Real-time insights with Janitza power analysers
How Janitza’s fixed metering can help keep you alert
Unplanned downtime, voltage dips and hidden harmonics can all damage equipment and reduce system efficiency. To stay ahead, manufacturers, engineers and operators must monitor their assets continuously using reliable power quality analysers.
At CP Automation, we provide advanced solutions from leading brands, including Janitza. Our Janitza power analysers and other monitoring devices provide accurate, long-term data that can help you detect anomalies, reduce costs and comply with the latest standards.
Why monitoring matters
Sags, swells and other electrical issues can occur in millionths of a second, causing problems long before they’re noticed. By installing the right measurement devices, you can gain real-time visibility into:
- Voltage dips and spikes
- Harmonics
- Energy consumption trends
- Power factor and load balance
The data enables requirements analysis and selection of the most suitable products, supporting both energy management and long-term reliability.
The importance of fixed metering
Portable energy loggers and temporary test equipment can provide worthwhile insights when performing spot checks and short-term troubleshooting. For example, if a single circuit board fails without warning, a portable meter could help you identify whether the cause was a voltage dip or a sudden spike.
Though helpful, these portable systems are limited. Often, they are limited in scope and will only measure up to the 50th harmonic, leaving blind spots in the frequency spectrum. Also, they can only capture a short time period in isolation.
Meanwhile, fixed power quality analysers offer a more comprehensive solution. By permanently installing these devices at strategic points in your facility, you can continuously track electrical performance and gain high-quality data over weeks, months or even years. This can help identify recurring issues, improve energy management reduce maintenance bills over the long-term — all pressing concerns for commercial and industrial facilities.
Using Janitza UMG measurement devices, you can:
- Continuously monitor your critical systems
- Capture harmonics data beyond the 50th order
- Perform detailed root-cause analysis of disturbances and issues
- Improve predictive maintenance and damage prevention
- Record and analyse long-term energy use, supporting energy management initiatives
Reliable, turnkey support
Investing in a Janitza power analyser or another power quality analyser is an important step – and can help you boost uptime and energy efficiency. However, it’s important to select the right device and use the output as effectively as you can.
Our power quality team works closely with engineers, operators and facilities managers to carry out a requirements analysis and selection, meaning you will receive the most suitable analyser for your needs. Whether the goal is simple compliance monitoring, advanced root-cause analysis or company-wide optimisation, we have the tools and expertise to make it happen.
As well as supplying the right device, we offer full installation and ongoing support. With our dedicated measure, analyse, report and solve (M.A.R.S.) service, we can capture, review and analyse any data and feed it back to you in a detailed report.
With a wide range of measurement devices from trusted manufacturers like Janitza, we can help you benefit from industry-leading technology. From single-unit installations to multi-site monitoring projects, we offer a tailored, scalable approach to power quality management.
Whether you need a panel mounting meter, a din rail mounting power analyser or another solution, we can help.
