Three Phase Voltage Logger SL-3V
![]() |
Used by power distribution companies, voltage and energy optimisations companies, facilities management, electrical or site services and maintenance engineers to monitor voltage variations on site helping them to diagnose any voltage related issues, or to gather data perhaps to make representations to their power supplier. Voltage optimisation companies also use the product to monitor voltage levels pre and post optimisation. Two sizes are available, the larger EC-3V and the smaller SL-3V, which is about a quarter of the size. The SL-3V has a reduced battery life around 9 months, approximately 1/3 of the EC-3V (which has 24 months). Note the EC-3V has native USB communications and a phase sequence (rotation) checker as standard, the SL-3V has RS232 comms and has no integral phase sequence checker. This logger uses RS232 communications with the PC, if you do not have an RS232 (9 pin D) serial port, you will need a USB to RS232 converter.
SL-3V-**-KIT includes logger (1), voltage leads (4), RS232 lead (1), software (1) and carry case (1).
All Electrocorders use a constant sampling technique, meaning they sample every cycle multiple times, missing very little data! Many, many other brands do not, they simply sleep for 99.99% of the time, waken to take a sample, then sleep; they miss 99.99% of the data! How can you perform a survey when 99.99% of the data is missing?
Voltage Optimisation (Voltage
Optimization).
The average voltage supply from the UKs National Grid is often higher than the
ideal operating voltage for most electrical equipment like lighting and motors.
For example, a 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply will take
4.3% more current and will consume almost
9% more electricity. Multiply that across all
the appliances in your organisation and that soon adds up. Sites fitted with a
voltage optimisation system often achieve reductions in the region of
10-20% for energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions!
The first step in voltage optimisation is to monitor and know your present
incoming voltage levels, the Electrocorder allows you to determine this.
