About The PM7500
The PM7500 Power Quality and Energy Monitor, an upgraded replacement of the PM7503, is a panel mounted variant of our top of the range PM7000 Power Quality Analyser. As with the PM7000 and PM7000FLM, as well as recording numerous power quality parameters, the PM7500, with our Enhanced Harmonics upgrade, is able to simultaneously record individual Harmonics to the 100th on 3 Voltage and 3 Current channels, and to the 50th on the remining 2 channels, as well as the Interharmonic and Interharmonic Sub groups to the 100th as required by ENA Recommendation G5/5.
The PM7500 also has Dual Frequency measurement capability, measuring frequency to 0.001Hz resolution on V4 as an independent fast frequency option with an accuracy of 0.002Hz and noise typically less than 0.001 Hz RMS. This fast frequency measurement is being used to fulfil the National Grid Dynamic Containment requirement of providing ongoing, time-synchronised, gapless data packets, over TCP-IP, of the power and high resolution frequency measurements. These values are required hourly by National Grid to ensure the Dynamic Containment provider is capable of responding as per their Dynamic Containment agreement. Read more about our Dynamic Containment offering here.
The PM7500 records events, trends and transients with min/max logging. As standard, it can also record >500 channels simultaneously and has automatic sag/swell monitoring down to single cycle on 32 channels using our unique recording regime Single Cycle Adaptive Store. As well as measuring flicker and other parameters, the standard unit measures and records harmonics up to the 50th order. As explained above, with our Enhanced Harmonics upgrade, the user can record individual current and voltage harmonics, interharmonics and Interharmonic Subgroups to the 100th simultaneously.
The PM7500 has waveform capture at 384 samples/cycle at 50Hz (19.2kHz) and Ethernet, USB and Bluetooth communication. It is also compatible with Nortech iHost and can be rack-mounted if required.

Key Features Include
- Nominal 110Vac (< 300V RMS) for secondary VT output Power Quality and Energy Monitor
- 0-300Vdc measurement
- Flicker measurements to IEC61000-4-15: Instantaneous Flicker Sensation,Short Term and Long Term Flicker Perceptibility.
- Single Cycle Adaptive Storage™ recording process provides extremely high resolution over long recording periods.
- 32 Troubleshooting channels with single cycle detail.
- General Parameters: Over 470 channels which record automatically for reporting to the Standards.
- Auto-Ranking Waveform Capture: High speed waveform capture ranked for disturbance severity, 7 types of disturbance captured: Transients, falls (sags), rises (surges), rings, notches, THD, Total Harmonic Value. No thresholds need to be set.
- Harmonics to the 50th (standard): THD and individual harmonics to the 50th as standard. As well as using the 32 detailed recording channels, record 1-50th harmonics on all voltage and current channels in General Parameters every measuring session (400 parameters over all 8 inputs).
- Enhanced Harmonics and Interharmonics Option: Automatic and simultaneous measurement of harmonics*1 to the 100th on 6 inputs (V & I), and to the 50th on remaining 2 inputs as well as individual inter-harmonics between fundamental and second harmonics and inter-harmonic sub-groups to the 100th (3 x V only). Individual harmonics, inter-harmonics, groups and sub-groups to the 127th harmonic on any phase can also be measured on detailed Adaptive Store channels. THD and THC also available to the 100th Harmonic.*1 As required by the EN61000-4-7 and G5/5 Standards, harmonics recorded as General Parameters are Harmonic sub-groups comprising the Root Sum Square of the harmonic itself plus the two adjacent 5 Hz lines.
- Dual /Fast Frequency Option: Independent frequency variation measurement on V4. Resolution to 0.001Hz (frequency), single cycle (time), latency ~3 cycles. FFR (V4) measurement range 40-70Hz.
- Dynamic Containment seamless hourly data download facility: Ongoing download facility of time-synchronised, gapless data packets, over TCP-IP, of the power and high resolution frequency measurements required by National Grid to prove a Dynamic Containment Provider’s readiness to act with their fast-acting frequency response.
- Fault Level prediction Option: Peak and RMS fault current predictions generated by observing natural disturbances on the network. See PM7000 FLM product page for more details.
- Bi-colour, status LEDs, externally visible, show recording/memory/voltage/power conditions.
- Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB, USB Flash Drive connectivity.
- Volt free contact closure for status output.
- Comes with Pronto for Windows software, a highly regarded data recovery and analysis package.
- Rack-mounting kit available on request (2U x 19 inches)

I have had the pleasure of working with the Outram's and their Instruments for over 15 years. Their equipment and hire service has never failed. The technical support is second to none and their friendly approach is always appreciated. I have used many alternatives, but for my needs the Ranger PM equipment is the best by far.
Darren Curtis27/07/2023I needed soem support with my Outram kit, and got it within minutes! Can't fault any of them team, but special thanks to Kate for helping me. May i have many more years of service on my PM3000!
Tower Crescent13/10/2021Fantastic equipment. Brilliant onsite support with their G5/5 and Fault Level Monitor equipment.
Simon Lynd08/02/2021I have used Outram Research previously for Power Quality Surveys and G5/4 G5/5 compliance issues. All reports were well presented, on time and well laid out technically. Staff are approachable and customer friendly.
Robert King07/02/2021Whilst under contract to Network Rail [RIDC] Midlands Test Facility at Asfordby, Leicestershire. I was required to investigate the impact on Power Quality of the 25kV Traction Testing being undertaken. I researched suppliers of Power Quality Equipment and on discovering the involvement Outram Research Ltd has with the Electricity Supply Industry I recommended NR engage them to assist in the data collection focussed on NPS [voltage unbalance]. I found that Outram Research had a very thorough understanding of all the issues associated with Power Quality and could supply and connect the appropriate Outram Data Loggers to enable the capture of the data I required. With the data captured I was able to demonstrate the .25kV traction testing imposed far less voltage unbalance on the 132kV network than the DNO anticipated. All the Outram staff I engaged with were extremely knowledgeable not only in the data loggers but also in their application. Outram Research downloaded and filed all the data in a logical manner mailing me the information. I have been so impressed with the company and staff that I recommended Outram Research Ltd to the Network Rail Power Quality department describing my experience with them. R H King.

Rob Weller04/02/2021Have used Outram equipment for a few years now, for power quality investigation work and G5/4 and G5/5 surveys etc. It is quality kit and with good analysis software. There is also a version capable of fault level monitoring. Most of all, a great company to deal with and fantastic support.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 7 reviews
