Product Description

Xitron 2553 Power Quality Analyzers 

Xitron 2553 Power Quality Analyzers Designed w/DSP Technology

 The Xitron 2553 Power Quality Analyzers features the ideal
combination of precision, speed and ease-of-use in an instrument so economical it can be on every bench. The 2553/2553E is a high performance Power Quality Analyzer. The 2553 converts voltage and current signals to digital data using DSP chips where the signals are sampled automatically and periodically. A to D converters scale and sample data. The data-analysis components analyze voltage and current input samples for harmonic content. 

Xitron Configurations for 1Ø 2-wire, 1Ø 3-wire, 3Ø  3-wire or 3Ø 4-wire Power Sources and Loads

The Xitron 2553 Power Quality Analyzers are an easy-to-use, general purpose power analyzer, which may be configured for 1Ø 2-wire, 1Ø 3-wire, 3Ø  3-wire or 3Ø 4-wire power sources and loads. Overall, the 2553 analyzes the electrical power delivered to or by a device. The unit can be quickly set up on your bench top. You can adjust the viewing angle using the handle and adjust the contrast from the configuration screen. The 2553 Option “E” provides support for external current transducers of the current to current or current to voltage types. This option also provides terminals at the rear panel allowing the user to power external circuitry from the 2553’s internal DC power supplies (positive and negative 15V). Both the 2553 and 2553E analyzers display voltage, current and wattage “results” in numeric and graphic waveform formats. Results include voltage, current, wattage and harmonic frequencies in absolute, percentage and phase. You may display the fundamental in a bargraph format through the 40th harmonic or in a listing format through the 50th harmonic. You may examine power waveforms graphically and chart historical results in divisions of time from seconds to days. Additional screens display voltage and current peaks, harmonics, averages and reactive power with K-factor and crest factor of the voltage or current signal. All of the data that can be displayed on the 2553/2553E screens can be printed in full page printout formats. Both bargraph and listing fundamental printouts contain the 2nd through the 50th harmonics.

“Soft Key” Menus

The six-key front panel has four ‘soft’ keys with menus that simplify the selection of measurements. In addition to numerical results, the 2553 captures waveforms with 200-point precision. These wave­forms can be displayed or directly output at full resolution to a PCL printer. Power and amplitude measurements with a base accuracy of 0.1% are automatically synchronized to the fundamental frequen­cy. Peak measurements of voltage, current and power include con­tinuous, inrush and history modes plus an accumulation mode for W-Hr, A-Hr, and VA-Hr.
