The Electrocorder EC-7VAR is a three-phase voltage and current data logger designed for monitoring electrical loads. It features three voltage channels capable of measuring up to 600Vac and three current channels with selectable ranges of 400A or 3kA. The device records voltage, current, power factor, power, and energy, storing data in non-volatile memory with a capacity of 32,000 true RMS values per channel, allowing for up to 300 days of continuous recording. The logger employs a constant sampling technique, capturing 16 samples per cycle, which enables it to record the average, maximum, and minimum values for each channel. This ensures comprehensive data collection, including peaks and troughs that may be missed by other devices that only take single readings. The EC-7VAR is sealed to IP65, making it suitable for various environments, and it operates within a temperature range of -10¬8C to +40¬8C. Included in the kit are the data logger, Rogowski transducers, voltage leads, a USB lead for data transfer, and Electrosoft energy analysis software. The software facilitates easy setup and data analysis, allowing users to view recorded data in both tabular and graphical formats. The device is powered by four 9V alkaline batteries, providing unlimited logging when connected to voltage.
The EC-7VAR Power Energy Data Logger is specifically designed to monitor one, two or three current channels, as well as one, two or three voltage channels. It allows you to monitor the loading and energy consumption of the installation. Power Factor recorded is the phase angle between L1 and A1. Amp ranges are selectable from 400 or 3000 AAC.
Why is the Electrocorder better than other similarly priced competitors? The Electrocorder range use a constant sampling technique, unlike the single reading of competitors. When the loggers start to record, they sample every channel 16 times per cycle, a cycle is 16ms at 60Hz and 20ms at 50Hz. At the end of each averaging period, 3 quantities are saved for each channel, the True RMS average, the Max, which is the highest cycle value during the period and the Min, lowest cycle value. This means that it will record all the peaks and troughs which are one cycle or longer.
The voltage and current levels are stored with dates and times. With the back-up battery, the Electrocorder can continue to record for months.
