New Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Monitors

Introducing the VGM-Series!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – (March 2015) Eagle Eye Power Solutions released a new line of battery voltage & ground fault monitors to complement their existing battery monitoring and testing solutions. The VGM-Series is Eagle Eye's newest line of continuous battery monitoring systems --- designed to monitor battery string voltage and ground faults in real-time. The VGM-Series is an inexpensive, user-friendly solution that has a simplistic design for monitoring 24V, 48V, 125V, and 250V batteries.

Why Monitor for Voltage & Ground Faults? 

VGM-Series Voltage & Battery Ground Fault Monitor
Battery voltage monitoring will provide critical battery cell protection and ensure the longevity of the battery system. Over voltage can lead to overcharging and overheating of the batteries, which can cause irreversible cell destruction. Under voltage will also cause irreversible battery damage if left uncorrected.  Battery ground faults can be difficult to locate and may create catastrophic and costly damage if they remain undetected. The entire battery system will be compromised and subject itself to overheating, thermal runaway, and reduced battery capacity.

Continuous voltage & ground fault monitoring will eliminate those risks, and allow for immediate corrective action - protecting the integrity of your battery system. 

VGM-100 Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Dual Monitor
The VGM-100 Battery Voltage & Ground Fault Monitor is an all-in-one solution for simplistic battery monitoring. The unit reads battery status, detects out-of-limit conditions and provides alarm conditions at user settings. Includes four Form C Contacts. 

GFM-100 Battery Ground Fault Monitor
The GFM-100 Battery Ground Fault Monitor is a real time solution for monitoring battery ground faults. If a ground fault is detected, a positive or negative ground fault message will appear, and the GFM-100 can activate one of four Form C contacts. 

VM-100 Battery String Voltage Monitor
The VM-100 Battery Voltage Monitor will continuously monitor battery string over voltage and under voltage conditions. If over or under voltage is detected, the voltage status will appear on the unit & the VM-100 will activate one of four Form C Contacts.  

Eagle Eye Power Solutions offers many other real-time battery monitoring systems for DC applications including utilities, telecoms, and DC generators. UPS applications include data centers, hospitals, emergency lighting and more. Learn more about Eagle Eye Power Solutions at: www.eepowersolutions.com today!

Simplified & Improved Portable Battery Testing Kits

Revamped IBEX-Series by Eagle Eye Power Solutions

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – (October 2014) Eagle Eye Power Solutions has improved their popular IBEX-Series Portable Battery Testing Kits. Originally having four (4) kits in the series, Eagle Eye has simplified it to three (3) kits to meet any company’s needs and budget. The IBEX-Series is commonly used in the utility, telecommunications, UPS, transportation and mission critical industries, and is the preferred battery tester by service groups worldwide. To learn more visit: http://www.eepowersolutions.com/categories/portable-resistance-battery-testers-ibex-series/ today!

The IBEX-Series is made up of three (3) Kits:
           
-       IBEX-Ultra
-       IBEX-Pro
-       IBEX-EX

The IBEX-Ultra is the premier kit in the IBEX-Series, capable of storing 4,800 measurement results and 80 alarm settings. The IBEX-Ultra includes Exmons Ultra Battery Management Software to trend data & create reports. In addition to testing Voltage, Internal Resistance, Inter-cell Resistance, and Temperature the IBEX-Ultra tests DC Current & Ripple Current.

The IBEX-Pro is similar to the IBEX-Ultra but it is commonly used for testing smaller amounts of battery systems. The IBEX-Pro also includes Exmons Ultra Battery Management Software and has a memory of 600 measurement results and can test Voltage, Internal Resistance, Inter-cell Resistance, and (optional) temperature.

The IBEX-EX is the most economic portable battery tester in the IBEX-Series. The IBEX-EX tests Voltage, Internal Resistance, Inter-cell Resistance, and (optional) temperature, and includes Serial Comm which is a program for transferring results from the IBEX to Microsoft Excel for basic reporting.

The IBEX-Series is the smallest, fastest, and most precise handheld battery tester in the market. Resistance and voltage testing is critical to determine the health of stationary batteries. The IBEX-Series is also commonly used to comply with IEEE and NERC Standards for Battery Testing. The IBEX-Series battery testing kits are extremely effective in preventing battery failure and an essential component of any battery preventative maintenance program.

Locating Ground Faults in DC Systems

Ground Fault Detector for Utilities

Eagle Eye Power Solution's GFL-1000 ground fault locator is an essential instrument to pinpoint faulty grounding where electrical cables have breakage and lost to the ground. The GFL-1000 is an essential preventative maintenance tool that increases the reliability of electrical equipment.

A ground fault is an unintentional electrical path between a power source and a grounded service, and can occur at any time. They often occur when equipment is damaged or defective. Ground faults often go unnoticed and can cause problems with plant production processes. Ground faults cause serious damage to equipment and to production processes, and also create health and safety risks to personnel.

The Eagle Eye GFL-1000 pinpoints ground faults by accurately measuring grounding resistance and distributing capacitance. Based on different distributing capacitance, it selects the right output frequency for testing - enabling it to be used in a variety of DC systems – including DC systems of high resistance. The GFL-1000 is built based on years of field experience in different DC systems to fast-detect, track and locate virtual grounding faults saving hours of costly troubleshooting. The GFL-1000 is particularly useful in any industry where supply of power for operating measurement, communication and control equipment is critical – including locomotive, telecom, power utilities and other industrial facilities.

Utilities commonly use the GFL-1000 to meet NERC compliance. The GFL-1000 is recommended by NERC PRC-005-2 to inspect for unintentional grounds for Vented Lead-Acid, Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid and NiCad batteries every four calendar months. In many cases, the first ground that appears on a battery is a nonissue. Unintentional grounds that appear on the opposite pole become problematic, and it is up to the user to determine if corrective actions are needed on detected unintentional DC grounds to reduce any possible consequences.

Load Banks for Any Application

Load Banks for Any Application 
Improve Performance, Reliability and Uptime


Load Banks are a critical component in any preventative maintenance program designed to measure the performance of battery systems, generators, UPS systems, and other AC & DC power supply sources. The purpose of a load bank is to accurately mimic the operational load a power source will encounter in an actual application. Load Banks are often the most accurate way to measure the performance of your system, and can reveal problems before there is an emergency - saving both time & money.
