Photos from PQView Seminar in Thailand Posted

Electrotek Concepts and Power Quality Thailand recently hosted a seminar on using PQView for Provincial Electric Authority (PEA) in Bangkok, Thailand.  The seminar topics included importing data to PQView from Dranetz Power Xplorer® PX5 meters, importing microprocessor relay data from IEEE COMTRADE files, importing data from Schneider Electric ION Enterprise databases, viewing event data and trend data in PQView, and using PQView for distribution fault location.  In conjunction with the seminar, Electrotek completed a new data handler for PQView that allows PEA to import voltage sag event data and data log data from its AMR database system.  The AMR database includes 15-minute samples of rms voltage and current, power factor, energy readings (kw-hrs and kvar-hrs), and voltage total harmonic distortion (THD).  This data handler will be built into PQView 3.71.0.  Photos from the meeting are available on-line.
