Unipower UP-2210R Rack-Mount Power Quality Analyser & Fault Recorder
The Unipower UP-2210R is the rack-mount variant of the UP-2210 Class A power quality analyzer, engineered to drop directly into substation control cabinets and switchgear panels for permanent power quality and fault recording at MV and HV applications. Powerpoint Engineering supplies the UP-2210R to Irish utilities, transmission and distribution operators, large industrial sites, and renewable substations where the PQ infrastructure has to live alongside protection, control, and metering panels in a standard 19" rack.
Where the panel-mount UP-2210 is the right choice for retrofit installations and existing housings, the UP-2210R is the right unit for new substation builds and refurbishments where everything is being designed to standard rack-mount form factor from the start.
What the UP-2210R does
- Class A power quality analyser: measures all power quality parameters required by IEC 61000-4-30 Class A, including voltage, current, harmonics, flicker, unbalance, and frequency.
- Advanced disturbance recording: high-resolution capture of voltage dips, swells, transients, interruptions, and rapid voltage changes with timestamped event records.
- Fault recorder: integrated fault recording function that captures the waveform around grid disturbances for after-the-fact analysis.
- EN 50160 compliance reporting: produces the data and reports needed for EN 50160 assessment.
- Energy monitoring: integrated energy values, supporting connection to energy monitoring systems alongside the PQ data.
- PQ Secure integration: reports into the Unipower PQ Secure central management system alongside the wider Unipower meter fleet.
- Standard 19" rack form factor: drops into substation control cabinets, panel rooms, and standard server racks without custom mounting.
Why a rack-mount form factor matters in substation builds
New substation control cabinet design is dominated by 19" rack form factor. Protection relays, RTUs, communications gateways, GPS time references, and metering all live in the same rack. A power quality analyser that ships in the same physical envelope is much easier to specify, install, commission, and replace through the substation lifecycle. The UP-2210R is built for that, with the same Class A measurement capability as the UP-2210 in the form factor that fits the new substation rack standard.

Target users and applications
- Utilities and DNOs deploying PQ and fault recording infrastructure in new and refurbished substations
- Transmission operators monitoring PQ and capturing fault waveforms at primary substations
- Renewable site operators integrating PQ analysers into the standard control cabinet build of wind, solar, and BESS substations
- Large industrial sites with sub-station control cabinets running on standard 19" form factor
- System integrators specifying PQ infrastructure as part of a wider substation automation package
Typical applications include permanent EN 50160 compliance monitoring at substation feeders, fault recording for after-event analysis on transmission and distribution incidents, MV and HV applications where the analyser has to live alongside protection and control, and connection-point PQ monitoring for renewable generation. Powerpoint Engineering supplies the UP-2210R alongside the panel-mount Unipower UP-2210, the portable Unilyzer 900 Class A analyser, and the central PQ Secure power quality management software they all report to.
We support the UP-2210R with our wider calibration and repair services and power quality monitoring survey services for sites that prefer a hybrid in-house plus survey approach.
FAQs
What is the difference between the UP-2210 and the UP-2210R?
Both are Class A power quality measurement units. The UP-2210 is panel-mount; the UP-2210R is rack-mount in standard 19" form factor for substation control cabinets and panel rooms. Functionally, they share the same Class A measurement capability and integrate identically with PQ Secure.
Does the UP-2210R also act as a fault recorder?
Yes. The UP-2210R combines the Class A power quality analyser function with advanced disturbance recording and fault recording capabilities, capturing the waveform around grid disturbances. That removes the need for a separate fault recorder in many substation builds.
Does the UP-2210R need calibration?
Yes. As a Class A instrument used for compliance, acceptance, and fault analysis decisions, the UP-2210R should be recalibrated periodically. Powerpoint Engineering's calibration laboratory recalibrates Unipower power quality meters and supplies a traceable certificate.
