The Technological Quantum Leap in Hi-Performance Power Monitoring
ACCU-Measure® Technology - Nexus 1250 Power Monitor

August 25, 1999

Publicity Release

Westbury, New York - Electro Industries announces the release of its Nexus 1250 hi-performance power monitor. This monitor is the first unit to utilize EIG’s revolutionary, patent pending ACCU-Measure® metering technology. EIG scientists have spent 3 years developing this all-digital technique utilizing high-speed DSP technology and precision references.

ACCU-Measure® Technology Creates the Most Accurate Meter in the World - Using ACCU-Measure® Technology, the Nexus 1250 monitor is capable of attaining accuracy beyond 0.04% Watt-Hour. Voltage and Current parameters are measured in parts per million. Designed for utility deregulation, this accuracy standard has never been available before. This allows both consumers and energy providers to monitor power usage more accurately. The unit functions as a primary revenue meter as well as sub-metering and cost allocation applications.

Hi-Performance Power Quality Provides the Desired System Analysis - In addition to metering functions, the unit also offers advanced power quality monitoring. The unit measures harmonic distortion to the 128th order. Sampling at 256 samples per cycle, the unit records the voltage and current waveforms on all power quality and fault events. The meter records voltage surges and sags, transients, fault event data and many other parameters. The unit provides a graphical CBEMA analysis of the damaging effects of the power quality conditions.

New Universal Substation Power Supply

July 6, 1999

Publicity Release

Westbury, New York - Electro Industries announces the release of Power Brick, our universal substation grade power supply. This supply offers 125 Volts AC/DC inputs and either 9, 12 or 24VDC output at a 12VA rating continuous. The unit is MOV protected, offers short circuit protection and supplies very little ripple. Enclosed in a metal housing, the unit rejects EMI and RFI interference.

Power Brick was developed to provide power to substation devices such a line switches, modems, transducers or any other desired application. The unit’s superior input and output protection allow it to perform under harsh substation conditions without risk of failure.

Power System Supervisor 2.0

June 1, 1999

Publicity Release

Westbury, New York - Electro Industries, a manufacturer of highly advanced power monitoring equipment, announces the release Power System Supervisor 2.0. This revolutionary Ethernet based power monitoring system displays and stores all data collected from EIG Futura+ Power Quality monitors using existing Ethernet infrastructure. Based on peer-to-peer TCP/IP architecture, PSS provides an ultra fast system response while using virtually no network resources.

With PSS, the user can:

  • monitor every electrical power parameter throughout a facility,
  • trend and graph every parameter on any metered point,
  • record pre and post event power quality waveforms from every meter,
  • store virtually unlimited amounts of data without sacrificing system performance,
  • generate sub-metering bills and analyze cost allocation,
  • control plant equipment and breakers, and

much more.
PSS's revolutionary approach was originally designed for Lucent Technologies to meet their common need to remotely collect power usage and power quality data using existing Ethernet LANs without sacrificing network resources. PSS accomplished this task. PSS is now available as a generic package that easily integrates into any industrial, commercial or institutional environment.
