Description
Product Overview
The GE PQMII-T20 is a three-phase power quality monitoring module engineered for real-time analysis of electrical systems in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. As part of GE’s PQM II series, this compact device delivers comprehensive metering of voltage, current, power, harmonics, and energy usage, enabling proactive identification of power quality issues such as voltage sags, swells, and transient disturbances. The GE PQMII-T20 features four isolated analog outputs (0-20 mA/4-20 mA) and four programmable relay outputs, allowing seamless integration with SCADA systems, PLCs, and distributed control architectures13.
Equipped with Modbus RTU/RS485 communication and optional Ethernet connectivity, the GE PQMII-T20 supports remote configuration and data logging of up to 10,000 events, ensuring compliance with industry standards like IEEE 1159. Its true RMS measurement technology guarantees ±0.5% accuracy across a wide voltage range (20–60 VDC/20–48 VAC) and frequencies (50/60 Hz), making it ideal for critical environments such as power plants, data centers, and renewable energy installations27. The module’s waveform capture and harmonic analysis capabilities (up to 50th harmonic) provide granular insights into power system health, while its -40°C to +85°C operating range and conformal-coated PCB ensure reliability in harsh industrial conditions48.
Refurbished GE PQMII-T20 units undergo rigorous testing to meet OEM standards, offering a cost-effective solution for retrofitting legacy systems or upgrading power monitoring infrastructure. With hot-swap capabilities and intuitive front-panel controls, the module minimizes downtime during maintenance or expansion1011.
