Powerside Class A Power Quality Analyzer

PQube 3 Power Quality Analyzer

Powerside PQube 3 is a compact Class A power quality analyser, revenue-grade energy meter and real-time power monitoring platform for critical electrical systems.

It records power quality disturbances, energy use, high-frequency events, harmonics, supraharmonics, environmental data and process parameters in one integrated device. It works like a black box for the electrical system, capturing what happened, when it happened and how the system responded.

Product Overview

PQube 3 is designed for critical facilities and industrial sites where power quality events can cause trips, downtime, damaged equipment, nuisance faults or production losses. It provides compliant power quality measurements, waveform capture, event reports and long-term trend information.

It is suitable for manufacturing plants, semiconductor facilities, data centres, hospitals, utilities, commercial buildings, airports, water infrastructure, renewable energy systems, UPS systems and other critical electrical installations.

Positioning: Class A power quality analyser, energy meter, transient recorder and environmental monitoring platform for critical electrical systems.

Why PQube 3 Matters

Many sites only know that equipment tripped. PQube 3 helps show whether the event was caused by voltage sag, swell, interruption, transient, harmonics, frequency shift, external utility condition or internal site behaviour.
