CT Lab Vecto III Class A Fixed mount Power Quality Analyser

Product Description

The VECTO 3 is a multifunction, waveform synchronised, Ed3.0 Class-A, portable or fixed installation power quality analyser, recorder and measurement device, now in its fourth generation.

The compact device is permanently GPS or PTP time synchronised to within <100 ns from absolute time, and offers high accuracy and high-bandwidth analog inputs with programmable gain. It offers secure Gigabit bandwidth IP integration via Ethernet, Fibre, industrial WiFi and 4G Cellular interfaces.

The devices are powered from either AC, DC or POE sources and offers built-in battery support. VECTO devices can operate stand-alone or as part of a fleet of permanently connected devices managed by VECTO Grid OS, the enterprise class big data hosting, visualisation, analysis & reporting software platform. Various value-adding software modules are available.

Main Features:

  • Ed 4.0 Class-A certified Power Quality
  • Class P&M PMU recording & streaming
  • Sub-Synchronous Oscillation Phasor Monitoring
  • 4-Quadrant Metering
  • Automation & Control
    • Modbus
    • DNP3
    • IEC 61850

Technical Specifications

Recent Updates:

  • Analog bandwidth increased >500 kHz to accomodate the 150 kHz higher harmonic requirement currently in the Ed 4.0 Annexure
  • Sampling Rate increased to 2 MHz to further reduce white noise – thus increasing accuracy at the very low end
  • ADC resolution increased from 16-bit to 18-bit to improve dynamic range and to increase  accuracy at the very low end
  • Dual Band GPS to eliminate signal reflection in built-up areas thus significantly improving PMU small signal accuracy
  • Dedicated frequency locking hardware to improve dead-reconning and jitter performance associated with poor GPS signal quality

Functional Features:

  • Linux operating system with comprehensive cyber-security support
  • Encrypted communication with onboard open VPN client
  • Web server with real-time viewer
  • Field upgradeable
  • Rich diagnostic event data streams with long pre- & post data
  • Synchronised diagnostic waveform data sampled at fixed 50 kHz sampling rate
  • Xross Trigger® mechanism – (synchronous cross-triggering of multiple devices)
  • Measures AC & DC parameters
  • Offline synchrophasor recording
  • Per Cycle SCADA parameter update speed
  • Supports 16.66 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz & 400 Hz networks
  • Harmonic powers & phase
  • Prevailing phasors
    • Prevailing harmonic magnitude ratio
  • Higher harmonic bands (up to 25 kHz)
  • Frequency lock on chopped voltage waveforms
  • Calculate 3rd or 4th current from existing 2- or 3-current inputs
  • Compensate harmonic amplitude & phase angle of external sensors
  • Simultaneously record various time interval data streams
