Advanced Power Quality and Disturbance Monitor
The UP-2210 Power Quality Monitor is an IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) designed for permanent installation in 50/60 Hz power distribution and transmission systems. It can be installed in any configuration: wye, delta or variants.
All UP-2210 meters measure PQ according to IEC 61000-4-30 class A.
The UP-2210 is also an electricity meter complying to IEC 62053-22.
The meter has 4 voltages and 4 current inputs that can be connected directly or via PT or CT circuits. Transients are measured via separate high-speed transient capture channels.
The heart of the UP-2210 is a 32-bit digital signal processing (DSP) processor enabling all channels to be simultaneously monitored.

High performance
The UP-2210 complies with IEC 61000-4-30 class A for Power Quality Measurements.
All channels are sampled simultaneously at 5000 samples/cycle, which provides accurate and reliable data. The sampling is synchronised using a PLL (phase-locked loop) and each sample is time tagged making advanced applications possible like PMU (Phasor Measurement Unit).
The meters can also be equipped with Harmonic Bandwidth Extension (HBE) to compensate for transformer losses for accurate measurements.
Watchdog
The UP-2210 performs an extensive self-test when starting and regularly when in operation. A watchdog continuously monitors operation so that nothing goes wrong. There is a running status digital output that can be connected to other systems (like SCADA) as a health check signal.
Transient recording
During a high-speed transient the voltage and current waveforms are captured on all channels simultaneously by a separate mechanism at 31.000 samples per cycle. The waveforms of all channels are stored with a user settable pre- and post-trig times to ensure no valuable data of the event is lost.
Real-time
Real-time functions show waveforms, oscilloscope, trend information, vector diagrams and more simultaneously without interrupting the ongoing measurements.
Unique automatic historical trend graph that shows all important values 24 hours back in time in real-time mode. This can also be shown in the optional substation display unit.Other functions include online monitoring of voltage, current, frequency, power, instantaneous flicker, harmonics up to 100th and inter-harmonics. It is also possible for the user to customize a personal view with gauges, trend graphs and counters.
High level of automation
The fundament in PQ Secure is automation. All tasks are fully automated and you will not have to search for the information – the information comes to you. An important interface is the email system, PQ reports and alarms are automatically compiled and sent to selected receivers using emails.
Data download from the meters is done completely automatically with administration functions to maintain and monitor the process.
Data exchange (open format)
The PQ Secure system has several ways of importing data automatically from other systems. Protocols supported includes PQDIF, COMTRADE, text, Excel and more.
It is also possible to export data from PQ Secure using similar protocols. The open MS SQL architecture allows for easy third party connection to the database for a variety of applications.
PQ Control module (instant control)
With PQ Control your Power Quality Management System becomes a natural part in your Smart Grid. It can take actions based on alarms and trig levels you set on different Power Quality parameters. For example, you can switch on or off a filter bank based on THD or individual harmonics values. PQ Control use digital outputs of the meter to operate external breakers or to send signals to other control systems (SCADA).
You can use a variety of parameters like harmonics, flicker, unbalance or voltage levels etc. It is also possible to use statistical triggers like 95%.
Smart Grid and integration
The UP-2210 family of meters are IEDs designed for modern Smart Grid Solutions. A number of protocols are supported including Modbus and IEC 61850. The PQ Secure system is based on standard, open solutions like Microsoft SQL Server, which allow easy integration to other systems like SCADA systems.
Voltage dips(sags) and swells
UP-2210 capture voltage and current on all channels simultaneously in accordance with IEC 61000-4-30 Class A in the event of a voltage dip/swell.
The instrument also automatically registers the disturbance direction. The recording is captured from seconds to minutes with user settable pre- and post-trig time.

Earth fault recording
The UP-2210 family of instruments are all capable of identifying earth fault both before and as they are appearing. The earth fault module reacts to deviations in voltage or current unbalance. An event is created, and a waveform capture is made. With this module earth faults can be traced, and costly problems prevented before they occur.
Fault recorder
The UP-2210 can also be equipped with a fault recorder module, which activates the unit’s digital inputs for supervision of the status of circuit breakers, relays and other external equipment. Whenever there is a disturbance in the electrical grid the unit records voltage and current deviations, together with information about the connected external equipment.
Digital outputs
The digital outputs can be used to synchronise other meters (or UP-2210) to record at an event. A typical application is interface to SCADA or other control systems.
Analogue inputs
The basic model of UP-2210 has 4 voltage plus 4 voltage transient inputs. The bandwidth of each input is adapted to the appropriate application. When measuring harmonics a lower bandwidth is needed than when capturing transients. This is performed automatically in the instrument. The UP-2210 also has 4 current input channels. In low voltage networks the fourth current channel can be used to measure the neutral current.
Energy metering
The UP-2210 is also suitable for energy metering applications and complies with energy accuracy class 0.2S. Additionally an S0-interface/ pulse output is available.
Slowscan module
Unipowers unique slow scan feature allows capturing of Power Quality events with a recording time of up to several minutes and a rms rate of 10-100 times/second. This feature excels at capturing slow events in the grid.
Statistical PQ analysis
Unipower uses an advanced data compression algorithm which not only assure a reliable collection of data from each PQ meter but also keeps the data growth of SQL data base to a minimum. The result is a superior response time when performing statistical or trend evaluation from multiple meters with many years of recording.
Proven service life
A permanent installed meter is designed for a service life of minimum 15 years in continuous operation.
Substation display
The Unipower substation display is the most high-resolution scalable display on the market. One display easily connects all substation meters to one single display for on-site real-time evaluation.
PQ troubleshooting
Efficient troubleshooting is supported by automatic identification of downstream / upstream source of disturbance from the measurement site. The possibility to import other nearby measurement sites, as well as temporarily portable measurements, into the same analysis window enables presentation of the disturbance propagation and supports source identification.
Time sync
All meters are automatically time synchronised upon data download. If higher accuracy on time stamps are required it’s possible to time sync over NTP, GPS or Irig-B. Clock sync can also be achieved with the meter’s NMEA support.
Temperature recording
All meters can be equipped with interface for temperature logging, Pt100. With this interface you can continuosly log i.e. transformer temperature and correlate with PQ parameters and load situation.
