EPM 9900P Advanced Power Quality Meter

High Performance Power Quality and Transient Meter for Utility or Industrial Applications
Providing high performance power quality analysis functions, the EPM 9900P
delivers high accuracy power quality monitoring and transient waveform
capture, and reporting data in compliance with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A and
EN 50160 international standards. This provides power system managers
with a deep understanding of each circuits’ power usage and reliability.

With up to 4GB of data logging, including 50 MHz transient capture, the EPM
9900P ensures that essential power quality data and events are captured,
stored, and time synchronized allowing for comprehensive analysis of
events. The EPM 9900P also supports a multitude of communications
protocols such as Modbus, DNP3 and 61850 making it easy to integrate
and retrieve data into a SCADA or data analysis system. The EPM 9900P is a
clear choice for applications where critical revenue accurate metering is an

Air, Gas, etc.)

Test Mode and Energy Presets

The EPM 9900P meter offers a Test Mode for testing watt-hour and VAR-hour
meter accuracy without affecting the stored readings. Using Test Mode, users
can verify the meter’s readings over the lifespan of an installed meter without
having to reset energy or disturb the load profiling and demand recording.

The Energy Preset feature allows a user to program the energy accumulator Configure customized TOU tariff schedules
