Data Centers see Cost-Savings with Higher Accuracy for Power Quality and Efficiency Analysis

From the desk of: Christoph Weidner

Power Analyzers used in Data Centers are professional grade tools for reliable power analysis and power monitoring of redundant power Supplies, UPS-Systems, power distribution systems and cooling systems. Professional power analyzers are used to ensure and prove the reliability and the failure safety of the energy supply. The ultimate objective is to keep or raise the failsafe performance to 99.999%! Why is this important? Typically, an increase of the failsafe performance from 99.990% to 99.999% is equivalent to an additional turnover/profit of approx. $336,000 for the Data Center per year! Additionally, a DEWETRON Power Analyzer with industry leading accuracy specs helps to locate energy wastes and to reduce energy consumption. As a general rule, optimization leads to a reduction of 3-4% depending of the size of the Data Center.

A DEWETRON Power Analyzer can replace or combine a least 3 legacy measurement instruments (Power Quality Analyzer, Power Meter, Recorder, Power Scope, …) within a single device. This leads to a common data base (“single point of truth”), a single powerful Software Solution for Measurement and Analysis (the usage of additional analysis tools is no longer necessary and therefore reduces the cost of licenses by approx. 8000 EUR per year) and a reduction of required resources that allows for the reallocation these resources elsewhere. The consolidation of several different power analysis systems into a single power analyzer reduces the number of power analyzer/DAQ Systems on-site, reduces training effort/expenses, reduces the cost of calibration and maintenance). Overall a DEWETRON Power Analyzer can lead to saving effects to the magnitudes of $500,000 per year, depending on the size of the data center! 

The DEWE2-PA7 Mixed Signal Power Analyzer is your turnkey solution for analyzing and recording polyphase electric systems and power quality with only ONE instrument. It guarantees a basic accuracy of 0.01 %.
