PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Nexus® 1450 Cyber Secure Power Quality Meter with Multiport Communication

Electro Industries’ Nexus® 1450 meter is a powerful power quality meter that provides accurate electrical energy measurements. It offers advanced capabilities for power quality analysis and determining electrical power reliability. The meter is a transducer base with a separate display. The transducer base retrofits to existing Electro Industries’ Nexus® 1250 and 1252 meters. The Nexus® 1450 power quality meter is ideal for existing switchboard panels since it can be installed without cutting panel doors. The separate display mounts into existing analog meter knockouts.

Multi-Gain™ Sensing Provides Superior Accuracy
EIG’s Latest Measurement Sensing Technology

  • Patented technology provides 0.06% energy accuracy throughout extended measurement range, from start up to full scale
  • Multi-Gain™ technology uses two sensors on the current inputs to determine the optimal sensing circuit for the highest accuracy measurement
  • Standard pickup range starts as low as 1 mA – high accuracy is attained at 25 mA
  • Multi-Gain™ metrology enables one meter to be used on both 5 A and 1 A secondary CTs
  • The meter should maintain high accuracy measurement throughout its installed life
  • The power quality meter meets ANSI C12.20 0.1 and IEC 62053-22 0.2S accuracy classes

Advanced Energy Meter
Supports Primary Metering Load Requirements

  • Full 4 quadrant metering, max/min recording with timestamp
  • Perpetual Time of Use
  • Transformer line loss compensation
  • Coincidental readings
  • Load aggregation/universal metering
  • Extensive logging with 8 logs of programmable historical profiles

Power Quality Monitoring and Analysis
Save Money by Improving Reliability

  • Certified to the highest international power quality standard – IEC 61000-4-30 Class A Ed. 3
  • Analyze power system health to reduce downtime
  • Collect power factor per circuit to correct worst scenarios
  • Monitor harmonics to assess the impact on equipment
  • Measure flicker and generate weekly EN 50160 power quality reports
  • Record waveforms at 1024 samples/cycle
  • Provides PQ reliability indices, including CBEMA and SEMI F47

Advanced HTML5-based Web Server
Provides Waveform Analysis over the Internet

  • Provides energy dashboard with real time voltage and current readings, detailed charts of energy usage over time, quadrant energy charts, and trending
  • Displays waveform event records and allows zoom and pan and overlay of voltage and current waveforms
  • Displays symmetrical components, phasor diagrams, flicker readings, status of high-speed digital inputs, and detailed information for accumulators and aggregators
  • Supplies meter and diagnostic information for meter health and status and enables firmware upgrade
  • Supports IEC 61850 file management

Resilient Cyber Security™
Prevent Attacks on Your Power System Data

  • Highly secure, 32 complex character passwords with 128-bit AES encryption
  • Password fail timeouts virtually eliminate brute-force hacking
  • An Admin and 10 customizable users
  • Four roles with customized user permissions
  • 256-bit digital firmware signature, to ensure firmware integrity when updating the meter’s firmware
  • Sealing switch and physical seals prevent remote hacking or tampering

Built-in CORE™ Log
Automatically Stores Meter Readings

  • The power quality meter uniquely uses an internal SQL database that automatically logs metering parameters
  • 142 metering parameters are logged at regular intervals
  • The CORE™ log ensures that most metering parameters are already logged – the power quality meter provides data without a complex configuration process

Advanced Communication and I/O
Six Standard, Simultaneous Communication Ports

  • Up to 32 simultaneous protocol connections
  • 4 independent serial ports – 3 RS485 and 1 RS485/RS232 selectable
  • 2 independent Ethernet ports – RJ45 and Fiber Optic, with separate IP addresses advanced port control, encrypted email on alarm, web server, and DHCP
  • Communication protocols include Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, Modbus TCP/IP, DNP3 Level 2, IEC 61850, IEC 61850 GOOSE, SMTP, SNTP
  • RS485 ports support RTU Master
  • 8 built-in digital status inputs, 2 standard pulse outputs
  • Multiple external I/O modules are available: digital and analog outputs, digital inputs, digital relay outputs, digital solid state pulse outputs
  • Up to 256 total points of I/O

IEC 61850 Protocol Server
Supports Substation Automation

  • IEC 61850 Edition 2
  • Either Ethernet port can be configured as an IEC 61850 protocol server
  • Up to 6 simultaneous MMS clients
  • Buffered and unbuffered reports
  • GOOSE messaging
  • Multiple pre-programmed logical nodes for power and energy values, power quality, and high-speed digital inputs
  • Web server supports downloading and uploading of CID files

IEC 61850 GOOSE Messaging and Distributed Fault Recording
GOOSE Cross Trigger Support

  • Unique distributed disturbance recording analysis improves substation reliability
  • Up to 16 user-programmed conditions to trigger system-wide waveform capture
  • Enables analysis of power quality events across the power system

Direct Retrofit with Advanced Remote Displays
Replace Older Meters without Panel Modification or Recertification

  • Transducer/remote display direct retrofit to older Nexus® 1252 meters makes installation cost effective
  • Remote displays retrofit to ANSI cutouts, so the power quality meter can be mounted in back of panel
  • P70N color touchscreen LCD display offers multiple pre-configured screens.
  • P40N+ LED display can act as a master to P41N+ Ampere and P43N+ Power displays, providing 3 panel displays on one connection powered by the meter. This is ideal for substation and power plant applications.
