For the structured analysis of faults in the power grid and network, and for the objective assessment of short-term events. Supports operations, engineering and service teams by providing reliable data for decision-making and documentation.
Typical applications:
- Investigating recurring issues where the cause is unclear or disputed
- Identifying the cause following outages, malfunctions or quality complaints
- Traceable recording of short-term events for internal clarification and evidence
- Documentation of conditions before and after changes to the power grid and network
This device is suitable if:
- Faults need to be conclusively proven rather than merely suspected
- The timing and cause of anomalies need to be clearly identified
- Measurement data is required for internal decision-making or for use with third parties
- Continuous recording is required rather than a one-off analysis
Many Functions United in a Single Device
PQI-DE
The PQI-DE is a energy logger, power quality measurement device, fault recorder and residual current measurement device all in one. The device combines numerous functions. It can be used as a power quality interface to fulfil network quality standards or to check the technical connection guideline. It also offers SCADA interfaces and is fitted with a fifth power input. This means the device offers everything power quality experts need.

A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG
Measure. Regulate. Across All Grids.
A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, operates in the field of measurement and regulation technology for the energy sector as well as for medium-sized and large industrial companies. Our products and services ensure and enhance the availability of energy supply across all voltage levels and support the integration of renewable energy sources into power grids.
Records Transients at up to 24 µs
Transients are increasingly a problem in electrical grids. The energy logger PQI-DA smart offers the ability to measure these transients exactly down to 24 µs, allowing precise network analysis. Analysis with our device makes the grid not only more stable but also safer.
Standards and Protocols – Making Our Products Fit for the Future
- EN 50160 (2013)
- IEC 61000-2-2
- IEC 61000-2-12
- IEC 61000-2-4 (Klasse 1;2;3)
- NRS 048
- IEEE 519
- IEC 61000-4-30 Klasse A
- IEC 61000-4-7
- IEC 61000-4-15
Fulfill the Measurement Standards of Tomorrow Today
Our fix installed all-rounder offers a wide range of measurement options that represent the standards of tomorrow, today. Thus, our PQI-DE energy logger already provides frequency measurement from 2 – 20 kHz. Consider buying one of our devices as investing in the solutions of the future.
Residual Current Measurement RCM to 40.96 kHz Over 5 Current Channels
Residual current measurement has a wide range of applications. On the one hand, the energy logger can be used to substitute repeat insulation tests to DIN VDE 0150-100/A1; while in connection with a switch-off device it can also provide fire and material protection. The PQI-DE is the first device in the product portfolio that can do both.
IT Security From the Manufacturer With ISO 27001 Certification
Certified security via User Rights Management (URM) and Role Based Access (RBAC) thanks to highly encrypted data transmission.
High-quality power quality monitoring with the option of quick and easy current drop monitoring helps to recognise trends at an early stage and offers the advantage of being able to initiate countermeasures in good time.
Measure Transformers in the Local Substation With High Precision - With the PQ Network Analysers »PQI-LV«, »PQI-DA smart« or »PQI-DE«
- Measure voltage, current, power and power quality parameters at the transformer infeed with less than 0.1% deviation in accordance with IEC61000-4-30 Class A Ed. 3 to assess voltage quality via power quality parameters in accordance with EN50160 and IEC61000-2-2.
- Analysis of flicker, THD, harmonics (H2-H50), supraharmonics 2-20kHz, transients & PQ events with fault recording in the event of under- or overshoot.
Measuring, Recording and Analysing Outgoing Circuits - With the »I-Sense« Current Measurement Technology
- Current measurement L1/ L2 / L3 / (N) with min. and max. values for up to 16 outgoing circuits.
- Simple connection possible using existing ‘third party devices’, such as safety edges with intelligent transformers.
Reporting to the Point - With the »WebPQ®« Analysis Software
- »WebPQ®« software solution for quick and easy evaluation of power quality data and outgoing feeders using clear, configurable reports.
