IEC 61850 Devices

Q100 Device

You can integrate the following PowerQuality (PQ) device. For more information, refer to the SICAM Q100.

The SICAM Q100 multifunctional measuring device is used for acquisition, visualization, evaluation and transmission of electrical measured variables such as alternating current, alternating voltage, frequency, power, PowerQuality, harmonics etc.

The acquisition, processing and accuracy of measured variables and events are performed according to the IEC 61850 PowerQuality measurement standard. The measured variables can be output to a PC or system control via communication interfaces or shown on a display. In addition to the monitoring function, the SICAM Q100 all-in-one device provides a combined recording and evaluating function: measured values can be recorded in parameterizable time intervals with various recorders such as PowerQuality and fault recorders. Longtime data and events are evaluated directly in the device and displayed as a report according to the PowerQuality standards (e.g., EN50160).

Quality is generally regarded as an important aspect of any power supply. Insufficient power supply quality has a negative impact on operational processes and operational safety of consumers connected to the network and can entail serious consequences, ultimately resulting in increased costs for the user and supply utility.

The EN50160 PowerQuality standard describes the main voltage characteristics at customer's supply terminals in public low, medium and high-voltage systems. Comprehensive acquisition and documentation of parameters relevant to the supply quality is a necessary step required to identify possible weak points and initiate appropriate measures to eliminate them.

The SICAM Q100 device is used in 1-phase systems, 3-wire systems and 4-wire systems (with neutral conductor).

Q200 Device

You can integrate the following PowerQuality (PQ) device. For more information, refer to the SICAM Q200.

SICAM Q200 is a network analyzer for high-definition acquisition and assessment of the PowerQuality in electrical power supply systems. It offers algorithms and functions for energy management applications. The device supports continuous acquisition and analysis of all relevant parameters. These results help to identify and implement quality programs to ensure the supply quality.

The use of SICAM Q200 increases the service life of the equipment while at the same time reducing downtimes. SICAM Q200 is a PowerQuality device acc. to IEC 61850 and acquires, visualizes, analyzes and transmits alternating current characteristics such as current, voltage, frequency, performance, harmonic, etc. The measured variables can be provided to a PC, an energy automation/SCADA system and/or shown on a display using communication interfaces. In addition, the SICAM Q200 provides a combined recording and analysis function for measured values directly in the device. Long-term data and events can be transferred to SICAM PQS / PowerQuality Analyzer System via IEC 61850, and flexible analyses and reports (e.g. EN50160) can be generated.

SICAM Q200 is used in 1-phase systems, 3-wire systems and 4-wire systems (with neutral conductor).
