Measuring short circuit loop impedance at solar farms and photovoltaic power plants With the increasing and dynamic development of solar photovoltaic farms and power plants, we are witnessing a growing demand for proper short-circuit loop impedance measurement between the inverter and the LV/MV transformer. To enable these tests to be made, Sonel have developed the [...]
Prosumer photovoltaic PV storage and self consumption. The advantages of a single supervision system. The prosumer approach to the integration of renewable energy sources and storage in buildings and the distribution grid creates a need for sophisticated control and monitoring systems to ensure efficient energy management and grid stability. These systems provide real-time data and decision-making [...]
Short Circuit Current Testing of Distribution Installations with High Current Fault Loop Impedance Meters The use of electrical installations and devices may pose a risk of electric shock, especially if there is damage to the power supply circuit or the equipment powered from it. Protection of people in the immediate vicinity of electrical devices in [...]
Maintaining batteries in a good condition with the Sonel BT-120 tester Nowadays, where our lives are largely dependent on electricity, reliable and efficient batteries are becoming a more and more important part of the energy and electrical infrastructure, automotive industry and even everyday life. Using portable devices, electric cars and emergency power systems would be [...]
The Sonel AHV-3 adapter for measuring DC voltage up to 3000V The changing world of industry is posing new challenges to electricians, which not only requires a different approach than what was needed before, but also a completely new range of measuring equipment. This change is best seen in the electro mobility and renewable energy [...]
Power Quality Expert have sponsored the ECA for their Project Net Zero Roadshow events. These events showed delegates and electrical engineers wanting to take advantage of this new and growing part of the electrical contracting market the opportunities available to them in renewables. During the events we showcased products from our partners Sonel and Electrex. [...]
Power Quality Expert were proud to attend the annual Sonel distributor conference in September. The meeting was held over a week at the Sonel factory in Swidnica. The meeting was also the first time that colleagues from other subsidiaries on the group attended, giving us a great opportunity to share product and application knowledge. Over [...]
Reactive Power is impacting your energy bill which makes it important to continuously measure and monitor it to determine the correct power factor correction system. Continuous measurement and monitoring of reactive power are necessary to determine the correct power factor correction system and to monitor it to ensure that it is providing the required level [...]
The effects of power quality on LED lighting and its performance generally receive little attention prior to its installation. Power quality issues such as voltage dips, harmonics, and interruptions can result in expensive, early replacement of damaged or failed LED lighting equipment. As a result of having to replace the damaged or failed LED lighting, [...]
