Chauvin Arnoux PEL 105 Power and Energy Logger

Chauvin Arnoux PEL 105 Power and Energy Logger

The PEL 105 logger is particularly simple to use with an all-terrain IP67 casing capable of withstanding shocks, UV rays and extreme temperatures.

It is ideal for outdoor installation directly on an electricity pole. With its 1,000 V CAT IV safety rating, it can be used for measurements on all LV networks, including measurements of the neutral-earth voltage and the neutral current. This stand-alone instrument is equipped with a selfpowering system via its voltage inputs up to 1,000 V. The PEL 105 offers 5 voltage inputs and 4 current inputs. Compatible with a large number of current sensors to make it easier to use, it also recognizes the sensors automatically.

The PEL 105 can be used to measure, record and analyse the power values (W, var, VA) and energy values (kWh, kvarh, kVAh). At the same time, they record the PF and the DPF. Recording is continuous with a sampling interval of 200 ms.

Description 

The PEL 105 is a DC, single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase (wye and D) power and energy logger in a rugged sealed housing.

The PEL has all power/energy recording functions needed for most of the world's 50Hz, 60Hz, 400Hz, and DC distribution networks, with many connection possibilities to suit different installations. It is designed to operate in 1,000V CAT IV environments, both indoors and out.

The PEL has a battery with which to continue to operate if there is a power outage. The battery is recharged during the measurements.

The instrument has the following functions:

• Direct measurements of voltages up to 1,000V CAT IV.
• Direct measurements of currents from 50mA to 10,000A with A196 current sensors.
• Measurements of the neutral current on the 4th current terminal.
• Measurements of the voltage between earth and neutral on the 5th voltage terminal.
• Measurements of active power (W), reactive power (var), and apparent power (VA).
• Measurements of the fundamental, unbalance, and harmonic active powers.
• Measurement of current and voltage unbalances by the IEEE 1459 method.
• Measurements of active energy at source and load (Wh), 4-quadrant reactive energy (varh), and apparent energy (VAh).
• Power factor (PF), cos  and tan Φ.
• Crest factor.
• Total harmonic distortion (THD) of voltages and currents.
• Voltage and current harmonics up to the 50th at 50/60Hz.
• Frequency measurements.
• Simultaneous RMS and DC measurements on each phase.
• LCD display unit with blue backlighting (simultaneous display of 4 quantities).
• Storage of measured and calculated values on SD or SDHC card.
• Automatic recognition of the various types of current sensor.
• Configuration of the transformation ratios for the current and voltage inputs.
• Management of 17 types of connection or power distribution networks.
• USB, LAN (Ethernet), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth communication.
• PEL Transfer software for data recovery, configuration, and real-time communication with a PC.
