The Most Versatile, Portable, Power Quality Analyzer.
Patented PQZIP Algorithm for Continuous Waveform Everything
- Continuous waveform recording
- Trigger free setup
- 5,000 power parameters @ 1/2 cycle resolution
- Easy deployment
Class A Power Quality Analyzer
Far surpassing the highest standards set by the industry, the BLACKBOX device series complies with standards for: aggregations, time clock uncertainty, flagging, and transient influence quantities.
Synchronized Monitoring
A unique time synchronization algorithm assures that logged data from multiple units is synchronized & displayed on the same time scale with typical 0.1 ms resolution. Every event on a grid is accurately analyzed for precise root cause analysis, behavior propagation, and traced to its source.
Superior Accuracy
Elspec’s pioneering measurement method utilizes a dual-range gain of 2 x 16 Bit to yield, a superior accuracy far surpassing IEC 61000-4-30 Class A requirements,thereby capturing the finest details & deviations in Power Quality parameters.

Real time PQ monitoring and analysis
PQZIP Compression Technology, Unique to ELSPEC. Every Cycle, Captured.
PQZIP Compression Technology
The PQZIP Patent compression algorithm enables the meter to continuously store waveform signals over a long period of time, whether an event of interest was identified. This technology is
unique to Elspec and ensures precise and accurate
characterization of electrical system dynamics.
PQZIP Compression features:
- Continuous waveform recording
- Supreme Trend Resolution
- Extended Harmonic Recording
- Threshold free setup
- Easy deployment
Continuous Waveform Recordings - Up to 1 Year
The G4500 Portable power quality analyzer is able to record and store all electrical waveform continuously for more than a year depending on the settings, with no gaps in the data. It offers a clear and comprehensive picture of the conditions before, during, and after an event.
PQSCADA Sapphire Software Included
The G4500 Series power quality analyzer measures and records 5,000 power parameters continuously at a resolution of ½ cycles, 10/12 cycles, 150/180 cycles, 10 min and 2 hours of which, any given resolution is calculated for display and reporting purposes. Hence, there is no need to select which parameters to log, and more importantly, which parameters to ignore.
Use the included PSCADA Express Edition Software to Analyze Data from the G4500.
PQSCADA Sapphire - Import Data, Analyze, Investigate, and Report. Seamless Integration with APIs.
Create multi-site investigation with data from ELSPEC hardware or third-party devices, analyze with charts, and export standardized and customizable reports. Full API available for seamless integration including for MATLAB.
Harmonics & Inter-harmonics
The G4500 portable power quality analyzer has two FFT engines for harmonics analysis:
- Cycle by Cycle: performs FFT at 1 cycle resolution for extended bandwidth. This engine provides up to 512 harmonics order at 50Hz resolution.
- 10/12 Cycles: performs FFT 10/12 cycles resolution for extended resolution and sub-grouping calculation. This engine provides the magnitude and angle of 512 spectrum components at 5Hz resolution.
Comprehensive Event Mechanism
The G4500 power quality analyzer is designed to detect any event occurring on your system. The mechanism allows you to configure events on any measured parameter (more than 1,000) and/or I/O ports. The event mechanism supports out-of-limit events as well as rate of changed limits.
The G4500 analyzer is capable of recording waveform signals continuously. The event configuration doesn’t trigger the recording but rather stores summary logs including start and end time, duration, severity and magnitude of the event. All events can be displayed in a tabular or scatter charts as CBEME/ITIC.
