Power Quality Software for Light Flicker

[Yo121]

Hi, what's the best power quality software for analyzing voltage variations from a resistive arc welder that cause light flicker on a radial system. So far, I've found Neplan flicker analysis software. Does anyone know of something better; has anyone used the Neplan flicker module, and is it effective?​

Hi Yo121
Neplan is just software, no hardware, correct? If so, what are you planning to use for data acquisition hardware?
Historically, I have always used Dranetz power quality hardware. It's been a few years since I have had to deal with Dranetz, but you might want to check them out. I'm sure they will have the usual analysis software as well.
Most industrial plants now have access to tons of data, including power quality data, from modern digital power meters. Most of these manufacturers also will flog all sorts of data logging and analysis software as well.

I have used Dranetz and liked their software.

Hey, everyone, thanks for contributing. I believe I got the problem solved by using ETAP v. 12.5. Neplan is Swiss-made software that has many capabilities...probably overkill in many cases I've seen...however, I got the job done with ETAP. Thanks!
