[RE-wrenches] Recording Volt Meter

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Hi Drake, 

What a coincidence. Our town is in the late stages of
building a 2.4 Mw Biomass plant to burn the 22 million dead ponderosa trees
killed here by the bark beetle. Below is a link. I am not sure if Optics
will log that, but I know the Schneider Configuration tool will log a
reading on that voltage every second in an excel page.

 We are
diagnosing a Stirling generator, that consumes wood pellets and produces
electricity, heat and biochar.  http://stirling-tech.com/biogen/ [3]

 The
machine connects to the grid or an inverter via AC coupling. 

 It is
currently AC coupled to an Outback VFX 3648 through an autotransformer to
produce 240 V. All works well for up to 8 hours, and then it shuts down on
a high voltage error. High voltage for it is around 264 V, and we have
never seen the voltage reach that range. The plan is to put a recording
volt meter on and see if line voltage does spike when the generator shuts
down.

 Thanks,

 Drake

 The Hioki meter
amazes me. It can measure up to 1500VDC, and bluetooth communications to a
really simple to use phone app that records single or multiple channels up
to 24 hrs, and exports to pdf, it's totally intuitive to use. 
 See pg 34
in the manual.

Hello Wrenches,

Does
anyone know of a source for a reliable, yet inexpensive recording volt
meter? 

Thank you,

Drake
