11.24.2009 - Basler Electric releases BESTWAVEPlus COMTRADE Analysis Software

BESTWAVEPlus is a high-resolution graphical analysis interface designed for the display, analysis and management of fault files in the standard IEEE COMTRADE file format. It includes the ability to read and view all COMTRADE files generated in any relay, meter, or digital fault recorder regardless of manufacturer.

The analytical interface offers a full range of flexible analysis tools for navigating traces, amplitude and time scaling, superimposing traces, peak detection, instantaneous and RMS values, primary and secondary values, phase calculations, sequence components, channel triggers, and waveform envelopes. The file management portion of the program provides the necessary means to merge files, append files and adjust for time synchronization of multiple records.

BESTWAVEPlus may be used for real time monitoring of evolving load abnormalities, dynamic relay testing, contingency planning, and intelligent maintenance applications.

An evaluation version of BESTWAVEPlus is shipped with each BE1-11f, BE1-11i, BE1-11g, BE1-GPS100, BE1-IPS100, BE1-1051, BE1-951, BE1-851, BE1-700V, and BE1-700C.

 

10.12.2009 - How to Select the Appropriate Basler Electric BE1-50/51B Model

Basler Electric produces a number of equivalent time overcurrent relays designed to replace existing GE-type IAC and Westinghouse-type CO time overcurrent relays. The BE1-50/51B relays provide a more versatile product than the ones to be replaced, because of the combination of connections, time overcurrent ranges, time characteristic and instantaneous overcurrent ranges available.

Basler's latest Application Note PC-5051B02, explains how to select the appropriate BE1-50/51B model for IAC or CO replacement. It includes a table of the most popular IAC and CO characteristics and their equivalent BE1-50/51B characteristic switch selection position, as well as information on time overcurrent settings, reset characteristics, instantaneous overcurrent settings, connections, and case sizes.

6.19.2008 - Midtronics releases CELLTRAQ Battery Asset Management System

To meet the growing need for effective management and maximize the investment in back-up power systems, Midtronics announces the release of the CellTraq Battery Asset Management System.

Midtronics developed CellTraq to address the changing needs of Stationary back-up battery users in the telecommunications, critical data management, power utility applications, along with other industries. CellTraq simplifies the process of battery commissioning, maintenance and tracking through:

• Simplification of the testing/monitoring/data collection process
• Effective analysis of battery assets through proven metrics
• Efficient process management, including budget management of scheduled battery replacement

"Through our deployment of battery analyzers and monitoring equipment as well as our constant interaction with users, we found there is a significant need for a tool to help manage their considerable investment in battery back-up systems," said Todd Stukenberg, Executive Director of Marketing for the Midtronics Stationary Power Division. "CellTraq was conceived to specifically meet that need. It was designed from the ground up with the end-user in mind, from installation to efficient and effective daily execution by the technican out in the field, to use as a decision-making tool at the management level."
