The TR-3000 Multi-Function Fault Recorder is the only tool you need to capture and diagnose power system anomalies. It meets regulatory compliance standards including PRC-002-2 and provides advanced utility monitoring capabilities. With multiple recording modes and continuous transient oscillography, you will never miss an event. The TR-3000 captures high-speed transients and long-term system disturbances giving you a complete view of the electrical network. While simple and quick to set up and diagnose a fault, it has the power to analyze complex system anomalies.
Digital fault recorders (DFRs) sample analog values of voltage and current and convert them to a digital format after being triggered by events or signals from protection relays. This digital data is then used for detailed analysis of electrical system performance. The TR-3000 applies this principle to:
- Detect disturbances and store measurements before and during events
- Assess power quality, voltage levels and harmonic content
- Monitor system protection performance
- Transfer and display measurements to operators for real-time interpretation
- Store measurements continuously or based on triggers for post-event analysis
Accurate time stamps enable correlation with other locations, helping utilities understand event propagation and sequence, which is critical for modern grids with fast-reacting power electronic converters.
MULTI-FUNCTION CAPABILITY:
The DR-300 takes the place of several devices:
- Fault Recorder and System Disturbance Recorder
- Transient Fault Recorder
- Phasor Measurement Unit
- Power Quality Monitor
- Sequence of Events Recorder
FIELD PROVEN TECHNOLOGY:
The core strength of AMETEK Power Instruments Recorders is the extensive triggering and recording capabilities to ensure you never miss an event. The TR-3000 has a 256 GB solid-state drive for recording high-resolution data at longer durations. Flexible triggering options make it easy to capture a simple fault or uncover a complex system anomaly. Independent of any triggers, the Transient Oscillography feature provides continuous waveform recording for up to 4 days to capture events that are too sensitive for your triggers or to extend your pre- and post-fault data recorded.
HIGH RELIABILITY:
The TR-3000 is a highly reliable solid-state design that incorporates a low-power fan-less operation with no moving parts. Each chassis can be equipped with a redundant power supply which can operate from the same or different power source. Input modules are hot-swappable, and each one has its own dedicated processor for independent monitoring. Multiple independent Ethernet ports support simultaneous connections for reliable network communications and secure data transfers.
UTILITY MONITORING BENEFITS:
Utilities can leverage the TR-3000 for real-time monitoring and analysis of system performance helping identify energy-hungry assets and optimize operations. By tracking disturbances and faults, utilities gain actionable insights to improve reliability, reduce downtime and enhance grid stability. This proactive approach supports smarter energy management and faster restoration after disturbances.
