The SPC Pro 2 is a three-phase electricity data logger designed for professionals seeking efficient and accurate energy monitoring solutions. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this device introduces several enhancements to streamline data logging and analysis.
Design and Build
The SPC Pro 2 is compact and robust, featuring a custom-moulded, high-impact ABS case with a sealed front panel overlay. Magnetic feet are standard, allowing for easy attachment to ferrous metal surfaces, keeping the unit secure during operation.
Key Features
Simplified Connectivity: Utilises a single voltage connection via a standard 13A wall socket, simplifying setup and enhancing safety. For surveys where mains power is unavailable, the internal lithium-ion battery provides up to two weeks of logging, extendable to 12 weeks with an external battery pack.
Flexible Current Measurement: Equipped with fully isolated flexible hoop current transformers (CTs) that are auto-ranging across three current ranges: 2-20A, 20-200A, and 200-2000A. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of applications.
Enhanced Memory and Data Retrieval: Boasts a memory capacity of 200,000 records, supporting surveys up to 12 weeks in duration. Data retrieval is straightforward via a USB flash drive interface; simply plug in a memory stick and press the 'Download to USB' button to transfer readings. Additionally, a second USB socket allows for direct PC connection.
User-Friendly Software: The accompanying PowerPackPro software is compatible with Windows operating systems, facilitating efficient data analysis and reporting.
Performance
The SPC Pro 2 delivers precise measurements with the following accuracies:
Voltage: 0.5% of measurement ±2.0V
Current:
- 2-20A: 0.5% of measurement ±0.5A
- 20-200A: 0.5% of measurement ±2.0A
- 200-2000A: 0.5% of measurement ±5.0A
These specifications ensure reliable data collection for comprehensive energy analysis.
Applications
Ideal for load logging, energy audits, and monitoring electrical systems in commercial and industrial settings, the SPC Pro 2 assists in identifying energy consumption patterns, detecting inefficiencies, and verifying the capacity of electrical installations.
Conclusion
The SPC Pro 2 stands out as a versatile and user-friendly three-phase data logger, offering significant improvements in memory capacity, data retrieval, and measurement flexibility.
