The occurrence of reactive power (inductive or capacitive) directly translates into expenses incurred by businesses in relation to electricity bills. Reactive power is represented by the parameter tg fi. This parameter should be between 0 and 0.4. If tg fi is not in the specified range, the energy supplier will apply a penalty for excessive reactive power in the utility's power grid.
The presence of reactive power contributes to a number of negative effects:
• the need to install generation and processing equipment with higher power ratings,
• forcing the use of devices with higher rated current and allowable short-circuit current,
• requires the use of larger cross-section cables,
• reduces the capacity of the power supply lines,
• increases active energy drops in transformers, power grids and consumer installations, increases voltage drops in transformers and supply lines.

Currently, the largest supported diameter of the cable on which the transformer can be mounted is about 30 cm. Using this type of transformer we can measure currents in the range from 1600 A to 6000 A.

Yes, a phase angle tracking algorithm φ is implemented using machine learning and will be implemented in IPOE.

The shortest measurement period required is a work week, a weekend and three days of the following week (so a total of 10 days). It is important that the measurement period includes the weekend. However, it is necessary to take into consideration the operation profile of the plant - if it is variable in time, the measurements should also include the time when the plant operates in a different profile.

Reactive power compensation in the power grids consists of the combination of energy loads in such way that the character of the grid meets the requirements for maintaining proper grid parameters. Generally speaking, an unfavorable power factor resulting from a large share of inductive loads can be reduced (compensated) by including capacitive loads in the power grid (or vice versa in the case of a predominance of capacitive loads).

Data are read from the instrument every second.

Yes, IPOE allows integration with a pv inverter. Thanks to the use of a bidirectional analyzer, IPOE gives full control over energy flows from and to the power grid, as well as provides instantaneous and archival data on energy production. Additionally, IPOE enables meeting the requirement of electronic excise register in the field of electricity production for entities that are obliged to keep excise duty records.

No, with the use of IPOE it is possible to monitor the consumption of gas, water, heat and cold.

• Real-time measurement,
• High scalability of the solution,
• Non-invasive installation,
• Optimization (of ordered and reactive power),

• Configurable KPI1* and dashboards.

* KPIs (key performance indicators) - key performance indicators or key measures of achievement.

Yes, the analyzers are certified to IEC 61557-12, the standard for measuring and monitoring electrical parameters in power distribution grids.

The range of applications of IPOE is very wide - from monitoring main power connections, through selected circuits, to individual lines or machines. There is also no limit to the number of analyzers, which work with IPOE.

To a large extent, the efficiency of electrical machinery and equipment.
