Elspec BlackBox - Model G5DFR - Multi-Functional Digital Fault Recorder
The BlackBox G5DFR is a sophisticated digital fault recorder that leverages Elspec's proprietary PQZIP compression technology to capture and analyze electrical waveforms at a high sampling rate of 1,024 samples per cycle. By continuously detecting and recording all waveform signals, it ensures that no crucial data is lost, and it's capable of retaining comprehensive records for over a year. Designed for rigorous EMS and power quality applications, it offers superior trends resolution and captures up to 5,000 power parameters at variable cycle intervals. Its dual FFT engines facilitate harmonics and inter-harmonics analysis, providing insights into spectral components with up to 512 harmonics orders. Additionally, it integrates a Phasor Measurement Unit compliant with IEEE synchrophasor standards, ensuring precise and reliable measurements for power system analysis. The G5DFR's robust event mechanism allows for detailed event detection and reporting, providing a critical tool for system monitoring and analysis over TCP/IP and UDP/IP networks.
The BlackBox G5DFR is a fully featured digital fault recorder equipped with PQZIP technology. The G5DFR is a distributed multi-functional data acquisition device that continuously records all waveform signals at sampling rate of 1,024 samples per cycle.

Class A
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.
Superior Accuracy
The G5DFR is equipped with 24 bit ADC to yield, a superior accuracy far surpassing IEC 61000-4-30 Class A requirements, thereby capturing the finest details & deviations in PQ parameters.
Synchronized Monitoring
The BLACKBox DFR’s synchronization algorithm is based on several sources with an automatic hierarchy for the preferred source availability (accuracy based hierarchy). This unique time synchronization algorithm assures that logged data from multiple units is synchronized & displayed on the same time scale with typical 1 μs resolution.
