National Instruments LabVIEW Electrical Power Suite

National Instruments has announced the LabVIEW Electrical Power Suite, a toolkit specific to the power industry. With this toolkit, engineers can combine an NI CompactRIO system for power measurement with over 50 signal and sensor modules.

Engineers and scientists can now develop a custom three-phase power monitoring, metering or quality-analysis application, combining standard IEC, EN and IEEE algorithms, using LabVIEW.

LabVIEW Electrical Power Suite features industry-standard power analysis for graphical system design so users can create systems that combine power measurements with other sensors and signals. Full, streaming access to raw, time-based waveform data allows the implementation of site- and service-specific diagnostic algorithms.

Ready-to-run example programs integrate power-analysis functions such as energy, frequency, voltage unbalance and event detection into a full test or monitoring system.
