EQ Wave v1
The EQ Wave v1 is a CPOW power quality sensor designed for permanent installation in electrical panels. It captures gapless, high-resolution voltage and current waveforms and streams them to an EQ Gateway for storage and analysis.
Key Characteristics
- Measurement: 3-phase voltage (up to 600V RMS) + 4 current channels via external transducers or Rogowski coils
- Resolution: 24-bit, 32 kHz, 7-channel simultaneous-sampling delta-sigma ADC
- Two-stage isolation: Fiber optic networking + internal capacitive barrier (5 kV)
- Self-powered: AC input (85–528V) or DC input (5–36V, v1.2)
- Industrial: -40°C to +70°C, fanless, rugged polycarbonate enclosure
- Data streams: Continuous CPOW waveforms (port 1534) + power metrics (port 1535) over TCP
- Network: 100Base-FX over plastic optical fiber (POF) via Firecomms OptoLock® connector
- Processor: ARM Cortex-M4 with FPU, real-time operating system with TCP/IP networking
Platform Integration
The sensor connects to an EQ Gateway running EQ Watch for gapless data recording, long-term storage, and APIs. EQ Sight provides real-time visualization. EQ Syntropy adds optional AI analytics.
Hardware Versions
- v1.0 (2023): Initial prototype with core measurement and streaming
- v1.1 (2024): Dual high-voltage resistor divider for improved safety; timing-optimized GNSS receiver footprint
- v1.2 (2025): Current pilot version. Expanded voltage range (600V), supercapacitor backup power (~8 seconds), improved analog conditioning, DC power input (5–36V)
All v1 hardware versions share the same firmware and network interface.
Current Limitations (v1 Firmware)
- Fixed IP: 192.168.10.10 with no DHCP (network configuration planned for future firmware)
- No remote firmware update: v1 requires physical access for firmware changes. Remote parameter updates are planned.
- No on-device storage: microSD hardware is present but not yet supported in firmware
- No GNSS timestamping: Hardware option available but not installed on current units; firmware support planned
EQ Wave v2 (production hardware) details are being finalized. Contact support@eq.systems if you would like to discuss upcoming capabilities and specifications.
