TESLA
Satisfies the Demanding Needs of Alaska Electric Light
& Power
Designed to be multi-functional, quickly installed
& easy to use, NxtPhase relays & recorders
are delighting customers. Utilities, such as Alaska
Electric Light & Power (AEL&P), are using
NxtPhase products in demanding applications to recognize
cost savings & optimize power flow.
Christy Yearous, PE of AEL&P writes, "Earlier
this year we purchased two TESLA recorders to replace
existing disturbance recorders. We were able to complete
the installation of the recorders within a week &
the programming took no more than a couple of hours.
We are extremely satisfied with the product &
have been using it extensively since the installation
was completed in July."
The TESLA recorder offers simultaneous fault, dynamic
swing, trend, & event recording. New fault location
capabilities are also available. In a single platform,
TESLA provides information to analyze everything from
system faults & motor starts to longer term effects
such as line power factor.
According to Ms. Yearous, "The sampling rate
allows transients to be recorded & analyzed. The
swing records allow system dynamics to be studied
& help us to better understand our power flow.
We have also been using the trend functions to perform
logging functions. All of this information can easily
be graphed or exported to other Windows programs."
AEL&P used TESLA's advanced communications options
to optimize the speed with which records are transferred.
"We use the Ethernet connection & have the
TESLA on our WAN, which makes it accessible &
easy to download records or to change programming,"
writes Ms. Yearous.
By fully utilizing the functionality of their TESLA
recorders, Alaska Light & Power maximize their
return on investment. Additional benefits will be
realized from the reliable performance & expert
customer service they have come to expect from NxtPhase.
