Introduction

The ELSPEC G4500 BLACKBOX Portable is the next generation in electrical

Power Quality recorders and analyzers. Powered by revolutionary PQZip

com-

pression technology, the G4500 BLACKBOX is capable of recording up to 1000

times more information than competitive instruments with equivalent memory

sizes. Practically, the G4500 BLACKBOX is designed to store continuously, cy-

cle by cycle, all parameters of data, including waveforms at maximum resolution

for more than a year, internally, without the need of an external storage device or

computer. The integrated PQSCADA software package provides an innovative

and convenient way of performing even the most complicated power quality in-

vestigations. A State of the Art PQSCADA Investigator application helps to ex-

plore power quality events, zooming in and out on any parameter at High Defini-

tion resolution, from months to microseconds in mouse-click speed and simplic-

ity.

The following are key features of the G4500 BLACKBOX Portable:

 No field setup required: Powered by a unique, continuous all-parameters recording

with self-identifying current probes, the BLACKBOX Portable does not require any

field setup or configuration for most of the usage scenarios (except PT/CT ratios)

 8 GB of internal memory: Capable of storing more than a year of continuous, all-

inclusive data with 1024 samples per cycle resolution for AC voltages and 256 samples

per cycle resolution for currents

 Integrated WEB server: and wireless Wi-Fi router and access point for the most con-

venient control and operation
