial or industrial sites. It combines advanced measurement, long-term logging, and real-time alerts in one wall-mount design.
BFM-II
This multi-circuit meter logs power quality data across multiple branches simultaneously, making it perfect for data centers, large buildings, or distribution boards with complex loads.
All meters are supported by SATEC’s user-friendly software for data visualization, trend analysis, and report generation.
More Than Monitoring – A Foundation for Prevention
Power quality problems often go unnoticed until they cause real damage. Logging lets you see what is happening behind the scenes, making it possible to act before problems grow. With reliable data at your fingertips, you can protect equipment, maintain productivity, and avoid costly service interruptions.
SATEC’s power quality loggers provide this visibility. From detailed event records to continuous diagnostics, our systems help you manage your electrical infrastructure with greater clarity and confidence.
