The Dranetz HDPQ Xplorer Plus is a portable 8-channel power quality, demand, and energy analyzer with 1 µs transient capture and advanced AnswerModules—ideal for the most demanding power quality monitoring applications.
The HDPQ Xplorer Plus is the top-of-the-line model in the HDPQ Plus series—it combines all the features of the Visa Plus and Guide Plus, supplemented by high-resolution transient capture (1 µs), additional transient triggers (4), AnswerModules (sag directivity, PFC capacitor, motor), and a large pre/post-trigger buffer (10,000 cycles). This makes it perfectly suited for demanding power quality analyses where even short-term events must be recorded with millisecond precision.
Possible Applications
- Power Quality Surveys & Diagnostics in Medium- and Low-Voltage Networks
- Fault and Inrush Current Recording (e.g., Motor/Transformer Inrush)
- Energy and Load Management, Data Logging, Load Balancing
- Harmonic analysis according to IEEE 519
- Flicker and EN 50160 compliance testing
- Capacitor/PFC tests, motor diagnostics via AnswerModules
- High-speed transient detection—no event is missed
