Brazil. A Device from Full Gauge Controls has been operating with satisfaction in one of the most important commercial refrigeration companies in Brazil, which has helped its customers avoid the damages caused by problems in the electricity grid with a simple and economical solution.
Plotter-Racks, based in Curitiba, Brazil, makes it a matter of installing the PhaseLog E plus in all the racks and frames that leave its factory park. The device, produced by Full Gauge Controls, is specific for monitoring the quality of electrical energy and for the protection of all types of equipment. When connected to Sitrad, the brand's remote management software, it offers a complete and secure solution for customers.
"The product is very good, that's why we use it in everything: from cooling racks, to equipment boards, to protect three-phase loads, such as fans, pumps, compressors, among others," says the company's Electronic Products Engineering Manager, Northon Paulo Leal.
In addition to manufacturing and installing, Plotter-Racks also offers technical support. With this, it is common for the team to receive questions when a load disarms or the burning of an item in the machines occurs, for example.
"Our customers really like the PhaseLog E plus because in addition to protecting the equipment, it is also possible to check directly on the display the status of the power supply, such as voltage levels, possible errors in the sequence or lack of phase and modular and angular asymmetries", Explains. Leal also highlights the importance of the internal memory of the device, which allows the data to be saved for later evaluation.
PhaseLog E plus stores the voltage values of each phase of the electrical network, in periods of time determined by the user. This function, together with the use of Sitrad, allows the team to analyze the quality of the power that reaches the client and can find out where the problem is. "In relation to Sitrad, we mainly use the reporting part, so that everyone can have a better visualization of the information, which helps us in the resolution of the issues," he emphasizes.
Checking the quality of the electrical energy that reaches your commercial establishment is something of extreme importance.
Regardless of the segment, alterations in supply can mean from damage to equipment (which often has a high cost of maintenance and replacement) to the loss of the most diverse types of raw materials. Installing the PhaseLog E plus means having more than just a phaseless relay. It means protecting electrical equipment against voltage variations, angular and modular asymmetry, lack of phase and inversion in the sequence of phases, in addition to the advantages of having a real-time clock, internal memory and communication with the Sitrad for the accompaniment and alteration of data via the Internet.
