WinPQ- How it works
1. Data transfer
WinPQ system processes transfer data from the memory of the measuring
devices to the WinPQ server.
2. Data processing
Processing and analysis of device data and possible triggering of (alarm)
messages
3. Alarm management
cyclically or reporting of faults e.g. via e-mail
4. Database
Data is automatically written to the WinPQ database (locally or on remote
database server)
5. Data evaluation, analysis and visualization
directly on the WinPQ server or remotely via WinPQ clients within the
network
6. Data import and export
Automated export to standard formats of all measured variables ➔ CSV,
PQDIF, Comtrade
Import: Comtrade, CSV

Monitoring of AR4105 - connection of a large PV park
PQI-DA smart & PQI-DE Sensor inputs
Amplitude response of the current measurementPQI-DA
smart C40 - Rogowski input

Feature C40 for measuring current using Rogowski coils:

Highly accurate to meet VDE-AR 4105 & 4110 connection guidelines - 2 to 9 kHz. The
measurement accuracy is very linear up to 19 kHz.
PQI-DE - Sensor technology advantages
▪ Very good transmission behavior up to the supraharmonic range.
Also for higher frequency bands in the supraharmonic range (2-20kHz), which must be monitored according to
VDE -AR 4110 (PV / wind farms / industry), the sensor technology offers reliable measurement results! With
many conventional transducers, harmonics above 1.25 kHz are usually transmitted with high errors ➔ see als
Technical report "MESSWANDLER"!

▪ High-precision measurement technology - right from the start!

Plug & Play solution for fast and safe (SELV) commissioning without time-consuming "on-site" calibration and
agreement of the burdens!

▪ Easy installation also for retrofit

In combination with the sensor inputs for current measurement C40 (Rogowski input) and C44 (mini current
clamp input) a quick / easy and cost-efficient retrofit in existing installations is possible - without having to
break circuits!
