PMC joins with Distributor Dranetz to provide Power Quality Training
PMC and Dranetz recently held customer training events in Minneapolis and Fargo. As an authorized distributor of Dranetz, PMC teamed up to provide customers with further information about power quality and the full line of Dranetz products. This event offered information helpful to those new to power quality analyzers and those already familiar with the Dranetz product line.
The training provided the opportunity for attendees to ask specific application questions and share best practices with other Dranetz users. The training began with a general power quality overview and ended with a deep dive into the Dranetz product line. Included within the agenda were the topics listed below.
- Introduction to Power Quality
- Dranetz HDPQ
- Monitoring, Measuring, and Power
- Transducer Considerations
- Improving Reliability
- PX5, Dran-View 7

Advantages of the Dranetz HDPQ
Attendees took an extended interest in the Dranetz HDPQ line of products. One of the greatest advantages of the Dranetz HDPQ series is that it has the ability to monitor the output of a VFD. This is a differentiator between Dranetz and other power quality suppliers. The HDPQ line merges state-of-the-art power quality monitoring capabilities with best-in-class communication capabilities to provide a revolutionary monitoring experience.
Features of the Dranetz HDPQ series include:
- Mobile Apps
- Remote Wireless Communications
- Large 7″ Viewing Screen (Portable Only)
- Power From the Phase (SP Versions Only)
- Compliance with Industry Safety Standards
The HDPQ line also comes in four different models that are available in portable version and SP versions. The only difference between the two models is that the Dranetz HDPQ SP models are powered by the phase being measured and are housed in an IP65 enclosure without an LCD display. The different models are listed below – each model adds expanded features and capabilities to the model listed previously.
